50 percent lighter, 20 percent more dynamic and energy efficient: Schuler unveils the new generation of press automation
Schuler's Crossbar Robots are used to transfer parts from one stage of a press line to the next: they can remove up to four parts at a time from the die, change their orientation where necessary, and place them directly into the next die. Under the motto "Connect for success!", Schuler today unveiled the fourth generation - the Crossbar Robot 4.0 - at its facility in Gemmingen, Germany.
Besides its revolutionary and functional design, the most striking development is probably the robot's improved performance: "The Crossbar Robot 4.0 can convey up to 15 parts per minute and is thus faster than ever," stresses Schuler Managing Director Lothar Fischer. "Together with the Crossbar Feeder for the automation of servo press lines, we are setting new standards in terms of speed." The easy-to-program Crossbar Robot is ideal for automating conventional mechanical and hydraulic press lines - also for loading and unloading - as well as for retrofitting existing lines.
A modified drive system with two motors and new transmission has significantly boosted the Crossbar Robot's speed - and halved its weight: making the "artificial arm" some 20 percent more dynamic. The maximum load (including tooling), however, has remained unchanged at 90 kilograms. Thanks to an innovative energy management system with integrated energy recovery, the robot's energy efficiency has also improved by 20 percent.
Guest speaker Reiner Calmund: "Passion for Success"
Schuler unveiled the Crossbar Robot 4.0 at its new "Automation TechCenter" in Gemmingen, where customers were able to get a first impression of the company's latest innovation. Open throughout the year, the new test facility enables the simulation of processes based on customer specifications - from the distance between presses, to die layout, to slide movement. The Schuler Group was able to engage the services of international soccer expert Reiner Calmund for the opening event: his talk was titled "Expertise and Passion for Success".
As the Crossbar Robot is mounted overhead on a track suspended from the ceiling, it can cover distances between presses of up to ten meters. Such large gaps are typical for older lines which need space for an intermediate station - something not required by the Crossbar Robot as it can change the part's orientation either in the air or in the die. "This not only replaces two former devices and increases the space for maintenance in the press gap, but also significantly increases the line's output performance," summarizes Lothar Fischer.
The Crossbar Robot is based on a six-axis industrial robot, to which Schuler's engineers have added a further two axes. These represent the hand of the robot arm and the horizontal drive, thus greatly increasing maneuverability, flexibility and output. And thanks to its process data interface, the new Crossbar Robot is already well prepared for the Industry 4.0 era. Its intelligent networking capabilities turn it into an analysis tool which can monitor processes and report any errors which may occur. The Crossbar Robot 4.0 therefore plays a decisive role in securing high and consistent productivity - forming an ideal bridge into the future for press lines.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
