The robot arm loads the press with sometimes hot rawlings.
After the pressing procedure, the formed parts are removed from the press and palletized. Read more ...

Large parts that require manual racking have historically been the bottleneck on large press lines. So much so, they can actually dictate the speed by which production is run. The customer had a major problem with material handling congestion and ergonomic issues for the operators as they picked up parts from flat conveyor surfaces. The first goal of this program was to allow parts to be processed at more stations, while allowing fork truck traffic to flow smoothly. This was accomplished by dividing the exiting parts into additional racking stations and fanning out the turn tables to avoid material handling congestion. The second part of this goal was achieved by presenting the parts to the operators ergonomically to reduce the potential for injury. Read more ...

The primary purpose of this 12-Axis Resistance Welding System is to create individual structural spot welds and hermetic seam welds in a light gauge stainless steel fuel tank. The spot welds must be located within 1mm of the engineering requirements over entire 15m length of the tanks. Furthermore, the system must maintain this accuracy while reacting the high forging forces necessary to make a high quality spot weld. Read more ...

The objective of this installation is to polish commercial aircraft aluminum skin panels. The quality of the process is strictly correlated to the consistency of the pressure applied by the buffing wheel over the stretch formed skin held by the supporting tool. Read more ...

In the factory for train wheels, axles and wheelsets, after machining the unfinished wheels must be inspected for fractures and cavities in an ultrasound testing device.
The wheels must be submerged in a water tank at an angle of 75°. During this process the gripper is also totally submerged!
Wheel weight: max. 1,000kg
Wheel diameter: 700 - 1,270 mm
Total weight, incl. gripper: 2,200 kg Read more ...

In the factory for train wheels, axles and wheelsets, unfinished wheels must be removed from a stack of wheels and deposited in a vertical lathe followed by a hub drilling machine..
A low ceiling height and the requirement not to build the portal over the middle of the machine’s spindle called for an extremely long gripper extension and an additional turn and rotation axis..
Wheel weight: max. 1,200 kg.
Wheel diameter: 700 - 1,270 mm.
Total weight, incl. gripper: 3,500 kg.
