Hot Staking Machine

AFM-8200

STANDARD FEATURES

  • AC-powered hot-staking unit.

  • Dual-headed hot staking operation providing simultaneous welding of two (2) tangs.

  • Automatic load/unload from chain or pallet.

  • Free-floating (low friction) head design.

  • Reduced cycle time due to cylinder and valve selection and position.

  • Three (3) preset pressures programmable into any phase of the welding cycle.

  • Integrated MedWeld weld control.

  • Ten (10) part parameter storage using the standard thirty-one (31) weld schedules.

  • 10 KVA transformer at 50% duty cycle, 7.1 KVA continuous, with 10 tap primary and 1.0 to 2.0 or 2.0 to 4.0 VAC secondary voltage.

  • Quick change weld electrode and ground bar.

  • Bench setup of weld electrode in holder.

  • Flexible, high current carrying capacity cables.

  • Servo motor driven rotator for rotating the armature into welding positions.

  • Hardinge collet mounted in simplified spindle and retained by an air actuated drawbar.

  • Operator control panel on movable pendant.

  • Initial index of armature via armature rotation and mechanical blade in lift chuck.

  • Self-contained chiller with separate in and out manifolds.

  • Quick positioning of hot staking heads.

  • Easy access with swing away guarding.

  • Allen-Bradley SLC-5/03 Programmable Controller.

  • Allen-Bradley Data Table Access Module, 2 line and 16 characters.

 

 

HOT STAKING ELECTRICAL CONTROL SYSTEMS

  • MedWeld interface with Allen-Bradley and MedLAN network.

  • Programming weld sequence schedule by setting time, current, and pressure.

  • High and low limit settings for current, power factor, and ratio of available current as compared to current settings  (C factor).

  • Automatic voltage compensation.

  • Automatic current compensation.

  • Automatic power factor compensation.

  • Real time machine control.

  • SPC capability of data from the MedWeld unit.

  • Ability to layer and restrict program accessibility. 

  • Machine can be programmed to auto- matically stop for undesirable measurements.

  • Ability to limit and monitor the number of hits of weld electrode.

 

 

 

FREE FLOATING (LOW FRICTION)

HEAD DESIGN

  •  Low friction roller ball guide assembly.

  • Fast acting air valve attached to cylinder.

  • Low friction air cylinder not attached to electrode holding assembly.

  • Welding cables mounted to avoid restricting movement of welding head.

  • Positive air cylinder driven return of welding head. 

  • Maximum force 628 Newtons.

 

SERVO MOTOR DRIVEN ROTATOR ASSEMBLY

  •  Quick Change Hardinge collet with air actuated drawbar assembly.  Identical collet to that used in the armature winding machine.

  • Programmable servo motor drive assembly to accurately position tang under electrode.

Quick Change Tooling

  •  Quick change “no tool” Hardinge collet.

  • Lift chuck with initial index blade.

  • Quick change “no tool” ground bar.

  • Quick change “no tool” electrode holder with bench setup device, extra electrode and electrode holder.

 

MACHINE SPECIFICATIONS

Electrical Requirements

  • 208/220/240/380/400/440/480/600 Volts,

  • 3-phase, 50/60 Hz, 25 KVA.

 

Pneumatic Requirements
