Automation Tooling
We offer a comprehensive range of end-of-arm tooling for your pressroom needs. Our pressroom tooling addresses design challenges, particularly where tight spaces are a problem, awkward angle and thanks to their modular configuration can be adapted to different presses and dies. With a wide range of motion and increased speed, our tools enhance overall capacity of any application.
Versa Modular Tooling
The Versa round tooling system consists of high strength tubular steel links coupled with aluminum ball-to-ball clamps which together provide low weight fingers with maximum flexibility rated for 250 ft lb (static) and 100 ft lb (dynamic) loads.
All transfer fingers can be designed from 15 to 20 basic components. They are quickly assembled and provide precise final adjustments, resulting in reduced startup time and offer infinite adjustability with a 90 degree angular offset.
If damage occurs in the press, fingers can be quickly repaired by replacing the damaged component without the need of cutting, bending or welding.
Modular components can be reused when a job reaches the end of its production life cycle. Obsolete transfer fingers are disassembled and the components reused on new tooling designs.
Transforming Tooling
Unlike conventional tooling which is configured to work with a single panel, Transforming Tooling is designed as a system capable of reconfiguring itself to handle all panel sizes and shapes the press line is capable of processing. One set of tools is all you will ever need.
The benefits of Transforming Tooling is that one robotic tool covers any panel the press is specified for. Quick tooling changeover using pre-programmed jobs. Remote adjustment of tool arms – pick points. Intelligent crash mitigation and instant tooling recovery. Reduces need of storage space for tooling.
