Clinching automation for precision profiles

Clinching automation for steel precision profiles with lengths up to 6 meters.

Operation:

  • A pack of lose precision profiles is placed on the roller conveyor at the input.
  • The profiles are pulled down on the conveyor and are stacked manually 2 by 2 against a positioning plate on the conveyor belt.
  • The conveyor belt moves the profiles sideways until the end stop.
  • In this position are the profiles lifted and locked by the gripper.
  • This gripper is powered by a servo motor which pushes the profile step-by-step through the clinching press at the correct distance.
  • When the gripper from the input reaches the final couple of steps the gripper on the output side takes over to ensure quality clinches.
  • The output gripper positions the profile for stacking.
  • The stacker picks up the profile, tilts it a quarter turn and stacks the profiles on the output conveyor belt.
  • The conveyor belt brings the finished stack beyond the light curtain where the operator can tie the stack together and take it away for delivery.
