Automatic assembly line MAC/75709

verticalrotaryfor cans

The can bodies are entered to the machine in vertical position. This line consists of following stations: 1st Station: Inlet Conveyor and Synchronization to Body Transfer Arms Infeed conveyor and synchronization to the transfer arms will move the can body between the stations for the below operations. Synchronization is performed by pneumatic fingers that are driven by electronic cam. Transferring arms’ back and forth and open-close movement is done by a cam system which is powered by servo motor. 2nd Station: Welding Line Indexing Unit The body is turned on a rotary table in order to detect where the welding line is. The welding line is positioned as set on the screen. The detecting of the line is done via contrast sensor or ultrasonic sensor. 3rd Station: Body Shaping Unit (Expanding) The cylindrical body is lifted up into the hanging expanding arms which will make the expanding from four corners. The expanding and the lifting with belt system is powered and controlled by servo motors. The expanding range and the lifting height can be adjusted from the touch display automatically. 4th Station: Body Embossing Unit (Paneling) The expanded body is lifted up into the hanging embossing head where the four side of the body is pressed between internal and external moving panels. The embossing head and the lifting with belt system is powered and controlled by servo motors. The embossing range and the lifting height can be adjusted from the touch display automatically. 5th Station: Bottom Flanging Unit Mechanical powered flanging system is squeezing the body from corners. The expanded body is lifted to the upside down hanging flanging tool with servo cam mechanism.
