Automated foaming line for high-production applications. (RIM/Urethanes).


A new highly automated turnkey polyurethane foaming Noun 1. polyurethane foam - a foam made by adding water to polyurethane plastics

 line is designed for high-production applications requiring mold-handling conveyors. The first such system from Linden/EMB, Akron, Ohio Akron is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Summit County.GR6 The municipality is located in northeastern Ohio on the Cuyahoga River between Cleveland to the north and Canton to the south, approximately 60 miles (96 km) west of , was developed for molding auto seat cushions. Designed to handle 2400 mold carts per 8-hr shift, the PC-controlled system can be quickly modified to handle single-or dual-density materials and different shot sizes and shot timing. With the addition of servo An electromechanical device that uses feedback to provide precise starts and stops for such functions as the motors on a tape drive or the moving of an access arm on a disk.  orifices, the system reportedly can accomplish a 4:1 throughput change in 0.5 sec.

The heart of the system is the company's new Innovator four-stream, high-pressure metering machine with dual-density foaming capabilities. The oval racetrack conveyor system is 130 ft long and carries 32 mold carts and 32 mold carriers at speeds from 10 to 40 ft/min. Each mold carrier has computer-controlled temperature, opening and closing sequences, and curing time In the annealing procedure could be divided into 3 stages:heating to a particular temperature, keeping for a period of time and cooling to room temperature. The curing time is the hold time of the 2nd stage. . A Fanuc six-axis robot is integrated with the line to dispense the foam.
