Product catalog summary

Overview: The document is a technical catalogue from GÜDEL Inc., detailing their automation systems for presses. It emphasizes the integration of innovative mechanics with modern control and servo technologies, ensuring high performance in terms of dynamics and payloads.

Specifications: The catalogue outlines various transfer systems such as ETR, GullWing, and WB, each designed for specific applications and press configurations. Key features include servo-driven axes, automatic tooling, and compatibility with high-speed shuttles for tandem lines.

ETR Series: This flexible transfer system is available in multiple sizes and versions, designed for high payloads and short cycle times. It features user-friendly programming and can be installed in various orientations to suit customer needs.

GullWing System: A modular transfer system ideal for presses with smaller windows. It offers maximum flexibility and can be mounted externally to optimize table width usage. It supports both conventional and crossbar transfer modes.

WB Transfer Systems: Based on a modular concept, these systems are available in single, double, and long pitch versions, catering to different application requirements. They offer maximum flexibility with programmable moving axes.

Performance Data: The document includes detailed performance tables for each system, specifying parameters such as payload, pitch, and cycle numbers.

Conclusion: GÜDEL's systems are built with proven technologies and in-house manufacturing, ensuring they meet high demands for dynamics and payloads in press automation.

Product Overview: The document discusses various systems and components used in press automation, focusing on the smooth transfer of blanks, stacking systems, gripper systems, and control systems. It highlights the modular and flexible design of these systems, which can be adapted to specific production requirements.

Blank Transfer Systems: The BDS blank loaders are available in multiple versions to accommodate different part spectrums. The systems range from classic centering units to those with automatically adjustable stops, suitable for 2D and 3D transfer systems.

Centering Station BCS/TL: This modular centering station is designed for use with various feeder transfer systems like roboBeam and roboFeeder. Its modular structure allows for configuration based on requirements such as blank size and production performance.

Finished Parts Stacking Systems: Due to increased output from modern press systems, stacking systems must also increase capacity. Güdel offers a wide range of robots and modules that allow for efficient use of space and optimal adaptation to customer needs. The systems are designed to integrate with Güdel transfer and feeder systems.

Transfer Gripper Systems: The gripper systems are crucial for the process flow, ensuring reliable gripping and quick changeovers. Different gripper systems are used depending on the application, with passive and active grippers for rail systems and vacuum suction grippers for crossbar systems. Quick changeover systems and integrated parts monitoring are emphasized.

Control Systems: Güdel's control systems have been developed over 10 years, focusing on modular and open architectures with ergonomic interfaces. The systems use a PC real-time core for high performance and support remote maintenance. The control philosophy remains consistent across all Güdel systems, simplifying communication and integration with press manufacturers worldwide.

Control System Architecture Overview: This document outlines various applications of control system architectures in the automotive and appliance industries, focusing on automation solutions for press lines and part handling systems.

Application 1: Automatic Stacking of Large Body Parts: Automates the stacking of large, unstable outer body shells onto special load carriers at the end of a press line, including the insertion of interlayer strips for protection.

Application 2: Door Interior Part Handling: Reduces forklift traffic and increases press utilization by automating the exchange of transport racks.

Application 3: Washing Machine Part Handling: Handles parts through a press line for washing machine components, ensuring efficient transfer without intermediate storage.

Application 4: Tandem and Single Press Operations: Operates two 2500 T presses as tandem or single units, managing part transfer efficiently.

Application 5: Structural Part Manufacturing: Manufactures structural parts on a 1500 T press with limited space between columns.

Application 6: Large Automotive Part Production: Automates a press line for large automotive parts, ensuring continuous operation without intermediate stops.

Conveyor System Overview: Describes a conveyor system with four single presses for manufacturing large automobile parts, accommodating a maximum blank size of 4300mm x 2000mm. Parts are directly transferred between presses over a 7.2m distance without intermediate stops, operating in a continuous stroke mode at up to 12 strokes per minute.

Press Line Solution: The press line is electronically synchronized with a mutual angle offset of approximately 30° depending on the stroke. The Güdel crossbar-system roboBeam RBS facilitates part transfer, allowing acceleration up to 30m/s² and speeds up to 8m/s. Continuous operation reduces load on the press's coupling/braking unit, and tooling changes are automated.

Automation Task: Involves automating the stacking, loading, unloading, and restacking of longitudinal supports for bending, punching, and forming operations.

Automation Solution: A crane loads up to three stacks onto a destacking carrier for uninterrupted production. Two GÜDEL roboFlex robots handle the blanks, placing them in the press, while two other robots remove and stack the punched parts. Full carriers move to unloading positions, and empty ones return to loading positions.

Mechanical Transfer System Task: Involves replacing a mechanical transfer system on a dual slide press to increase production by 50% to 12 strokes per minute, with a travel distance of 2700mm and a total transfer unit length of 17,700mm.

Mechanical Transfer Solution: Blanks are managed by a centering unit with a WB-0/DLP walking beam system. In the Long Pitch version, crossbars are moved on rails by a carriage, with stroke movements executed over 17m using three Z-axes. Crossbar changes are automatic, with storage mounts on bolster carriages.

Contact Information: GÜdel's contact details in Switzerland and the USA are provided for further inquiries.
