ARMATURE END INSULATOR PLACING MACHINE
ELP/XL-90A
DESCRIPTION
The Model ELP/XL-90A is a fully automatic machine designed to place the end insulator onto armature shaft end lamination core assemblies. This machine is designed to accommodate either single piece, end insulator and shaft collar moldings or separate fiber end insulators and shaft collars.
Single piece end insulator/shaft collar moldings are fed via two (2) separate vibrator bowls onto belt conveyors which transports them to the orientation and placement pickup station. Escapements on the belt conveyors allow a single part to reach the orientation/placer pickup position.
Flat fiber type end insulators can be handled in the same vibratory feed/belt conveyor manner or can be selected and placed from pre-oriented supply chutes.
Shaft collars are fed, using vibratory bowls, to the placer station where they are picked up by the placer rams and pushed onto the correct position on each end of the armature shaft.
The Model ELP/XL-90A machines are arranged as modular units so that they can adapt to various types of transport systems, i.e., gravity feed, positive chain transport or palletized conveyor systems. In all cases, armature cores are positioned by a loading chuck into a next and indexed (if necessary to the proper radial position for insulator placing.
In all cases, the placing stations are all arranged on the side of the machine opposite the transfer system for ease of material loading and machine maintenance.
