Omega III MCR Spin WelderSpin
welders offer a simple approach to assembling cylindrical components quickly and
cost-effectively. Microprocessor control increases overall weld and production
quality. During spin welding, one part half is held stationary
in a holding fixture while a second part half is rotated against it, under pressure,
at speeds from 1,000 to 16,000 rpm. Friction causes the joining edges to melt
and fuse together, producing a strong hermatic seal. Cycle times are short,typically
in the rangeof3-6 seconds. Spin welders are easily fitted with
rotary tables (optional) for integration into production lines. For special applications,
Plastic Assembly Systems also offersahorizontal spin welder and orienting spin
welder. - Microprocessor
control: allows programming of weld parameters and several quality management
features. Increases overall weld and production quality.
- Air
motor with roller bearing design: allows a full range of speeds up to 16,000 rpm
for flexibility to handle the widest variety of applications.
- Tachometer:
provides rotational speed input to microprocessor. Increases consistency of the
weld cycle.
- Adjustable stroke velocity: for the vertical
speed of the welding head. Allows more precise control for sensitive applications.
- Modular design: controller is a separate unit,
allowing a variety of system configurations.
- Rigid column:
extruded design offers strength and rigidity without extra weight.
- Improves
weld quality and repeatability.
- Encoder: sends detailed feedback
to microprocessor to control head stroke.
- 3-step cycle: spin-up,
head-down, and cooling are separatelymonitored and controlled.
- Spin-up:
allows spin driver to reach pre-set rotation speed for proper welding.
- Head-down:
upper tooling moves downward until the part halves make contact and the part is
welded.
- Cooling: pressure is maintained on the part after
circular-welding motion has ceased. Allows thermoplastic material to solidify,
ensuring the optimum seal.
- Wired for auto/semi automatic
operation: for direct plug in of automatic options such as a rotary table. Allows
existing welder to be easily upgraded.
- Dual start buttons:
Ensure safety. Operator must depress dual control buttons to activate welder.
- Auto-learning:
senses height of a welded part during set-up to use as a baseline for controlling
weld parameters.
- Hand grips on base: for easy movement
of the welder.
- Control windows: can be independently programmed to monitor rotation
speed, head stroke speed, and final part height.
- Production
Counters: monitor production rates and number of rejects. Can be reset after each
shift or any preferred length of time.
- External signal control:
operation can be controlled from an external source for integration in automatic
production lines (requires optional Sub-D connector).
- Electronic brake: recommended
on applications under 1” (25mm) in diameter. Allows tooling to be stopped
quickly to prevent over-welding small applications. Can be controlled by height
or speed.
- 5-program storage: memorizes
five sets of welding parameters. Allows rapid changeover between welding applications.
- Printer
output: weld results can be downloaded to a printer via a RS232 port.
- Rotary
Table: increases through-put by allowing the operator to load and unload parts
while welding operation is taking place on other parts. (450mm / 6 nests standard)
- Zero
force start buttons: side mounted, ergonomically designed start buttons for ease
of operation.
- Parts eject arm: for
automatic removal of parts.
- Surge
tank: to ensure adequate and consistent air pressure.
- Spin
motors: 2 different speed motors available; 4,800 & 16,000 RPM
