The DS1100 Tray Handler uses an over/under conveyor design with a cartesian overhead robot. These units can be configured with multiple head tooling for cycle times of less than 1 sec/part. This system can also be configured as tray loaders or unloaders. Other operations, such as reorientation, inspection, and assembly, can be performed inside our machine frame.

 A push button operator interface that can be upgraded to a full PC based touch screen is standard on the DS1100. (see options)

 The standard DS1100 uses an integrated motion/logic controller.
Key Benefits:
Can accommodate virtually any tray for automatic parts feeding.
bullet Requires minimum floor space.
bullet Extends queue times.
bullet Includes AC servo robot.
bullet Can be configured for clean room environments.

Sequence of Operation:
bullet Stack of trays loaded on lower conveyor.
bullet Lower conveyor indexes trays to elevator.
bullet Elevator raises top tray and locks in position.
bullet Robot empties or fills tray.
bullet Completed tray is transferred to restack station
bullet Top conveyor indexes trays to rear of machine.
bullet Stacks of trays are removed from top conveyor.

The DS1200 is designed to handle heavier parts. It can accommodate nearly any automated parts-feeding tray on carts, dollies or "side by side" roller conveyors. Parts can be unloaded from one work cell, easily transferred to another cell, and loaded into production without manual lifting.
Key Benefits:
bullet Handles heavy parts.
bullet Unlimited queue as a parts accumulator.
bullet Eliminates ergonomic lifting hazards.
bullet Uses floor space efficiently.
bullet Can accommodate other operations.

Sequence of Operation:
bullet Cart with trays is loaded into bay 1.
bullet Empty cart is loaded into bay 2.
bullet Top tray in bay 1 indexes up, locks in position.
bullet Robot empties or fills tops trays.
bullet Completed tray is transferred to bay 2 elevator.
bullet Tray is lowered to empty cart.
The DS1200-MTL provides an accurate, reliable alternative to costly conveyor automation and tedious operator tending. This compact system, which is compatible with most machine tools, uses robotic technology to load and unload machine tools. Its secondary operations capability allows this system to function as a versatile workcell.
Key Benefits:
bullet MTL loads directly to the machine tool spindle, collect, chuck or fixture. No need for a secondary loader.
bullet Loads as quickly as 4.20 seconds.
bullet Dual grippers remove "green" parts and place "machined" part into trays or racks.
bullet Stacks racks on carts or dollies.
bullet Purge cycle clean, fast and simple.
bullet Secondary operations bay can include wash, inspect, gauge, mark and vision all in one unit!
bullet Able to track parts.
bullet All-inclusive HMI provides error handling, machine videos and all documentation.
bullet Eliminates operator machine tending.
bullet Unit can continue to feed parts as operators reload trays.
bullet Provides hours of part queue in extremely small space.
bullet Allows for efficient, ergonomic product flow without conveyors.
bullet Available as double ended unit to feed two machine tools with one unit.
Sequence of Operation:
bullet Operator places cart with "green" parts in trays stacked up to 36" high in bay 1, empty cart in bay 2.
bullet Bay 1 elevator lifts top tray up to tray dawgs and locks it in place.
bullet DS1200-MTL robot removes green part from tray with Gripper "A".
bullet Robot waits by machine tool for finished machine part.
bullet With machining complete, Gripper "B" removes machine part, Gripper "A" places "green" part.
bullet While machining center is cutting part, DS1200-MTL robot transfers machined part to secondary
operations bay.
bullet With secondary ops complete, finished part is returned to tray.
bullet Tray transfer slide picks tray full of finished parts and transfers it to bay 2.
bullet Full tray of finished parts is lowered onto cart in bay 2.
bullet With cart full in bay 2, operators replace carts.
bullet NOTE: At any time, operators can replace carts without stopping machine loading process.
