Design
Aspects to Consider:
Hoses
vs. Internal Porting… To avoid messy entanglements, look for swivels that have
internal air porting. Units with hoses attached to connecting joints on
the swivel’s exterior are for more likely to cause tube tangles as well
as fatiguing due to repeated bending. The internal air porting featured on
Techno Sommer Units allows the swivel an unencumbered path to production.
Know
Your Load Capacity and Torque Requirements… Choose the right Swivel Unit by
matching the payload requirements for your application with the load
capacity and torque output of an individual unit. Choosing the right size
and model allow you to tap the utmost potential from your investment while
not risking a reduced life-span. Techno Sommer’s Swivel Units range in
load capacity up to 1,500 lbs. and torque output up to 95 ft. lbs. The SF
and SW Series Swivels also come equipped with large, high strength
bearings.
How To Reduce Cycle Times… The more a swivel can dampen the end of a
stroke, the safer and more efficient their cycle times will run. Hydraulic
shock absorbers provide the essential energy absorption needed for
ultra-smooth end damping. With a newly designed built-in shock absorber,
Techno Sommer’s swivels can handle 20% more mass over conventional
models.
When
One Gripper Just Isn’t Enough… Look to the SW Series Angled Swivel Units as a
neat way save precious space but, also to increase productivity. The
angled swivel’s design, provides the distinct advantage of rotating into
place either of two grippers mounted on its face plates. This is useful
for handling of multiple parts or for loading and unloading both the
machined and unmachined parts. This eliminates the need for and space
taken up by a toolchanger while reducing the cycle time and required range
of motion.
