Machine of DV1 DV2 type
The machine is used for fitting quick-connectors and other machine-fitted components onto PA cables.
Intended use
The machine is capable of working with flaring (inserting and removing the hose from the flaring mandrel, which has a specific shape designed to increase the hose’s diameter). Prior to the assembly stage, hoses can optionally be heated using the flaring mandrel in conjunction with the HOT-PIN heating system.
Description of operation
- Placing the PA cable, sleeve and quick-connect fitting into the socket,
- preliminary closure of the workpiece clamp and colour check of the fitted sleeve;
- pressing the two-hand control buttons;
- automatic closing of the workpiece clamp;
- crimping of the PA hose – hot crimping option available;
- inserting the quick-connect coupling into the PA hose;
- return of the machine to the home position;
- automatic release of the workpiece;
- removal of the finished workpiece from the machine.
Machine design
DRIVING MODULES
Two independent cylinders for driving quick-connect fittings. Ability to adjust the operating pressure of the cylinders – thereby adjusting the driving force of the quick-connect fittings.
FLARING
A specially profiled mandrel used to increase the tube diameter prior to fitting the quick-connect coupling. The mandrel features built-in heaters and, optionally, the HOT-PIN heating system can be utilised. Temperature control and the flaring operation mode can be set via the 7-inch HMI display.
OPERATOR PANEL
The 7-inch display allows the selection of the appropriate reference, process preview and control of individual machine movements. The operator has complete freedom in selecting the programme and operating parameters of the machine. From the HMI, it is possible to set individual operating modes for each module, the heating temperature, the de-flashing mode, the HOT-PIN system mode, the adjustable actuator stroke mode, the sleeve colour control mode, and the driving tool control mode.
CONSTRUCTION
The welded steel structure is designed to accommodate all modules as well as electrical and pneumatic equipment. The working section comprises workpiece sockets, clamping modules, driving modules and component feeders
Benefits for the customer / user
- elimination of human error and simplification of the assembly process. The use of colour sensors eliminates the risk of fitting the wrong sleeve for the selected cable model;
- a wide range of settings and options available to the operator via the HMI panel;
- the ability to mechanically adjust the height and insertion stroke;
- interchangeable sockets and insertion tools.
