Tightening machine with turntable

Product catalog summary

Overview: Fiam has developed a tightening machine with a turntable for the automatic assembly of valves on gas ramps of various sizes. This system is designed for household appliances, specifically gas barbecue cookers, and can handle ramps accommodating 1 to 4 valves.

Assembly Process:

Manual Loading: Valves and ramps are manually placed on a jig designed for various ramp types.
Automatic Assembly: The turntable moves components to the next station for automatic valve assembly using two screws.
Component Feeding: Metal cradles and screws are automatically fed, with a custom feeding unit to enhance production rates.
Tightening Mechanism: Two screws are tightened using 15MC5 nutrunner motors with air shut-off, installed on a dual-movement slide with an offset device for precise alignment.
Torque and Depth Check: Torque is monitored by a transducer, and screw depth is checked by a sensor to ensure correct assembly.

Testing and Quality Assurance:

Gas Tightness Test: If assembly is successful, a micro-leak test is conducted to ensure the gaskets provide a perfect seal.
Custom Test Station: The test station is tailored to accommodate different train formats with varying inlet fittings.

Advantages:

High Efficiency: The system can assemble 4 complete valves in 18 seconds, including testing.
Waste Reduction: Fast and accurate assembly reduces non-conforming products.
Reliability: The solution is fully designed and tested by Fiam to ensure optimal performance.

Final Steps: Assembled ramps are manually unloaded after testing.

Fiam have designed and manufactured a tightening machine with turntable to handle the automatic assembly of valves on gas ramps (of various kinds) by means of two screws on a mtal cradle. The solution involves manual component loading, automatic assembly oprations, testing and manual unloading of assembled components. The solution is designed to ensure both that assembly is performed according to set torque parameters and that the resulting ramp is gas tight (and hence that the gaskets of the assembled valves provide a perfect seat) through final testing (micro-leak test). The solution can assemble various gas ramp models, which can accommodate anything between 1 and 4 valves. Particul驪r of and joint Gas ramps to be assembled with valves Tightening urvt with turntable
