Modular automation for ink jet coding
Not all coding applications can be met by an ink jet printer in isolation. More often than not, an automation system is required.
Making this application possible is new software which has been integrated into the standard control package.
This allows any new Werner multi-axis system to accept the screwdriver option which basically comprises a programmable stepper motor and end-effecter.
In line with the Werner modular concept, owners of existing Werner systems can also take advantage of this new option.
This additional software is also available as a control module together with the necessary drive elements.
The Werner screwdriver can be programmed through the screw cycle to provide optimum ramp up and ramp down speed to suit the application concerned.
Start, running and tightening torque can also be selected to accommodate friction and resistance.
By tailoring the operation parameters to the task, damage to the thread or part through over-zealous screwdriving, is effectively eliminated.
