Shear-Form Machine Tools is the sole UK representative for Swiss metalworking equipment manufacturer Jorns AG, who has introduced a new series of bending machines.
Coil feeder NC system eliminates feeding loop
An exciting concept in flexible, NC, high speed coil feeding eliminates the need for any feeding loop from the coil so that the feeding line is only 4m long.
It performs a 3s automatic tool change.
The press also has the following features.
* Four (MAS) Modular Autofeed Systems.
* The latest shuttle tooling platform for a 2 min tooling set-up for any fastener type.
* Overall tool clearance has been increased to 140mm.
* Ram speed has been doubled to give a 2s operation cycle.
The press also has a single platform for feeding and inserting nuts, studs, standoffs, custom fasteners.
A self-piercing rivet capability is now provided as standard on all Haeger insertion presses.
Other new features as standard include a high vacuum for tool clamping, upper vacuum tip system with positive locking, laser part locating light, whilst robot integration with off-line robotic programming is an option available as a turnkey solution.
* Software improvements - expanded software capabilities include InsertionLogic Version 9 with InsertionGraphics, networking capability between the OneTouch and a PC or network, off-line programming software allowing writing of programs on a PC without the need to stop the press.
There is also an improved fastener library.
InsertionGraphics provide the user with a visual guide throughout the insertion process.
Part images can be displayed on the computer touch screen with each fastener position on the part being shown as a flashing dot, thereby virtually eliminating a fastener being missed or being insertion in the wrong position.
As part of the equipment's quality control package, Haeger provides each press with a digital camera and interface, allowing the user to take images of parts and import them or images from other sources into a part program.
