Ergomatic 2000

The charging of the ERGOMATIC 2000 is simple. The SMC-charge is placed on the belt at the back end of the loader. The charging is carried out when the press is closed. The charging height can easily be adjusted by the operator to suit his or her height. This will give an ergonomically correct working position for the operator, who will be relived from awkward fibs into hot tools. The total environment can be improved too, by installing a suction device on the loaders cover to extract the solvent fumes from the SMC charges. After charging the operator has to acknowledge and start the loader by a two-hand switch.

At the start signal the lid over the charging end will close and the loader rises to the preset height. At that position the loader remains on "stand by". During "standby" the operator is free to prepare the next charge or to load another press. When the press opens and is demoulded the signal "load" goes to the loader and the loading table moves into the press for positioning the charge on to the tool. The endless belt remains stationary when the table retracts and the charge drops horisontally on to the tool at the predestinated position. When the press closes the loader sinks to the preprogrammed height, the lid opens and the belt moves to the charging position.

The ERGOMATIC 2000 robot is then ready for the next cycle. Access to the press for tool changing or other maintenance operations is easy as the ERGOMATIC 2000 is mounted on wheels and can easily be pushed away in a few minutes. The space in front of the press required for the ERGOMATIC 2000 is approximately the size of the press platen. The ERGOMATIC 2000 can load charges of any shapes, - high piles, widespread, "window frames" etc.
