Extrusion International 3-2024-USA

43 Extrusion International 3/2024 steps in the entire production and supply chain. The key to this is its sophisticated functionality: After a single profile bar has been cut off from the extrusion strand, it is guided into the machine in a controlled manner via a roller conveyor. The turning unit rotates it up to 180 de- grees if needed. A pusher then moves the profile to the side onto the supporting arms (intermediate storage). This process is repeated until a layer of profiles has been completed on the supporting arms - the width of the layer corresponds to the width of the rack. Afterwards, the two gripper units pick up the entire layer, the sup- porting arms are swiveled out to the side and the pro- files are placed in the rack. The gripper and supporting arms are lifted back to their original position to pick up the next layer of profiles. In this way, the transport rack is automatically filled layer by layer. Features and technical details • The profile length is set by manually positioning the gripper units and ranges from 4,500 to 6,500 mm. Op- tionally, an automatic length adjustment can be imple- mented and stored in the recipe, which allows a mini- mum profile length of 3,100 mm. • The variable positioning of the gripper unit on both the inlet and outlet side makes it possible to place the profiles in a freely selectable position in the rack. • The transport rack is fed in, centered and pushed out automatically. • A non-visible infrared light grid not only supplies the necessary safety by permanently monitoring both the operating and outlet side, but also offers the best pos- sible accessibility. • The machine control is embedded in Exelliq's prov- en DIGI.CONTROL, which seamlessly integrates the iQ STACK into the connected extrusion line. Options • Automatic insertion of separating strips (made of plastic or cardboard, length 630 to 700 mm, width 120 to 200 mm) • Weighing of each profile bar • Length measurement of each profile bar • Optical quality control using a camera (gasket applied, film in the correct position, inner walls correspond to a reference image, ...) • Scrap is automatically pushed to the non-operator side • Ergonomic control panel on height-adjustable arm • Remote maintenance via Webcam • Service contract Exelliq Austria GmbH Friedrich-Schiedel-Str. 1, 4542 Nußbach, Austria www.exelliq.com Seamless integration into the connected extrusion line with the proven DIGI.CONTROL
