AUTOMATIC SHEET LOADER
New version of automatic sheet loader – version 2017.
Automatic material feeder + centering platen + pusher
The movable parts of the feeder are driven by electric motors controlled by inverters, or optionally the drive is conveyed by:
The current version of the automatic material feeder consists of:
– 4 servo-motors responsible for lifting and lowering the centering platen containing the material.
– 1 servo-motor in the pusher (which pushes and drops the material onto the platen)
– 1 servo-motor responsible for moving the feeder over the dividing window, as well as collecting the finished products.
– air knifes used for separating the plates stored on the stack.
– a set of programmable vacuum cups (you can select which cup is to remain active), which are used to collect the plate sheets
The centering table consists of 4 electrical motors, trapezoidal screws and a path-measurement module. The purpose of the platen is to align the material stash with the dividing window.
The platen can work with up to 2 stashes of material, with two dividing windows.
All the relevant parameters can be set via the Operator’s panel.
The pusher/centering table set cooperates with the thermoforming machine in the following manner:
- The pallets are centered.
- The position of the material gets centered before it gets picked-up by the suction cups.
- The suction cups pick-up the material and move it to the dividing frame.
- The suction cups drop the material on the dividing frame.
- The pusher returns to its original position and a new sheet is transported.
The machine can be equipment optional with Pusher.
The machine comes with an integrated pushing device (pusher) which pushes the finished products to the next stage of the production line. The feeder allows to push the material to the front of the machine. The initial/final position of the pusher, depending on the siz of the product, can be adjusted via the Operator’s panel. The device consists of linear guides and a linear servo-motor. This device noticeably shortens the time needed for picking-up the finished thermoformed product.
