Pneumatic wedge lift

Pneumatic cylinders laid along the lift pull wedges against bearings held in supports on the top plate; the wedge geometry raises the plate.

Build height: 130 mm.

Vision-based leak test stationThe part is coupled to a water-filled hose with an air bubble in the inspection zone, −180 mbar is applied and the part is immersed in water.Piesa, prinsă într-un dispozitiv, e scufundată într-un bazin cu apă și legată printr-un furtun plin cu apă de un tub transparent în care stă o bulă de aer, luminat din spate. Se aplică vid de −180 mbar; camera industrială urmărește bula și, dacă aceasta se deplasează mai mult de 1 mm, piesa e respinsă ca neetanșă. Semnalul camerei ajunge la controler1−180 mbar

Vision-based leak test station

The part is coupled to a water-filled hose with an air bubble in the inspection zone, −180 mbar is applied and the part is immersed in water.

A camera tracks the bubble: movement of more than 1 mm means a leak.

The test method is the customer’s; we built the test station.

CNC plasma cutter retrofitAn old machine with no post-processor.Masa veche de tăiere cu plasmă, cu pat din lamele, portal și arzător pe axa Z, desenată cu linie obișnuită. Părțile noi apar în alamă: tabloul electric nou, motoarele pas cu pas pe axele X, Y și Z, cablurile și postul de comandă cu monitor. Pe tablă se vede conturul tăiat, iar la vârful arzătorului arcul de plasmă. Axele X, Y, Z sunt marcateXYZ

CNC plasma cutter retrofit

An old machine with no post-processor.

New electrical cabinet, new stepper motors and Mach3 control.

Retrofit

We upgrade stations, cabinets and software on lines already in production.

All retrofit work
The same station before and after retrofitLeft: the old station with analogue instruments. Right: new HMI, signal tower and new sensors wired to the cabinet: kW (current transformer), m³/h (flow meter), ID (code reader), Σ n (counting sensor).kWm³/hIDΣ n
