Stacking machine developed for bearing parts
Useful for stacking items like bearings cages/bearing washers and such other components the stacking machine is for automatically feeding components into a vibratory bowl feeder.
Sorter and grader does not bind or grip parts
Designed to feed and sort and grade components having cylindrical and spherical geometry the rolls of this unit do not bind or grip the parts and are extremely sensitive to fine tolerances.
The system feeds parts at a continuous pressure to give better and consistent quality of ground components.
Another advantage of the feeding system is that it enables unmanned operation allowing one operator to tend three to four centreless grinders.
Automatic feeding increases output further as the centreles grinders need not be stopped during lunchtime and tea breaks.
The system consists of a vibratory bowl feeder and a linear vibrator ahead of that.
A table is also provided to mount both these units.
Optional accessories include equipment for extra loading capacity like silo, hopper type silo, stock hopper, elevator as well as a X-Y table for X and Y adjustment.
This helps in fine adjustment to accommodate the various sizes of components plus is useful while dressing of the grinding machine wheel.
Depending upon the size of the components and the loading capacity required, either of Model 160, Model 250, Model 250 EV, Model 400, Model 400 HD and Model 630 are used.
The linear vibrator is chosen between Model Elscint I, Elscint II and Elscint IV.
Elscint can offer a concept to commissioning service for this type of equipment, in which Elscint design and builds a system after carrying out a feasibility study.
Elscint's engineers can even run the system for two days for the user before commissioning.
