Pallet loading increases laser welding efficiency

A Newport Spectra-Physics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 31, 2002

A pallet loading workstation has been designed to enable the pre-placement of packaging components onto a proprietary palletized tooling system prior to laser welding

The PL4200 Pallet Loading workstation increases machine and factory throughput by segmenting processes and running them in parallel with the AMS4200-P or AW4200 laser welding workstations.

The PL4200 is a standalone system that increases production efficiency by enabling the pre-placement of packaging components onto a proprietary PT (Palletized Tooling) system prior to loading.

Simple pushbutton controls lead the operator through the pallet loading and fiber insertion sequence for fast, error-free operation.

A high-magnification video system enables heads-up visualization and reduces operator dependency.

The workstation offers ample storage and staging workspace to provide convenient access to components during the loading process.

Pallet magazines handle up to 8 complete pallets for secure, easy transport to the assembly workstation.

All docking and tooling platforms are interchangeable to handle different package designs.

The PL4200, when used in conjunction with the AMS4200-P or AW4200, displaces cycle time by minimizing the manual loading process.

The result is a reduction in part handling and improving workstation utilization.

Key Features: Ergonomic design and high-magnification video monitor reduces operator fatigue and enables fast, accurate pre-placement of assembly components; Pushbutton pneumatic control of pallet gripper and fiber tweezers; Quick-load docking platform; Convenient component staging and storage workspace; Ergonomic workbench design.

Key Benefits: * Reduced cycle time * Increase yield: reduced parts handling; protects device and components * Increased throughput * Improves overall process efficiency.
