Kistler is including the NCFC electromechanical becoming a member of module to its portfolio, offering a answer for clinching and riveting packages, and in addition for meeting and becoming a member of processes that require force-displacement tracking.
The NCFC calls for little set up area, so weight and middle of gravity design are optimised – in particular for robotic arm packages.
Clinching (often referred to as press-joining) is a good and dependable becoming a member of procedure this is turning into increasingly more horny to commercial producers as it calls for no further elements, akin to rivets or bolts. And in contrast to drilling or welding, clinching does no longer generate any warmth enter. Clinching calls for much less calories and upkeep effort than spot welding; relying at the subject material and procedure, the energy values of clinched joints are ceaselessly equivalent or every so often even upper, and the processes may also be managed with better ease and accuracy.
Kistler items in cooperation with BTM the electromechanical becoming a member of module this is in particular optimised to fulfill the necessities of the clinching procedure. The mix of Kistler generation with BTM’s software expertise in clinch tooling and pliers permits shoppers to take pleasure in a servo press according to state of the art generation that gives high-precision, energy-efficient section becoming a member of with confident high quality. Because of the compact light-weight design, the servo press is perfect to be used on robots and desk bound or cell portals. The design permits quick distances between workstations (small middle distance) and the servo press is speedy and simple to maintain. Visualisation, keep an eye on and documentation with the confirmed maXYmos NC procedure tracking machine does no longer require an extra commercial PC. Total, the brand new NCFC electromechanical becoming a member of module permits for progressed high quality and decrease intake of sources, in addition to lowering CO2 emissions in comparison to standard programs.
BTM’s experience performed a key section within the cooperation partnership with Kistler, offering a answer for patrons to modify to electromechanical clinching. An electromechanically operated clinching machine provides vital calories financial savings as in comparison to pneumatic or pneumohydraulic choices. On this answer, the servo press is managed by way of the confirmed maXYmos NC procedure tracking machine from Kistler. With steady force-displacement tracking by way of the built-in sensor, positions may also be approached reliably, flexibly and at excessive velocity; the answer additionally contains an extra traverse mode with safely decreased velocity. The machine guarantees keep an eye on and transparency for every person manufacturing step always; deflection reimbursement for the mounting bracket additionally permits very exact surroundings of the residual base thickness (as the standard feature).
The brand new NCFC (2163A) becoming a member of module from Kistler can be presented in two variations with nominal becoming a member of forces of 55 kN and 80 kN respectively. In addition to the robotic arm software, the NCFC servo press may also be operated as a desk bound model or as a part of an entire clinching machine from BTM. Clinching delivers advantages in step with key commercial tendencies: useful resource and effort potency, transparency, and automation – in addition to probabilities for becoming a member of elements made of various fabrics. Given those benefits, electromechanical becoming a member of programs are set to look vital expansion in sectors akin to electric engineering, white items, refrigeration and air-con generation. The sector’s mechanical engineers and producers may use the clinch answer from BTM and Kistler to spice up the industrial potency, high quality and transparency in their meeting processes – and the digitalisation of clinching marks every other step alongside the street to Business 4.0.
