Improved parts handling for molders.Several new developments in parts handling will be shown this month at the NPE NPE NullPointerException (Java) NPE Network Processing Engine NPE National Policy on Education NPE National Plastics Exposition NPE Natural Penis Enlargement NPE Nutrition Program for the Elderly show in Chicago by Harvard Factory Automation (HFA HFA Harvard Film Archive (Harvard University) HFA Harry Fox Agency, Inc. HFA Housing Finance Agency (District of Columbia government) HFA Hyogo Framework for Action HFA High-Functioning Autism ), Harvard, Ill. * Box-fill systems: HFA previously built only heavy-duty systems for payloads of 1000 lb or more. Now HFA also offers a new lightweight system with a rotary table A rotary table is a precision work positioning device used in metalworking. It enables the operator to drill or cut work at exact intervals around a fixed (usually horizontal or vertical) axis. , designed for the low mass of most plastic parts. Besides the rotary, HFA also has new over-under and parallel box-fill systems. They use a new electric lift and transfer instead of the older pneumatic system. Powered roller zones are now standard instead of a belt conveyor to queue up Verb 1. queue up - form a queue, form a line, stand in line; "Customers lined up in front of the store" queue, line up stand, stand up - be standing; be upright; "We had to stand for the entire performance!" empty boxes or totes. Fill-by-weight systems come standard with a digital scale. * Rotary worktable: It has a direct center drive instead of the older "flywheel" design and a durable UHMW-PE UHMW-PE Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene table surface. * U-Slide: Now commercial after a period of testing, this U-shaped plastic slide channels parts after they drop from the mold. Mounted on a guide-rail assembly that attaches to the frame of the press, it replaces homemade "cardboard-and-duct-tape" solutions. Tel: (815) 943-1195 * PTDirect: 277QH [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
