WASHING AND PAINTING REMOVAL INSTALLATION FOR PARABOLAS-HOLDER PALLETS IN BMC

The Customer: Market leader in the world for the production of car optical groups. The Machine has been installed in one of its numerous plants, in the Czech Republic.
Pieces to treat: parabolas-holder pallets in BMC
Requirements: ecological system easy to manage with absence of residual particles.
Installation peculiarities: innovative use of high pressure in the painting removal of pallets intended to the transport of cars' light parabolas to the painting units.
The new solution, which utilizes high pressure till 2500 bar, replaces the traditional sandblasting system. In comparison with this last one, which left dusty residual particles, the new one allows pallets to go out from treatment suitable for being utilized in line.
Characteristics: it is a washing installation with continuous flow and equipped with special bar conveyor. In the zones submitted to painting removal, the water jet is addressed on pieces by means of special nozzles installed on rotating disks with controlled movement (1200 revolutions per minute). The machines runs with only water with no additives, and it does not cause any residual particle to eliminate, except for the detached paint. .
Dimensions: 13.000 x 5500 x 3000

FLOWCOATING PAINTING MACHINE FOR POLYCARBONATE LENSES AND BMC SATELLITE DISHES

The customer: a company of past glories, famous for having given Timisoara electric lighting at the same time as Paris at the beginning of the last century.
Production: BMC satellite dishes and polycarbonate lenses.
The requirements: an initial low productivity (240 pieces an hour) and great flexibility.
The innovative machine proposed by Tecnofirma: this is a flowcoating painting machine that allows painting the lenses and the satellite dishes on the same line, an excellent alternative to two separate machines. In one hour the production can be changed from lenses to satellite dishes and vice versa, equipping separate two flow coatings.

Total dimensions of the machine: 23000x15000x2600

SAT - ROTATING TABLE PLANT FOR ENGINE OVERHEADS AND UNDERBLOCKS

A sophisticated evolution of rotating table machines, which had already been successful on the market:
An engineering solution developed by Tecnofirma to allow precision washing with alternative systems to the traditional transfer.

The piece is placed on a rotating wheel, which moves forward by a step by step motion in such a way as to guarantee absolute accuracy in positioning, and passes through different steps (positioned washing, positioned blowing, drying) to return to the departure station, where it is unloaded by the same operator (or automatism) in charge of loading.

The cycle is totally conceived with cold working and guarantees drying of the details without altering their surface temperature, in order to allow checking dimensions immediately after unloading.

Compared to the traditional precision washing plants (transfer systems), the features of the satellite plant are:

  • reduced size
  • loading and unloading in the same position
  • easy automation of loading and unloading
  • easy re-fitting
  • lower cost

By its very nature, the SAT plant is highly suitable for those contexts where production is organized in islands.

The plant in the photograph has been conceived for the final washing of aluminium overheads and washing cast iron engine underblocks. The rate of production is approximately 1 piece per minute.
The plant has a self-cleaning filtering system, a washing solution cooling system and a fume reduction system.

Thanks to the perfect positioning of the details in the individual stations, the rotating table washing plant is highly suitable for the insertion of high pressure deburring stations.


LUNAR 3C-HP : THE LANDING OF ROBOTICS IN THE INDUSTRIAL DEBURRING WITH HIGH PRESSURE WASHING (500-600 bar)
  • Conforming to the trend of the last years, the most recent statistical data report that the main workings carried out by robots installed in 1999 continue to be welding (29%), assembling (20%) and handling (12,5%)
  • May 2001: Tecnofirma opens to robotics a new field, the deburring with high pressure washing.

This is the main characteristic of the new washing line Lunar 3C-HP : the introduction of a robot, who is able to operate an high precision deburring, due to the penetration of the nozzle in every dead hole and porosity of the piece to treat, removing in this way every working burr. It is a really true success of the research which fascinates everyone who is accustomed to observe the different industrial washing processes of the last decades.

How is born the idea of using a robot in a deburring line?
The robotized deburring station is an answer to the customers' needs in this field.
The necessity has always been double: the exigence to remove burrs with the highest precision, together with the necessity of treating different pieces of small dimensions.
Simultaneous demand of flexibility and precision, therefore very difficult to fulfil at the same time.
This means that, in order to offer an high precision cleaning, it was necessary to design tailor-made machines for the pieces, machines that were born and died with the specific piece. The use of the robot gives the possibility to offer flexibility and precision at the same time.
One single washing and deburring line assures the highest precision and flexibility to a large variety of different profiles

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS:

    Flexibility
    Precision
    Low consumption
    Modularity

  • Production capacity:one pallet each 30 seconds onwards, according the pieces to treat
  • Dimensions of pallet: 550 x 400 mm
  • Maximum dimensions of pieces: 500 x 300 x 200 mm
  • Possibility to treat from 1 to 7 different pieces at the same time
  • Working cycle:
    • manual/automatic load
    • general washing in average pressure
    • robotized washing with high pressure (0-600 athmospheres)
    • robotized blowing with compressed air
    • drying with high static head with recirculated air (or in alternative in vacuum)
    • pallet accumulation
    • manual/automatic discharge

The Machine is complete of:

1. Solution treatment and filtering system
2. Solution conditioning system
3. Oil separating system
4. High pressure pump system
5. 2nd level diagnostic
