HANDLING SYSTEM FOR RIMS
Challenge
- Wide variety of parts from 14" - 24"
- Powder-coated rims/uncured
- Cycle time
- Compensation of height differences during the depositing process
- Workpiece holder
Solution
The standard solution developed by Zimmer Group for handling automotive rims was designed to reliably handle the most common rim sizes throughout all production processes. Set-up time is kept to a minimum or eliminated entirely. Whether in machining or surface treatment, the system allows flexible configuration as a single, double or multiple gripper system.
- Long stroke gripper with up to 220 mm stroke/jaw
- Rotating cutter disc
- Axis compensation in Z direction
- Position maintenance by means of clamping element
- Active stroke limitation for cycle time optimization
