Machine base speeds automatic assembly lines

Veloline is the new linear machine base which has the capability to dramatically increase production rates for automatic assembly of component parts up to 10kg.

Veloline is the new linear machine base which has the capability to dramatically increase production rates for automatic assembly of component parts up to 10kg.

Cycle rates can be up to 100 products per minute, with smooth acceleration and deceleration motion profile.

Proven in applications throughout mainland Europe, which include the assembly of pharmaceutical disposables, plastic mouldings and electrical/mechanical sub-assemblies (including connectors for the automotive industry), Veloline is now available in the UK and Ireland through Precision Motion (Cofil), complete with full engineering support.

The unique, patented design of Veloline effectively makes current methods of precision linear transfer obsolete.

Instead of using 'chain' links (pallets) which are finely machined, but inevitably are very expensive to manufacture and result in accumulation errors the further you move from the drive cam, Veloline uses positioning cams (in addition to the drive cam) only at those stations which require very high accuracy.

This concept results in higher accuracy and lower cost.

At those stations where a positioning cam is present, the accuracy of position of the pallet will be to within +/-0.02mm.

At all other stations, accuracy will be to within +/-0.2mm.

Veloline is available with standard index strokes of 50, 100 and 200mm.

In order to load/unload components onto the conveyor, it is possible to extend various drive-shafts to run rotary or linear pick and place units from Colombo Filippetti's extensive range, in perfect synchronisation, resulting in a very simple control system.
