ZR Unit with a Long Stroke Gripper Video

rnMarch 21st, 2011 Posted in Application Examples rnrnrnnnrnnnThis display unit combines the ZR unit and long-stroke gripper to transfer work parts of different sizes.nnrnnnThe ZR unit is a compact unit, combining the vertical axis and the rotational axis into one. Also, the Cartesian robot is used to perform movement in the X-Y direction.nnrnrnnnThe range of operation can be set larger than that of a comparable SCARA robot by increasing the X-Y stroke.nnrnnnThe long-stroke gripper can grip work parts of all sizes, so it can meet your needs for all types of work parts.

Precision Pallet Conveyors

Quality, Productivity and Flexibility! nnrn

The mk Modular Pallet Conveyors are designed to improve manufacturing productivity and product quality while rnallowing for maximum assembly flexibility – making mk’s pallet conveyors the prime option for a conveyor that meets all the needs of your specific automation project and the pallet you are transporting. nnrn

With your choice of four different conveying styles; belt, timing belt, chain or accumulating roller chain, mk offers the broadest line-up of non-synchronous assembly conveyors available anywhere. Combined with an extensive range of rnpositioning and transfer modules, elevators and pallet options, the mk system offers almost endless possibilities. nnrn

With mk pallet conveyors you have the freedom to select the configuration best suited for your layout and production process. Construct and combine our different conveyor styles into: over/under, recirculating, in-line or parallel lines. All systems can be easily expanded, re-configured or relocated as your needs change. nnrn

Whatever your application, our application engineers have likely worked on it. They’ll carefully review your requirements – cycle time, payload, floor space, process flow – and devise the best conveyor rnlayout to suit them.nnrn

rnIdeal for Rough Environments

rnnnChain conveyor KTF-P 2010 serves as the basic system component for the manufacturer of single or multiple strand material handling systems. Chains run on our low friction wear strips, thus increasing the life span of the chains and allowing for the allocation of heavily loaded pallets. They are designed for high load capacity, making it the best choice for a heavy-duty rnapplication.nnrnnnSpecificationsnnrnnnnn

Ideal for Pallet Transport and AccumulationnnrnThe roller chain conveyor system SRF-P 2012 is designed for the transport and accumulation of loads up to 300 kg, or 660 lbs. Examples of typical applications include product transfers between work stations or the accumulation of products between processes. T-slots on three sides offer plenty of options for mounting stops, side rails, sensors, stands, etc, further allowing you to make the conveyor a perfect fit for your specific application, enabling you to easily and simply adjust and reconfigure as necessary.nnrnrnnnSpecificationsnnrnnnnn

New Weber SLIM-09 Controler

Posted on 01/07/2011 at 3:53 pm.

Written by Craig Frazee

Weber USA is proud to announce an update to the successful SLIM-08 controller which has been available for some time. The new updated system brings all the benefits of the older 08 control package but with many upgraded features: nnrn

nnrn

The SLIM09 is also part of the new ECO-TORK product range and is designed to allow replacement of expensive to operate, noisy and maintenance intensive pneumatic prime movers such as one-shot screwdrivers, air motors and other devices requiring air and oil. nnrn

The system has a clean new look while maintaining backwards compatibility and high reliability for use in high cycle fastening applications. nnrn

nnrn

The new form factor also now offers either monochrome or full color HMI (human machine interface) and provides even more feedback to the operator than was available from the older 08 product line. nnrn

nnrn

These ‘customer driven’ features bring a new level of capability to the controller which now has higher performance output from the motor packages, higher cycle capability, lower ‘current’ usage (energy savings) and has the ability to accommodate various future upgrades due to the capability of internal components used. See your Weber Sales Manager for more details on this future expandability. nnrn

nnrn

rn The new SLIM09 products underlying “Value Proposition”, is the bold new features, the advanced functionality and a cleaner package all available at the same price as the old 08 system for the first 6 month from launch Date ( November 1st 2010 ). rnnnrn

rnFeatures: nnrn

rn4 – Gearbox combinations for various Torque and speed ranges nnrn

rnNew HMI Touch Screen interaction with system settings, strategies and variables changes. nnrn

rnBackwards compatible with SLIM08 control architecture nnrn

rn220V AC standard with 110V AC optional for greater output torque/speed and less current usage. nnrn
