From servo press to palletizing system: solutions for handling

In classic mechanical engineering, users are increasingly confronted with the requirements of clean production. IEF-Werner shows sophisticated solutions with which companies can design handling processes economically and safely - also for production under clean-technical conditions.
For such special manufacturing environments, the manufacturer has developed an extremely compact palletizer concept based on the "Variostack" palletizing system with the Variostack CF "Clean Factory". The main focus here was on low particle emission and easy cleaning with consistently short cycle times and high reliability.
The servo press series "Aipress" has a flexible structure and can be integrated in automated production lines and manual workstations. During the pressing / joining process, a kinematics built on a solid "C-frame" ensures micrometer-precise positioning of the press quill with simultaneous force monitoring.
The manufacturer has various drive systems in its range for fast and fully automatic pick-and-place tasks. Designers have the choice between simple linear units for mounting on their own motors up to multi-axis, fully assembled positioning systems. This includes the Timing beltsaxis of the 160/15 G series, which is equipped with two slides that can be moved independently of one another. Since both traversing units are on one axis, a fast and at the same time compact system can be implemented.
If there are high demands on compactness, dynamics, speed as well as positioning and repeatability, direct drives have clear advantages. The Euroline series offers an extremely quick and precise solution here. Because the units unite Linear motor, a position measuring system and a guide, the user receives a ready-to-install system that requires little effort in construction and assembly. Several independent carriages can even be mounted on one guide, thus creating space-saving systems.
The “Domiline” adjustment unit is an adjustment slide that can be used to position measuring systems as desired. It has a modular structure and is easy to upgrade and convert. In order to be able to move the carriage even more precisely and use the system even more easily, the automation specialist has developed accessories - such as the rotary adjuster type MDV for manual operation. This can be mounted on the slide and is suitable for optimally positioning a camera system, for example. A high quality one worm gear creates the rotational movements. The rotary adjuster has a quick adjustment of the plate as well as a fine adjustment and a clamp.
