Heavy load positioning
December 1st 2011 For car body assembly applications
in the automobile industry, rotary
table specialist Fibro has
developed a
modular
heavy-load
positioning
table that
positions large
and heavy parts or
equipment quickly and precisely.
Available through Expert Tooling
& Automation, the maintenance-free
Fibromat, which is lubricated for life,
is driven by spur gear toothing and
equipped with pneumatic indexing
upon request. In contrast to
conventional positioning tables with
a cylinder cam, the gearbox of the
Fibromat is not self-inhibiting so
that the force is not transferred to
the cam in case of a sudden power
failure or emergency stop.
Damage to the
mechanical system
of the rotary
table is thus
not
possible. In
addition, the table does
not swing open during positioning,
even with superstructures on the
table top. More articles from Verlinde Lifting Equipment: |
