CAsing field: assembly of frames for concealed sliding doors0 pages

Casing field: automatic assembly of frames for concealed sliding doors The winning partnership between FIAM and MBL Solutions has developed a new technologically advanced solution to obtain an average productivity of about 250/300 sliding door frames per shift. We planned a machine able to process any different type of frames: standard lengths (from 600 up to 1.200 mm) and two different heights (2.100 and 2.200mm). The innovative systems we developed permit to automate the tightening process in the end cycle of the frames assembling process with depth and torque control of all self-drilling screws in a variable quantity from 40 up to 50 screws for each frame. Working cycle includes  1st working station: manual loading of the frames the workpiece jigs, positioned on the turntable, are equipped with a built-in mechanical/electrical unlocking system to permit the use of different jigs according to the shape of the frame to be processed. Օ Rotation of the turntable the frames are moved to the second station where automatic assembling phases take place.  2nd working cycle: automatic assembly of the frames the first and second metal sheets are assembled by means of tightenings with self-drilling screws. The assembly time in this station is 2,5 minutes. Օ Rotation of the turntable manual unloading of the assembled components: while assembling in the second station, the operator in the first station unloads the assembled components and so on.
