Machine Category: FULLY AUTOMATIC
Our Powder Loading machines usually
consists of several stations which are around a servo driven rotary table. Among
these many individual stations is the Press Station which consolidates powder
to a specific height and force. These press stations have barricades attached
to them to keep the powder in for operator safety. Below is a picture of one
of the most recent powder loaders we have designed and built. This machine
includes two press stations, a load station, unload
station, three height test stations, a part color verification station,
resistance stations as well as a Thermal Transient Test station. The powder
shown and specified here takes the place of two machines (Ignition Powder
Loader and Output Powder Loader) Both Caps and Headers are loaded onto one
rotary table and are assembled at the Ultrasonic weld station. The final
product is unloaded off of the machine.
We also have built the ignition and output process’ into separate machines or on the same machine but with 2 rotary tables.
This machine features the unique Servo compression technology. The powder press device is software selectable between the conventional pneumatic cylinder which compacts the powder to a set height, or precision servo drive which compacts the powder to an exact force.
