WAFIOS forming technology is revolutionising the output of finished parts with its new patent pending PTS system, which takes the finished parts directly at the die and guides them through a pipe system out of the machine to the desired location – with good and bad parts carefully separated by a sorting gate.
This process effectively avoids the mixing of parts when changing products, which means the output of position oriented parts is perfect for further processing, as well as parts coming out of the machine virtually oil free – eliminating the need to wash parts before further processing, as well as generating a clean machine environment.
“The PTS system not only extracts the parts, but also the oil mist from the press area. Due to the significantly reduced extraction volumes of the PTS, in most cases, oil mist extraction systems can be designed correspondingly smaller,” mentions WAFIOS Umformtechnik GmbH. “This system often eliminates the need for conveyor belts and related equipment, as well as increasing tool life through the cooling effect.”
WAFIOS’ new HC 4 rotor press type machines can be equipped with this innovative system, as well as existing machines in order to benefit from the advantages in existing production set-ups as well.
