One Machine – Lots of Flexibility allows for multiple tube diameters, different tube lengths, more than one hole, adjustable hole locations linearly and radially. Different tube ‘recipes’ are easily programmable through the MMI screen – no laptop is required. Components - The feeder is operator loaded, gravity fed and can hold up to 30 parts. The X-Y-Z robot picks the parts from the feeder and positions them in a three stage press. The first and second stages are for piercing holes and the third stage is the re-sizer. The robot then places the part onto an unload chute. Speed allows parts to be processed as fast as 8 seconds. The high speed Cartesian robot combined with the other lean and optimized engineered components provide reliable, accurate and fast processing. Controls include device net communications and simple MMI programming. Programming new parts is so easy. Simply call up one of 16 available recipes – enter in tube diameter, length, punch numbers, hole locations (absolute – linear and relative – radially) and nothing more. Easy changeover permits all of the changeover components to be switched or adjusted within minutes – with no tools. The feeder is manually adjusted to suit the tube length and then locked into position. The upper and lower punch tooling is individually changed to suit hole style and then finally, the internal die shafts are switched.
