Automated loading system

Reishauer’s own automation concept is an integral part of its performance portfolio. This part loading automation keeps pace with the machines fast cycle times, productivity and availability. Automation and machine are in perfect synch as they share their place of origin, the same CNC control philosophy and the same interfaces. Material flows can be easily synchronised and optimised to the specific operational requirements. This loader system offers customers completely new degrees of freedom. It can equally handle disk-type or shaft-type workpieces, from small planetary gears to heavy-duty final drive gears. The loader’s high flexibility ensures that the user can quickly respond to future production requirements. This automation can be configured independently of the part supply system (e.g. plate chain conveyor, single tray or stacked trays). The modular design enables the integration of additional functions such as gear flank analysing, deburring with rotary brushes, oil centrifuging, laser marking, over ball measurements, SPC, etc. Standard Equipment 3D gantry with 4 NC servo axes Splash oil-tight cover with oil recirculating pump Access door with integrated NOK & SPC part station Plate chain conveyor Automatic central lubrication system Lifetime lubrication of all rotary axes Pneumatic equipment (Festo) Compact design Technical Data Workpiece diameter up to260 mm Electric drive unit Z-axis (rack and pinion) Electric drive unit X/Y-axis (toothed belt) Number of axes4 Repeatable positioning accuracy< 0.01 mm Load carrying capacity up to20 kg Electric drive unit of C-axis (with transmission)
