The mechanization
equipment of the vulcanizing presses MV 600
serves for loading the blanks and unloading the
vulcanized diaphragms in an automatic cycle.
The basic portion of the
equipment are two travelling manipulators of box type moving on aluminium
sections and of which one serves for loading and the other for unloading.
The two manipulators move during the working cycle in parallel at the front
and rear portion of the vulcanizing presses. Synchronization is obtained by
means of an epicyclic gear with stepping motor and a pair of tooth belts. An
arm provided with eight suction cups slides out from the loading manipulator
and the cups pick the blanks from a magazine arranged in the lower portion
of the manipulator and place then into the mould of the vulcanizing tool. At
the other side of the vulcanizing press travells in synchronism an unloading
manipulator with eight suction cups which serve to unload the diaphragms from
the press and place then into the finished diaphragms
magazine. The operator only
changes the magazine with blanks and vulcanized diaphragms.
The mechanization equipment is controlled by freely
programmable automatic.
