However, in order to run the filling machine as fast as possible without incurring product spillage, Sick sought advice from Ace design engineers.
Their solution was the fitting of an SC 190 miniature shock absorber onto each metering unit.
These maintenance-free, ready-to-install hydraulic devices support the metering station (See pix) and control the movement of the granulate-filled cartridges.
They always accept the mass softly and evenly throughout the stroke.
The metering unit stops exactly at the precisely defined position for each individual cup and the filling process occurs fast and precisely.
Ace SC miniature shock absorbers have an integral mechanical stop and have proven themselves ideal in applications for handling devices, linear cylinders, rod less cylinders and pneumatically driven slides.
