Agme special purpose machine for coolers thickness control
AGME has designed and manufactured a special purpose machine for coolers thickness control for an important automotive components manufacturer. Required processPlates control holding up a pressure of 6 atmospheres. SolutionAGME has designed a special purpose machine with the following features:- An aluminium profile bench table.- Four plate beds.- Four superior plates go on vertically with the aid of a pneumatic cylinder.- Four centesimal detectors with 4 floating axles.- The four plates go on guided with two columns each one.- Two horizontal cylinders of approximately 100 kgs. each one.- Each cylinder has 4 floating dies on a slide with rail and flanges.- One of the sides has a 6 atmospheres pneumatic connection.- Units support.- A tunnel of bad pieces that fall down to a box.Cycle description- Feeding and placing of 4 plates on 4 beds.- Start button and safety by photoelectric barrier. - 4 vertical plates are individually supported by the plates.- Four units vertical movement - Application of an air flow of 6 atmospheres in aprox. 2 seconds.- If the plates are OK, the units go back.- If any of the plates is NOK, all the plates stay blocked.- In the NOK unit, the bad plate is retired and it passes for a tunnel to a NOK pieces box and automatically the OK units go back- Retire OK pieces.- Load again.Electrical elements:- Cabinet with power elements.- Control with autómata "Siemens" S7-300.- "Siemens" ref. TP-177 Control PanelPneumatic elements:- Progressive air presure starter - General Electrovalve and pneumatic presostate.- Pneumatic disconnecting deviceGuards:- Aluminium fixed guards around the machine - Photoelectric barrier in the operator access.- The machine has the CE certification.
