Machine load and unload

2 different types of valve bodies are being set up for machining with the help of a rollconveyor for loading and unloading of a micro finish machine (Microstar V142). The front face of the valve bodies are being machined on one of the 2 round tables in the machining stations.

By moving down the central stroke unit PHE 100 and the additional downwards movement of the outside located PHE 80, the 3 PGNplus 64 grippers achieve their gripping position (positions: partly loading, grip, intermediate stop and partly stop). Due to the 90° swivel movement, the OSE-A 45 and the lifting of the stroke units, the gripped parts are shifted to the next stations and moved downwards. The additional angular gripper DWG 44 operates as intermediate stop. The OSE-A 14, which is positioned behind the third PGNplus 64 gripper ensures that the valve housing is positioned and placed correctly. This process runs 24/7.

The customer has been using this unit for over a year now without any interruptions of his process.
