RT100
Robotic Operator
 
  
 

A NEW GENERATION OF "ALTERNATIVE LABOR FORCE" FOR YOUR CLAMP CARRIER

Fifty percent faster than its predecessors, the ROBOTIC OPERATOR - model RT100 marks the advent of a new generation of smooth running Clamp Carrier Automation Systems. The RT100 will allow you to boost the productivity of your panel assembly operation while keeping your labor cost under control.

The RT100 has been redesigned from the ground up. It includes the most advanced design features for precision assembly, flawless task execution and utmost dependability. It is available as a modular upgrade on your existing clamp carrier or as part of a new Doucet SRH or SRX Clamp Carrier.

 

25 INNOVATIVE FEATURES AND CHARACTERISTICS

     
The fastest robotic
operator on the market
tightens 6 clamps along a 8 foot raceway, rotates to the next section and loosens the 6 clamps on the next section in less than 35 seconds
More power features a 10 HP hydraulic power unit
Faster carriage up to 160 feet per minute roving carriage
Faster pistol up to 500 rpm tightening / loosening pistol
Smoother carriage operation acceleration / deceleration by proportional flow control valve
Smoother clamp rotation section indexing by a proportional flow control valve
Improved homing accuracy zero backlash rack and pinion carriage drive with interactive positioning control
Compliant tightening pistol rubber mount on floating axis, extends butterfly nut life cycle
Improved structural rigidity truss style offers improved load bearing capacity

Automatic Overhead Loosener
 
  
 

 

The Overhead Loosener automatically loosens the clamps holding the panels in the section above the carrier's workstation while the operator lays-up, flattens and tightens the next panels. The system also indexes the carrier forward automatically. That approach enables
you to retain total control over the flattening and tightening of your panels, while reducing the time devoted to gluing panels up to 30%.

 

SPECIFICATIONS - DE

DESIGN
Modular design for easy integration onto new or existing DOUCET SRH Clamp Carriers
DESCRIPTION
A 5 H.P. power unit complete with a 7 g.p.m. pump and adjustable flow control valves
for single operator – workstation systems
A 7.5 H.P. power unit complete with a 10 g.p.m. pump and adjustable flow control valves
for dual operator – workstation systems
An electrical control panel with the system’s programmable controller
A motorized bi-directional carriage mounted on an overhead
raceway one section above the carrier’s workstation, including:
- a self-centering, self-engaging hydraulically motorized loosening tool
- a pneumatic retractable overhead rest to support the clamps during loosening
- sensors detecting the location of each clamp and the presence of a panel to be released
For a higher production requirements, the carrier's workstation is
equipped with two operator workstations, including two hydraulic
tightening tools and two pneumatic panel flatteners
OPERATION
The automatic routine includes indexing the carrier to the next available section then,
loosening clamps, by-passing clamps without panels as the carriage travels to its standby position.
The automatic mode is complemented by action keys initiating part or all of the sub-routines
in manual mode
Programmable adjustment of the clamp's front to rear opening (on carriers with standard clamps only)
