More productivity and hygiene in lines of production Geka with CNC Fagor
23 January 2012
Big part of the world-wide metallic production does nowadays by means of mature technologies that hardly have miscellaneous in the time. However, the vitality of these technologies reflects in the development of automatic lines of production with capacities of production and hygiene every time greater. The initiative and the attitude emprendedora of small workshops have done that the needs have evolved from basic solutions of automation based in pneumatics systems, relays and electrovalves —that repeated simple individual actions (for example advance, punzonado)— until arriving to numerical controls advanced, like the CNC 8070 of Fagor, that allow no only realise actions more complex, but increase the flexibility of all the line of production allowing permutar the pieces to manufacture and, like consequence, the tools to use in each program, modify the routes and activate / desactivar processes of the line of production. Pioneers in the development of this type of machines, Geka follows adapting to the new times and to the new needs. The solutions CNC of the Gipuzkoan company for the processed automatic of angles conjugan his long experience in the area of the punzonado and cizallado with the most advanced electronic.
For those customers that require to process a big volume of angular of fast and effective form optimising costs, Geka has of several solutions depending on the needs of each case. The constructors of metal structures, of towers of transmission of electricity and telecommunications, towers in general, sticks for catenaries, as well as any structure that require of a big volume of angular will see in these solutions a big ally for his business.
The purpose of these solutions is to solve the needs of punzonado, marked and cutting of form totally automated and in an alone process for the angular. Of this form, obtains in an alone step the final product, already cut, marked and punzonado, increasing the productivity and efficiency notably, at the same time that reducing cost obtaining an advantage in front of his competitors.
In the process of a piece produce continuously processes of acceleration-positioning-deceleración so much of material as of tools. In fact, it is important to indicate that the systems have developed with the mission to displace pieces of high inertia (wheel rims 1.900 kilos, angular profiles of 570 kilos) to speeds between 12 and 36 m/min and precisions of positioning of +/-0,1 to +/-0,25 millimetres. In definite, treats to control several axles of high dynamics with distinct principles of action, combining automation advanced and integrating interfaces with the components of hygiene.
For the control of all the axles, actuators and the systems of manoeuvre of the most complex lines, Geka Automation integrates numerical controls CNC 8070 developed by Fagor Automation. The collaboration with Fagor Automation has allowed to develop for each one of the lines an interface of amicable control for the user, with possibility to inspect the state of the distinct sensors and define easily the size / position of each tool. The flexibility of the control has seen reflected in the design of new modules for the machines.
However, the productivity does not have to be the main appearance to consider in the systems of production of the metallic sector. In fact, the hygiene is really the first appearance to consider in the development of new models.
The designs of Geka observe the distinct situations of danger jointly with the actions of usual production in the machine. The combination of devices of hygiene with the provision that offer CNC like the CNC 8070 of Fagor, allows to optimise the balance between productivity and hygiene, even in operations very simple.
