Goals achieved

• High productivity (1 product every 8 seconds).
• Machine has a central rotating table with 10 spindles (with 2 working days) for the management of cylindrical bodies and 7 peripheral stations (with 2 working days), for assembling the mica components.
• Only one operator to load the cylindrical body on the machine and to unload the assembled product.
• Monitoring of the insertion force of the mica part.
• Each station has a buffer for the mica parts; buffers can be replaced during the machine’s operating cycle.
• Tracking of the assembly operations of each single component.
• Auto-reset of the loading stations if the mica component is blocked.
• According to Industry 4.0 and IoT, the information in the database can be accessed remotely for production analysis. Also the line operating status is viewable remotely.
• Database query within the corporate network for production analysis.
• HMI: interface developed ad hoc for application with synoptic chart of the line.
• Overall dimensions 1,4m x 1,4m x 2,5m.
