HIGH CAPACITY FEEDER
VERICAL FEEDER
FEEDER FOR 3D LASER CUTTING SYSTEMS


Apiel builds 3 different feeders that differ in storage capacity and the type of work carried out on the bars. The main features are:


AUTOMATIC PROFILED BAR FEEDERS ALIPRO6000


Profiled bar feeders for saw and presses

The charger for profiles, ALIPRO6000, is used with saws or presses, to cut strongly asymmetric profiles (typically extruded aluminum). These profiles are used to windows and vents for air conditioning. The charger is built in three distinct versions, with and without a pallet changer and fins. The profiles that can be processed can be divided into two types: stacked profiles and profiles that are not stacked.



Profiles for the frames of the vents
The profiles are stacked when they make the batteries straight These profiles are stored in magazines specially designed for the profile. In these cases we can achieve a total capacity up to 800 meters. The right photo above represents the profiles can be stacked.
Profile frame and fin for air vents

The profiles are stacked (right photo below, left profile) are inserted in media alone, without reaching high storage sizes. The wing's (photo below right profile right) are stacked alternately. In order to be processed is used a particular model of machine.



Setting and positioning of the profile

The photo on the left and the right to represent the interior design of machinery and the section thereof. The machine shown has a pallet changer. The grip of the bar is made with the suction cups. The profile bar is carried on a feed system that feeds the machine tool used for cutting.








Loader with pallet changer for cutting profiles

The vacuum coupling profiles are moved by a set of three axes of motion with induction motors and inverter, with encoder feedback. The machine is controlled by an Omron PLC. The operator interface uses a panel 7 ". The profile is placed after being hooked on the progress line.












Miter saw for cutting frames for ventilation.

The progress bar is obtained by means of a pair of pliers: a mobile and a fixed caliper. The movable clamp is driven by a brushless servo motor. The transmission is made with a screw ball. The clip runs on the guides with recirculating spheres. The cutting precision is 5 / 100 mm.






Automatic advance of the profile to the saw for cutting

From the control panel you can define the length of each piece in which the rod is to be divided. This allows maximum reduction of waste. The length of cut has neither a minimum nor a maximum length.










AUTOMATIC VERICAL FEEDER

VERICAL FEEDER

The machine consists of the vertical warehouse for the bars, the load roller and the Group feed bar in the works. The load roller conveyor facilitates insertion of the bars in the magazine. The loader has a capacity of 20 bars and is suitable for bars full section or sections with different sections. A motorized roller to transport the bars protruding from the magazine or group of moving forward with clamps, create the movement of feeding to the cutting machine.

The load roller conveyor has a series of supports for the support of the tow bars. The operator removes a bar from the beam, and then leaves the bar on the rollers. The support beam and rollers are the same height of 900 mm. The single bar is manually inserted into the magazine that will complement the advance until full insertion.







VERICAL FEEDER

The warehouse receives the bar from the loading side. The load mode is selected by the operator panel; the operator inserts the bars from the loading side and are invoked by a motorized roller. Complete the insertion, the bar is raised from 6 supports and the motorized roller conveyor is free to receive a new bar to load. The storage capacity is saturated when all the supports are filled with bars. The output of the bars is achieved by lowering the supports up to release the rod on the motorized roller. Starting the movement of the conveyor, the bar is expelled to the outside.

At the exit of the charger you can have a motorized roller to reach the machine used for processing. If you must make a accurate feed of the bar inside the cutting machine, a feed gripper group, lock on the bar. A fixed caliper and one mobile, driven by a servomotor, they will realize the advancements set on the operator panel of the machine.

The output conveyor can be equipped with an accessory that allows the bar to be placed in rotation during processing.

FEEDER FOR 3D LASER CUTTING SYSTEMS

Feeder for 3D laser enslavement
Feeder for 3D laser enslavement

This machine is designed to work bars of different sections, with a 3D laser. The 3D laser is a laser fiber optic with the cutting head installed on the wrist of a anthropomorphic robot. The charger allows you to place the bar to work in the operational area of the laser. The charger has two operating modes:

In the first mode of work, the bar is fed in the work of the laser; completed processing, the footage is cut from the rest of the bar. In the second mode, the bar has the length of the finished piece; completed processing, the bar is repositioned on the finished parts warehouse. The essential components of the machine are:
