Pick-and-Place Module for Long Strokes With Short Cycle Times
Weiss has optimized its HP 70 pick-and-place module for long strokes with short cycle times. A flat ribbon cable now protects the pneumatic and signal lines instead of a spiral hose. This allows the unit’s speed and reach capabilities to be fully utilized.
The machine has a maximum speed of 4 meters per second, a maximum acceleration of 40 meters per second squared, and a maximum horizontal stroke of 325 millimeters. In short cycle time applications, high-speed motions exert high loads on the cable connections and cable conduit. A flat ribbon cable is more durable. It combines four pneumatic lines and four signal lines. It is quieter, more stable, and less susceptible to wear. The ribbon cable is available as an option or spare part. Any HP units already in use can be retrofitted with the new cable.
