EOAT Design and Build Service

Transcription

1 2: EOAT Design and Build Service From the simplest to the most complex EOAT, EMI specializes in designing and building customized End-of-Arm-Tooling Priced Competitively. Get started by sending us a sample part or 3D part file and a completed datasheet (see page 972). Our EOAT engineers will design a tool for you and provide you 3D CAD renderings. We ll also provide pricing for the tool should you want to purchase the completely assembled EOAT from EMI. Whether or not you purchase the tool from EMI, there s no cost or obligation to you for the engineering design service. 62

2 2: Considering Plate-Based EOAT Plate-Based EOAT Profile-based EOAT is great for some applications, but sometimes a lower cost, lighter weight, and easier to assemble option can be used. To suit these needs, EMI also offers plate-based EOAT. Typical plate-based EOAT is laser cut from 1/8", 3/16", or 1/4" aluminum or 12-gauge stainless steel standard materials in our inventory. Shown on the following pages of examples, excess weight is removed by material cutouts. Thinner, lighter material can be strengthened by incorporating reinforcing bends. EMI has laser-cutting machinery in our own manufacturing plant that allows us to make plate-based EOAT fast, accurate, and at a low cost. Call our EOAT engineering department to discuss which is better for your application. Plate-Based EOAT Profile-Based EOAT Cost Lower Cost Higher Cost Weight Lighter Heavier Adjustability Limited Easy Opinion A Opinion B I don t want to be locked into a fixed design. I want the option to tweak and adjust the EOAT easily. I want a profile-based EOAT. The EOAT is designed well and it works. I don t want anyone making adjustments and potentially causing damage. I want a plate-based EOAT. Common Applications Flat parts High number of cavities Deep-core parts Small parts Large parts Insert loading EOAT High-speed molding EOAT for sprue pickers Degating

3 2: Plate Stand-Off Precision stand-offs mount with M5 bolts and optional centering sleeves. Centering sleeves should be used when a tighter tolerance is required. For instance, in insert loading applications and degate operations.

6 2: Clamps for Plate EOAT Application Example Clamps can be used on both front and back of plate

7 2: From Simple EOAT... Flat-Plate tooling is ideal for simple EOAT s. It is lightweight and low cost. As shown, nonessential material can be removed to further reduce weight. 68

8 2:...To Complex EOAT Flat-Plate tooling can also be very useful in complex EOATs. This EOAT utilizes two levels of plates a thick aluminum base plate and a thin stainless part-locating plate

9 2: Vacuum Cup EOAT Threaded-body vacuum cup suspensions are very easy to mount on Flat-Plate EOAT s. Smooth body suspensions can also be mounted using clamps shown on page

10 2: Parallel Gripper EOAT Grippers are also easy to mount on Flat-Plate EOAT s

11 2: EOAT made with Profile Here is an EOAT design using profile-based design. 72

12 2: EOAT made with Laser-Cut Aluminum Here is the same part using a Flat-Plate EOAT design resulting in a lower cost and lighter weight

13 2: EOAT Combining Profile and Laser-Cut Aluminum Combine profile and Flat-Plate construction for an ideal EOAT solution. Here the profile is the base and the flat plate provides the mounting interface for vacuum cups. 74

14 2: EOAT Combining Profile and Laser-Cut Aluminum Here is another example showing the combination of profile and Flat-Plate construction. But here the flat plate is the base and the profile provides the mounting interface for grippers

15 2: Double Panel EOAT keeps Tubing, Wires, and Grippers Enclosed for a Clean and Neat Design Flat Plate EOAT can enclose grippers, tubing, and wires for a very clean, streamlined EOAT. 76

16 2: Single Panel EOAT to keep Tubing and Wires Separate from Gripping Area This Flat Plate EOAT keeps tubing and wires separate and behind the part gripping area

17 2: Use Laser-Cut Aluminum EOAT with Sprue Pickers or Light Payload Robots 78

18 2: Use Laser-Cut Aluminum EOAT with Slides to Reduce Weight and Moment

19 2: 1/4" Thick Laser-Cut Aluminum with Machined Counter Bores 80

20 2: Ideal for Multi Cavity Molds A key advantage of laser-cut Flat Plate tooling for multi cavity molds is precision positioning. It would be very difficult to assure precision positioning using profile and clamps for this EOAT
