END CHANGER SYSTEMS

Low cost Compact Automatic end identification Smooth accurate indexing

DESCRIPTION
The manual and powered End-Changer System can be a simple, compact and low-cost system for processing up to two different product arrays. It is most suitable for smaller products in medium to high production volumes.

MANUAL SYSTEMS

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
The operator loads one side and the robot works on the other. When the operator has finished loading they either manually rotate the system or presses the "loader pushbutton" to automatically change ends and the cycle is then repeated.

PRODUCT CHANGES
Jobs are fixed into position to ensure repeatability. Fixtures are usually located on dowels to ensure they are correctly positioned when replaced.

POWERED SYSTEMS

POWERED
Our powered systems are based around a large diameter slewing ring.
This allows loads of up to 1000kg to be carried.
The ring is driven by an inverter controlled 3 phase motor and the loading area protected with a laser scanner.
This allows us to program not only the safety zone, but also a warning area around it to sound a buzzer and prevent unnecessary stoppages. If the drive system becomes unserviceable, the gearbox is designed to allow complete reversion to a manual system.
