Automatic Machine for Press Fitting Connector Assembly
- Compatible with straight, elbow, and T-shaped fittings
- Throughput, up to 3,000 ends/hour for straight and angled fittings. Up to 2,250 ends/hour for T-shaped fittings
- Quick format changeover
Fully automated solution for the assembly of “press fitting” connectors (straight, elbow, T-shaped), designed to handle fittings with pipes of various sizes. The machine operates via a multi-station rotary table, dual operating sectors, and integrated control modules to ensure maximum productivity, repeatability, and adaptability to multiple configurations.
Multi-Format Automatic Assembly
Our assembly systems provide exceptional versatility through multi-format automatic assembly capabilities, specifically engineered to handle straight, elbow, and T-shaped fittings within. This high-speed assembly line delivers impressive throughput rates, reaching up to 3,000 ends per hour for straight and angled fittings, while maintaining a steady output of 2,250 ends per hour for complex T-shaped components. To maximize uptime in high-volume environments, this assembly system is designed for quick format changeovers, allowing operators to transition between different fitting geometries with minimal delay.
Integrated Quality Control
Quality assurance is woven into every stage of the assembly process through a sophisticated suite of integrated monitoring tools. High-precision vision sensors provide real-time verification of O-ring presence, while pressing operations are monitored by linear transducers to ensure every component is seated with absolute accuracy. Furthermore, advanced geometry recognition technology identifies the specific orientation and type of each component, preventing assembly errors before they occur.
Advanced Robotic Technology
This assembly system leverages cutting-edge robotic integration to achieve superior precision and speed. High-speed SCARA robots manage the delicate task of O-ring assembly on both ends of the fitting, while brushless electric actuators provide smooth, programmable control for the insertion of sleeves and rings. For full product traceability, the system also features an integrated 3D laser marking station, allowing for permanent and precise identification of parts directly within the assembly cycle.
Maximum Flexibility and Modularity
Built on a foundation of modularity, this system consists of automated multi-station units with individually selectable modules that can be configured to meet specific production needs. The design features advanced fixture rotation of up to 180°, which provides the necessary clearance and access for the complex assembly of angled and T-shaped connectors. This modular architecture ensures that the equipment can adapt to evolving product designs and varying manufacturing requirements.
Component Feeding
To ensure a continuous workflow, all components are delivered via high-efficiency circular and linear vibratory feeders. We prioritize the working environment by housing these feeders in specialized noise-reducing enclosures, significantly lowering the decibel levels on the factory floor. Additionally, the feeding system is equipped with quick-emptying mechanisms, which streamline the cleaning and reloading process during production changeovers to maintain peak operational efficiency.
Operator Interface and Software
The system is controlled via an intuitive touchscreen panel that serves as a comprehensive hub for machine management and data. Operators can monitor real-time line status, view detailed alarm displays, and utilize machine stop diagnostics to troubleshoot issues instantly. The software tracks granular production statistics—including good parts, rejects, overall efficiency, and station-specific errors—and is fully prepared for Industry 4.0 environments with seamless ERP system connectivity.
High Performance
Engineered for market-leading speeds, our assembly lines deliver rapid cycle times across a variety of fitting types. Straight and elbow connectors reach a maximum output of 3,000 pieces per hour with a swift 2.4-second cycle time. For T-shaped connectors, the system utilizes a dual rotary cycle to achieve 2,250 pieces per hour at 4.8 seconds, while gas-specific fittings are processed at rates up to 2,800 pieces per hour with a 2.8-second cycle time, ensuring your production targets are consistently met
