Walking Beam Transfer System

Task

Application of a mechanical transfer system on a dual slide press for the production of automobile parts. Increasing the production performance by 50% to 12 strokes per minute in continuous mode operation at a travel in operating direction of 2700 mm. The overall length of the transfer unit is 17700 mm

Solution

The blanks are taken up by a centering unit with a walking beam system for further transportation.With the Long Pitch version, the crossbars are moved on the rails by a carriage. The stroke movement of the dual rail walking beam system has been implemented over the entire length of 17 m with 3 Z-axes.

Scope of supply

Walking beam system type WBD-0/LP fully sychronized with the exsiting press.

Result

The requierd 12 spm could be achieved in continuous mode operation. The crossbar change is performed automatically within a couple of minutes, the storage mounts are located on the bolster carriages.
