AIC's new application to compact and bind coils
The machine has the function of tying multicoils for screw production lines. The coils are loaded via forklift onto the horizontal compactor, compacted and tied. The plant is designed for coils with wire diameters from 5.5 mm to 55 mm.
The plant includes a coil dimensional control system, a weighing system, and a spray-paint marking system for visual product identification. An automatic traceability system for the welded joint, a laser for marking the binding wire and an exhausted coil recognition system are also integrated.
The work is performed on a turnkey basis, with complete engineering, construction, mechanical and electrical parts; transport, installation, assembly and start-up of the system are also included. AIC also provides the safety part, guaranteeing a CE-marked supply.
AIC also develops fully automatic man-machine interface packages that allow the recognition of the forklift by using RFID, fully integrated within a Safety package that allows both in the loading and unloading phase the complete control of material flows through the operator panel installed inside the forklift. This system allows in the future to manage the storage of coils in an automatic warehouse using AGVs. A robot is planned to be installed with a metal analyzer that will enable integrated quality control processes that will allow high standards to be achieved.
The system allows to improve production performance, in fact a complete loading and unloading cycle reaches 2.5 minutes and allows to process coils from 1 ton up to 5 tons. Specifically, the minimum and maximum external dimensions are 1200 mm and 1600 mm in diameter respectively, and the internal dimensions are 800 mm minimum and 1000 mm maximum.
The wire size the machine can handle starts from 5.5 mm and goes up to 55 mm. The system has an adjustable compaction force of 10 to 40 tons. The compactor uses 7 mm wire to bind the hanks, and the compactor is also equipped with a scrap collection system. The system is fully automatic and ensures easy maintenance and a scratch-free process.
The maintenance of the machine is facilitated by the manual where all necessary and recommended activities are specified, and there is also a dedicated page on the supervisor for each tying head to keep track of the cycles remaining for the raplacement of components.
