ACAM-8000 Armature Shaft Assembly Machine

The Globe ACAM-8000 armature shaft assembly machine automatically inserts armature shafts into the preselected armature stacks of interlocked (dimpled) laminations for sub-fractional and fractional horsepower electric motors.  As with all Globe “Series 8000” machines, the ACAM-8000 can be used as a stand-alone machine, in a work-cell or easily moved up to any style material handling system for use in a fully automated armature production line.
