Materials & Handling

Unisig will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of deep hole drilling solutions in booth 339159 at IMTS 2024, Sept. 9 – 14, in Chicago.

Rollomatic moves into automation with innovative robotic systems

The AA3100 series is designed as a drop-in replacement for hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. These legacy approaches waste excess energy and floorspace required for compressors, while adding costly and complex mechanical components. In the case of pneumatics, they can leak and create messes on the plant floor.

The tables can be bolted together to meet varying length requirements. The legs are equipped with leveling pads that can be adjusted independently from 25 inches to 37 inches. The tables' precision machined steel rollers have durable roller ball bearings to make movement fast and easy.

With the synchro-use dual actuators, the two carriages move toward each other when the handle shaft is turned clockwise. The two carriages move away from each other when the handle shaft is turned counterclockwise. As with the standard linear actuators, they can be used with simple manual adjustments without complex processes of parts selection, design and assembly.

QL2 features heavy duty, all steel body – treated with Jergens Mcoat for superior wear resistance and durability even in harsh environments. The system features a floating and opposing clamping wedge assembly (with sealed wedge bodies); an Acme threaded screw for increased strength and long life; O-ring lifters for positive separation of top tooling; and versatile standard mounting options.

The RFID transponders are available as freely writeable and preconfigured versions. A transparent window on the PITreader card enables users to still read the LED status indicator when the card is held up to it. If the company already uses RFID-capable cards, these can also be used in conjunction with PITreader card unit.

How materials and parts are handled can improve productivity.

MH140 fits most machine coolant tanks, and the small footprint – no larger than a standard conveyor – saves valuable floor space. A unique frame design using high-strength materials enables the conveyor to withstand extreme loads, torsional forces and abrasion for trouble-free operation and long life.

The 2700 Medium Duty hits the sweet spot between Dorner's popular low profile 2200 and 3200 heavy duty platforms. While the 2200 conveyor can carry up to 80 pounds, and the 3200 conveyor can support up to 400 pounds, the 2700 Medium Duty is engineered to safely convey up to 150 pounds.

Automation is available to eliminate dull, dirty and dangerous tasks for workers at any size facility.

One of the primary benefits of vibratory feeders in the nut processing industry is the simple and clean construction of the feeder tray. The trays can be easily and quickly wiped down or washed out for product changeover or sanitation protocol.
