Manually put the handle in the upper mold center position which is fixed by the magnet, the loading mechanical arm quit after delivery the upper cap to the mould center position, the oil cylinder falling drives the upper mould and handle press the upper cap in position, the automatic working program starts, the center mould workpiece rotates, three welding torch feeding in at the same time, automatic arc welding. After finish, the oil cylinder resets, and the workpiece rises in place, the unloading mechanical arm enters into the mold center to clamp the upper cap and put on the middle conveyor, then transfer to the assembly & spot welding machine.
Equip with No.7 hydraulic station, vane pump, 5.5KW. Setting pressure: pressing 4MPa, rising 9MPa.

E. Automatic joggling machine

The machine is used for lower cap trimming, joggling and outer polishing. Main shaft 5,5KW, polishing motor 1.5KW.

The machine uses four-column hydraulic presser structure, PLC control, loading/unloading by mechanical arm, motor drives the center mold rotation, the top oil cylinder drive the deflectable upper presser clamp the workpiece, the hydraulic system drives the outer blade feeding in, and do lower cap rotating and joggling. Fter joggling, the outer blade reset, and main oil cylinder drives the slider reset, the support pallet rises the lower cap in place. The unloading mechanical arm enters into the mold center to remove the workpiece to the middle conveyor, then transfer to the bottom base welding machine. The inner/outer blade uses high wear-resistant high toughness die steel material, long working life.
