HANDLING SYSTEM FOR RAILWAY WHEELS
Challenge
- High workpiece weight
- High torques for the swivel jaw
- Limited carrying capacity of the gantry
- Gripping brake discs and railway wheels without changing jaws or grippers
- Workpiece holder
Solution
Handling system for loading and unloading machining centers with different types of railway wheels and brake discs. Corresponding to the part geometry, the wheels are picked up via a two-stage jaw set. Servoelectric swiveling axes above the gripper system and servo swiveling axes integrated into the gripper fi ngers ensure smooth reorientation of the workpieces in the gripper. The securing of the workpieces in the gripper is implemented via the self-locking mechanism of the spindles.
- A-axis with 500 Nm drive
- C-axis
- Weight-optimized design
- Two-stage jaw set according to the respective part geometry
- Self-limiting threaded spindles in the gripper module
