The modularity/orientation of the units, the wide working area and combined operations make this machine very flexible and suitable for various applications. The easy access on all sides and the minimum floor space required for the main structure mean it can be easily included in existing lines.
The main column is mounted on a robust and motorized rotating table able to precisely orient the machine in the desired direction. The lifting arm is mounted on one side of the column and is worked by a system of belts/pulleys equipped with counterweights. At the end of each arm is a motorized wrist to which the gripper is attached.
Main features
The machine has three continually controlled electric axes (CNC) with brushless self-braking motors equipped with an encoder; the rotation of the column, the vertical movement of the working arm, and the rotation of the motorized wrist are effected with interpolated movements; the control of the axes enables the operator to fix the points of differentiated trajectories both in the outward and return movement according to the work to be carried out and the product to be handled.
The column is mounted on a compact gear motor with reduced play and high rigidity.
Toothed belts with internal strands (requiring no maintenance) for lifting are proportioned to ensure safe working conditions and safe dynamic working loads.
Prismatic recirculating-sphere guides have an automated lubrication system (replaceable cartridge) and near-empty indicator (possibility of connecting to the machine PLC).
The main single-column structure and lifting arm are made of painted steel, designed with the finite-element method, based on the greatest distortion in heavy duty working.
On request, an automatic format changeover system with tool area at the side of the machine can be supplied; the connection and hooking up of the utilities (air, tension) can be done automatically or manually.
