HANDLING SYSTEM FOR CYLINDER BLOCKS
Challenge
- Different cylinder bore distances
- Frictional fit gripping with a gripping force safety device
- Preventing unwanted tension when loading and unloading on the positioning pins
Solution
Loading and unloading machining centers with different types of 3-cylinder crankcases. To move to the different pitches of the cylinder bores, the axial distance of the individual grippers is changed pneumatically. To align the workpieces in the gripper, a combination of parallel and concentric grippers is used. When loading and unloading the device, positional inaccuracies are compensated by an integrated pneumatically centerable twin-axis compensation. Due to the variety of types, the part presence was implemented using a touchless, stroke-independent sensor system.
- Pneumatic pitch adjustment
- XY standard compensation
- Increased friction value due to tempered gripper pins (suitable for loading unfi nished parts only)
