Atlas Technologies has introduced the Multi-Vac conveyor stacking system, developed to meet the needs of companies that process steel and aluminum for the automotive industry. “We believe that the use of aluminum for auto-body construction will increase over a substantial transitional period,” says Bill Rogner, Atlas Technologies director of sales. “The Multi-Vac system provides a means for high-speed blanking of steel and aluminum
with a single-design sheet piler, operating under identical parameters.”
The conveyor system can be configured like traditional steel-only magnetic pilers. It can provide single, double or triple stacking stations as well as a reject and inspection station. Material thickness can range from 0.6 to 3.2 mm for steel and aluminum. And, it is equipped to accommodate contoured, waffle-edge, trapezoid, square and rectangle blanks. Operating speed is blank dependent, but small, simple blanks can
Hilma's new Flexline rapid-clamping system is designed to automatically clamp various-sized dies on the press slide. The system's modular design makes it suitable for most presses and die sizes, and it’s ideal for retrofit or new press installation, single machines or automation of entire press lines.
run at 80 strokes/min.
Minimum blank-size requirement: 300 mm long and 400 mm wide. Among key features: • Slow and drop piling mode offers reduced blank-edge impact while piling at high
production rates;
The Flexline system uses motor-driven
• Use of multiple vacuum pumps-- pumps not used for narrow parts are shut off, saving energy;
• Drop-zone control is provided on 300-mm increments; and
