Armature Cell Inserting Machine CIMA-8000 & CIMA-8000
STANDARD FEATURES Automatic form, cut and insertion of cell insulation into armatures with material up to 0.38mm (0.015 inches) thickness. Variable speed D.C. motor drive system.     Cell insulator length determined by mechanical linkage and stop. Cell material cut lengths up to 108 mm (4.25 inches). Cell insulator cut lengths of most insulating materials  +/- 0.25 mm (+/- 0.01 inches). Manual load and unload – armature horizontal. Allen-Bradley Micrologix Programmable Controller. Allen-Bradley Microview Display, 2 line, 16 characters. Operator Control Panel on swivel pendant. Sensor to detect paper movement. Low material, malfunction, and cycle interrupt lights. Guarding with electrical interlocks. Welded steel frame and robust side plates. Metric construction where possible. Cycle time dependant on model. Electric jog (movement) for safe positioning (normal stop) in order to return to “start” position.
MODELS  CIM-8000    – Manual load/unload - maximum stack height -108 mm (4.25 inches) at 3.75 cells per second.  CIMA-8000  – Automatic - Lift station - maximum stack height -108 mm (4.25 inches) at 3.75 cells per second.  CIM-8500    – Manual load/unload - maximum stack height - 60 mm (2.38 inches) at 4.75 cells per second.  CIMA-8500   – Automatic - Lift station - maximum stack height - 60 mm (2.38 inches) at 4.75 cells per second.
OPTIONS Material slitting mechanism to automatically cut cell material to desired width.  Material width to be at least 3.2 mm (0.125 inches) greater than desired final width. Second material supply. Skewed armatures up to 15 degrees are accommodated with machine set at an angle to material handling.
	TOOLING Tooling to accommodate most insulating materials including rag, paper, laminates, mylar, or other similar plastic materials and laminates up to 0.38 mm (0.015 inches) thickness.  Thicker materials require custom designs. Tooling consisting of lift chuck, upper and lower form rolls, cell cavity, nose piece, ram, tamp blade, and knife assembly. Tooling designed to provide cell material formed to precisely fit the contour of the lamination.
