Special Purpose Machines

Any permutation of nine holes can be punched in an aluminium pressing for part identification.

The hole patterns are pre-programmed in a PLC They are then selected by inputting the part number on a key pad.

The machine also incorporates a stamping operation which marks each component with a serial number.

A pneumatically powered, PLC controlled
machine for dispensing a bead of oil into a groove.

The machine is manually adjustable for component width and automatically starts and stops dispensing by optically sensing the position of each end the component. Allowing any length of component to be filled with no set-up time.

The machine also has a sensing device that automatically starts the cycle when a part has been loaded to the correct position.

This pneumatically controlled and powered machine pre-clamps aluminium radiator cores prior to welding.

This application can be applied to other assemblies that require preparation prior to welding.
