The machine had to operate without field maintenance.
It also had to cater for a wide range of bin sizes to accommodate a range of product shapes, sizes and weights.
It had to have guaranteed product delivery and operate effectively at temperatures of -24 to -29C.
These requirements placed considerable importance on the bearing selection for the robotic pick and place module.
The designers selected the Spyraflo FSSD-250 self-clinching, self-aligning, stainless steel housed, Delrin bearing.
The clinching capability ensures the bearings are securely mounted in the sheet steel chassis, while the self-aligning capability allows the most economic material and machining solutions to be used.
At the same time the bearings guaranteed long life and fast and consistent performance.
