• Retoolable


• Low Maintenance

Each Part Placer may be selected for a

particular application based on the part

geometry and placement requirements.

The Placing Heads are available with

standard placement strokes from 2-inches

(50.8mm) up to 5-inches (127mm) with a

range of pressing forces from 40 pounds

(178N) to 175 pounds (778N) at 90 PSI

(6.3 Bar). Placement rates up to 80 per

minute are obtainable. This feature sets

them apart from basic pick and place units,

which are much slower.

The two-stage transfer escapement used

on both the Model AP-111 and AP-127

Part Placers assures positive insertion of

each piecepart into the placement jaws. The

escapements may be actuated either by a

mechanical linkage or by an air cylinder

depending on the piecepart size and tool-

ing application. A shuttle type escapement

on the Model AP-120 Part Placer also

assures positive insertion of each piece part

into the placement jaws. Each piecepart is

properly placed (or pressed) into the

workpiece with verification sensing.

The maximum piecepart size for the Model

AP-120 with standard tooling is .75-inch

(19mm) diameter, and lengths of 2-inches

(50.8mm). Models AP-111 and AP-127 can

handle piecepart sizes up to 2.5-inches

(64mm) in diameter, and 4-inches (102mm)

in length. Vibratory bowl feeders can be

tooled up to 36 inches (915mm) in

diameter. Vibratory feed systems will have

either cast bowls or stainless steel bowls. As

an option, bowls can be coated for delicate

parts or for sound reduction purposes. An

optional load cell can monitor pressing

force. Control options can be selected to

meet the requirements of each application.

Model SD–122 Screw/Nut Drivers

The Model SD—122 Screw/Nut Driversare designed to drive threaded partshorizontally. Depending upon the geom-etry of the threaded part or fastener, themethod of transferring the part to theplacement jaws from the feeder mayvary considerably. The mounting struc-ture for the feed system and driver mustbe designed accordingly. This mountingstructure can allow the driving head tobe positioned at almost any angle to suitthe customer’s requirements.

The Model SD-122 Screw/Nut Driver isavailable with 2 in. (51mm), 3 in. (76mm),4 in. (1O2mm), and 5 in. (127mm) headstrokes. This Screw/Nut Driver can be furnished with a range of driving speedsand torque capacities using either DCelectric or pneumatic motors. A torqueand depth sensing control verifies whena fastener is properly driven during eachdriving cycle. Torque control settingsrange from 4 inch-lbs. (.5 Nm) to 120inch-lbs. (13.5Nm). Torque accuracy canbe achieved in various ways dependingon the torque requirement and specificdriving application. Mechanical and electrical clutches satisfy a range wide oftorque specifications, in addition to "stall"torque and DC electric torque/angleapplications. Depth settings can be heldto plus or minus two (2) turns with standard tooling. Closer depth tolerancescan be achieved with optional controls.

Fasteners are oriented and fed from avibratory bowl feeder and the bowl sizeis selected to suit the fastener being fed.Bowl sizes can range from 6 inches(153mm) to 36 inches (914mm). Severalbasic options may be used to deliver thethreaded piecepart or fastener to thedriving head’s placement jaws. Eachpiecepart is captivated within the jawsuntil it is properly engaged into theworkpiece. The placement jaws are thenopened mechanically.

Each Part Placer may be selected for a

particular application based on the part

geometry and placement requirements.

The Placing Heads are available with

standard placement strokes from 2-inches

(50.8mm) up to 5-inches (127mm) with a

range of pressing forces from 40 pounds

(178N) to 175 pounds (778N) at 90 PSI

(6.3 Bar). Placement rates up to 80 per

minute are obtainable. This feature sets

them apart from basic pick and place units,

which are much slower.

The two-stage transfer escapement used

on both the Model AP-111 and AP-127

Part Placers assures positive insertion of

each piecepart into the placement jaws. The

escapements may be actuated either by a

mechanical linkage or by an air cylinder

depending on the piecepart size and tool-

ing application. A shuttle type escapement

on the Model AP-120 Part Placer also

assures positive insertion of each piece part

into the placement jaws. Each piecepart is

properly placed (or pressed) into the

workpiece with verification sensing.

The maximum piecepart size for the Model

AP-120 with standard tooling is .75-inch

(19mm) diameter, and lengths of 2-inches

(50.8mm). Models AP-111 and AP-127 can

handle piecepart sizes up to 2.5-inches

(64mm) in diameter, and 4-inches (102mm)

in length. Vibratory bowl feeders can be

tooled up to 36 inches (915mm) in

diameter. Vibratory feed systems will have

either cast bowls or stainless steel bowls. As

an option, bowls can be coated for delicate

parts or for sound reduction purposes. An

optional load cell can monitor pressing

• High cycle rates

• Precise repeatability

• Compact design

• Easy to apply

The Pick and Place AP-360 Models can

achieve placement rates as high as 82

cycles per minute. Cycle rates however, are

effected by payload weights. The placing

head has a unique drive mechanism that is

actuated by an air cylinder. A precision cam

guides the motion linkage that supports

the mounting plate and placement jaws.

The cam controls the pickup and placing

motions. The AP-360 Models are available

in two horizontal stroke lengths. The

dimensions are shown (other side of sheet).

The vertical strokes of each model can be

adjusted to meet variable pickup and

placement heights. An optional support

column allows the placing head to be

adjusted over a 10.25-inch (260mm) work

area. The Model AP-360 Pick and Place Head

can be used in confined work areas due to

the compact design. The Head can also be

used as an excellent means in removing

completed assemblies from a work holding

fixture in an automatic process.
