Ligmatech Case Clamp Machine

AUTOMATIC, THROUGH FEED CASE CLAMP THAT CAN BE USED AS A STAND-ALONE UNIT OR INTEGRATED INTO AN ASSEMBLY LINE.

PHOTOCELLS AT THE INFEED OF THE CASE CLAMP DETECT THE HEIGHT AND LENGTH OF EACH CASE. THE CASE MOVES TO THE END OF THE CASE CLAMP WHERE THE MIDDLE AND BOTTOM HORIZONTAL PRESSURE PADS ARE LOWERED ALREADY INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE POSITIONS. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE CENTER FRAME WITH ONE SET OF HORIZONTAL PRESSURE PADS ADJUSTS ITS POSITION AUTOMATICALLY ACCORDING THE LENGTH OF THE CABINET.

ONCE IN POSITION, THE MIDDLE AND BOTTOM PRESSURE PADS ARE LOWERED INTO THEIR POSITIONS ALSO. THE TOP PRESSURE PADS ARE LINKED TO THE VERTICAL PRESSURE PLATEN. NOW HORIZONTAL PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE CASE. AS SOON AS THE HORIZONTAL PRESSURE IS APPLIED, THE VERTICAL PRESSURE PLATEN APPLIES PRESSURE FROM THE TOP. AS SOON AS THE CLAMPING CYCLE IS COMPLETE, THE HORIZONTAL PRESSURE PADS ARE RAISED AND THE CASE EXITS THE CLAMP.

MAXIMUM CASE LENGTH: 2500MM (98?) MAXIMUM CASE DEPTH: 1000MM (39-1/2?) MAXIMUM CASE HEIGHT: 1220MM (48?) MINIMUM CASE LENGTH: 300MM (11-13/16?) MINIMUM CASE DEPTH: 300MM (11-13/16?) MINIMUM CASE HEIGHT: 300MM (11-13/16?)

VERTICAL PRESSURE PLATEN: THE VERTICAL PRESSURE PLATEN IS DRIVEN BY (3) PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS. IT EXTENDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE WORKING AREA. WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE, THE FIRST CYLINDER IS DEACTIVATED TO ENSURE THAT PRESSURE IS APPLIED EVENLY ON SMALLER CASES.

HORIZONTAL PRESSURE PADS: THE MPP 100 IS EQUIPPED WITH (2) SETS OF (3) EACH HORIZONTAL PRESSURE PADS. THE PRESSURE PADS ARE RAISED AND LOWERED BY PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS. THE HORIZONTAL PRESSURE PADS THAT TRAVEL WITH THE CENTER FRAME ARE EQUIPPED WITH PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS. THE TOP PRESSURE PADS ARE LINKED TO THE VERTICAL PRESSURE PLATEN. THE CENTER PRESSURE PADS CAN BE ADJUSTED IN THEIR POSITIONS BY MOVING MECHANICAL STOPS. THE MECHANICAL STOPS ARE ACTIVATED BY PUSH BUTTON. THE PNEUMATIC CYLINDER OF THE CENTER PRESSURE PAD CAN BE DEACTIVATED BY SELECTION SWITCH.

BELT CONVEYOR: THE BELT CONVEYOR MOVES EACH CASE THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE CASE CLAMP. THE CONVEYOR BELT IS MADE OF A NON-SLIP MATERIAL. AN ENCODER DETERMINES THE TRAVEL DISTANCE BASED ON THE INPUT BY THE PHOTOCELLS AT THE INFEED OF THE CASE CLAMP.

LIGHT BARRIER: A LIGHT BARRIER IS MOUNTED TO THE FRONT OF THE CASE CLAMP. IF THE BARRIER IS INTERRUPTED, THE PRESS CYCLE IS STOPPED. HOWEVER, THE VERTICAL PRESSURE PLATEN AND THE PRESSURE PADS REMAIN IN THEIR POSITIONS. ACTIVATING A PUSH BUTTON SIGNALS THE CASE CLAMP TO CONTINUE THE PRESS CYCLE. IT ALLOWS THE OPERATOR TO WORK ON THE CASE WHILE IT IS INSIDE THE CASE CLAMP.

CONTROL: THE MPP 100 IS EQUIPPED WITH THE HOMATIC NC CONTROL. THE NC CONTROLLER NOT ONLY FUNCTIONS AS A PLC, BUT IT ALLOWS SIMPLE PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONS ALSO. THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT CAN BE PROGRAMMED: 1. PRESS CYCLE TIME 2. HORIZONTAL PRESSURE ONLY 3. VERTICAL PRESSURE ONLY 4. SIMULTANEOUS PRESSURE 5. ANY DELAY IN THE APPLICATION OF PRESSURE THE CONTROL CAN ALSO KEEP TRACK OF PRODUCTION RELATED ITEMS SUCH AS THE NUMBER OF CASES CLAMPED.

MACHINE REQUIREMENTS: OPERATING VOLTAGE: 230/460V, 3PH, 60HZ AMPERAGE SERVICE: 6.52 AMPS @ 460V CONTROL VOLTAGE: 24 VOLT TOTAL CONNECT LOAD: 3KW PNEUMATICS ? VERTICAL: MAX. 17KN HORIZONTAL: MAX. 16KN MACHINE LENGTH: 5600MM (18-1/4?) MACHINE WIDTH: 1650MM (65?) MACHINE HEIGHT (INCLUDING CYLINDERS): 3700MM (12?) CONVEYOR LENGTH AT INFEED: 1250MM (49-1/4?) CONVEYOR HEIGHT: 500MM (19-3/4?) MACHINE WEIGHT: 400 KGS (8800 LBS.) COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION SIZE: ID 13MM (1/2? ? OD 19MM (3/4?) PRESSURE REQUIRED: 70-110 PSI ? 5-8 BAR CONSUMPTION / VOLUME: 120 I/MIN. ? 4.24 CFM AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OPERATING RANGE: 5? - 35? C (MIN/MAX) ? 41? - 85?F (MIN/MAX) FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS ? CONCRETE THICKNESS: 175MM (MIN.)

BENEFITS: SOLID, ONE PIECE STEEL FRAME ENSURES SQUARENESS AND LONGEVITY OF CASE CLAMP OPERATOR IS NOT REQUIRED BECAUSE OF AUTOMATIC SET UP AUTOMATIC SET UP ALLOWS ASSEMBLY OF DIFFERENT CASES ONE AFTER THE OTHER.

CONTROL PANEL ON SWIVELING ARM: ALLOWS EASIER ACCESS OF THE CONTROL PANEL FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

EXTENDED BELT CONVEYOR: THE BELT CONVEYOR CAN BE LENGTHENED FROM 1250MM (49-1/4?) AT THE INFEED TO 2700MM (106-1/4?) IT ALLOWS THE INFEED AREA TO BE USED AS A PRE-ASSEMBLY AREA IT LENGTHENS THE OVERALL MACHINE LENGTH TO 7050MM (23?)

PNEUMATIC RAISING OF LOWER PRESSURE PADS: THE BOTTOM HORIZONTAL PRESSURE PADS CAN BE RAISED BY PUSH BUTTON TO ACCOMMODATE CASES WITH I.E. TOW KICKS.

REAR SIDE LIGHT BARRIER: LIGHT BARRIER TIED IN WITH THE CONTROLS OF THE MACHINE. AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS DOWN THE MACHINE WHEN BARRIER IS BROKEN FOR OPERATION AT THE FRONT AND AT THE REAR SIDE OF THE MACHINE.
