Example

Lifting-turning-setting device
for molds up to 8 tons

We bring your molds together.

The task

Handling

The customer needs a concept for joining molds. On an existing conveyor line, the upper mold must be turned and then placed on the lower mold.
The space conditions are very tight and the process must be carried out without personnel if possible.

The solution

The developed concept resulted in a handling module with the following functions/work steps:

  • Various sensors are used to determine the position and orientation of the upper part of the casting mold.
  • With the data, the drive axle moves to the correct position and turns the gripper parallel to the mold.
  • Now both gripper jaws move independently inwards and stop on resistance of the mold.
  • Two synchronized lifting spindles lift the mold and rotate it 180° with two synchronized swivel drives.
  • The position and orientation of the lower part of the mold is determined by sensors.
  • Using the data, the drive axis moves the upper part of the mold to the correct position and rotates it parallel to the lower part of the mold.
  • The two synchronized lifting spindles reduce the height ofthe upper part of the casting mold until it rests on the lowerpart of the casting mold.
  • When the lifting spindle is released, the stroke is stopped and the two gripper jaws move outwards.
  • Safety is ensured with surface scanners.

Example

Buffer system for ladder
frames of off-road vehicles

Almost weightlessly your products fly
into the warehouse.

The task

Handling
Storage

The customer requires a concept and design for two space-saving FIFO storage units for ladder frames of off-road vehicles. The storage should be able to buffer five frames. The takeover and handover is carried out to an on-site overhead conveyor system. The protection technology (protective fence and access protection) is in the scope of the customer.

The solution

The developed concept and its design resulted in a handling module with the following functions:

  • Rail-mounted trolley with toothed belt drive for moving the ladder frames.
  • Scissor lift system with a push chain for lifting and lowering the ladder frames. The supports on the lifting system are designed cantilevered so that the frames can be moved into a rack.
  • By buffering the ladder frames in a rack, each frame can be accessed.
  • The driving and lifting positions are determined by a laser distance measuring system.
  • For safe and gentle transport and storage, the plastic holders were developed in close cooperation with the customer.

Facts & figures

Capacity: 12 ladder-fames/hour

Alztec Team:
