Lifting-turning-setting device
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.
