FUSION CAN BE EQUIPPED WITH 4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF MAGAZINES:

HIGH SINGLE LEVEL, has a single loading plane of 235mm positioned at guide channel height that is automatically adjusted to the process bar diameter by PLC. To guarantee operator safety, the high single level is protected by the front loader door which, when opened by means of a safety hinge, inhibits dangerous movements. MULTI-LEVEL 3 LEVELS, has 3 300mm load levels positioned one above the other from ground to channel height and are managed by a micro switch to detect the bar and determine any empty levels. The bar diameter is adjusted manually by the operator using a micro metric screw. To guarantee operator safety, the multi-level 3-level is protected by barriers which, if interrupted, inhibit dangerous load lifter movements leaving the bar loading area free and accessible to the operator. LOW SINGLE LEVEL comes in three versions of 300-500-700mm load floor capacity positioned at a height between 500mm and 900mm from the ground according to the channel height. The single level is managed by a micro switch to detect the bar, bar diameter is adjusted manually by the operator through a micro metric screw. To guarantee operator safety, the low single level is protected by barriers which, if interrupted, inhibit dangerous load lifter movements leaving the bar loading area free and accessible to the operator. BUNDLE, has a load capacity of 2000Kg and a bar storage area of ​​400x400mm. It allows you to load the bundle of bars that comes from the ironworks then, through the motorised polyurethane belts, separate the bars individually to feed the loader. The bar diameter is adjusted manually by the operator through a micro metric screw, it is a system suitable for large mass production. To guarantee operator safety, the bundle is protected by barriers which, if interrupted, inhibit dangerous load lifter and motorised belt movements leaving the bar loading area free and accessible to the operator.

AUTOMATIC MANAGEMENT

The FUSION bar feeder is completely managed by a touch screen PLC interacting with a Brushless motor and a digital pneumatic valves system which controls speed, thrust and all
the automations. From the PLC the operator can shift from one diameter to another one IN 60 SECONDS, simply entering the intended diameter on the keyboard.

FUSION CAN BE EQUIPPED WITH 3 DIFFERENT TYPES OF LATHE LOADER INTERFACES:

STANDARD TUBE: direct interface between loader and lathe, covered in polyurethane material of the maximum passage of the loader bar; EXTERNAL BUSHING D.20 MM: An auxiliary bushing to process small diameters can be applied to the loader upon customer request. The mechanism is automatically activated for all machined diameters less than 20mm and provides additional bar support between lathe and loader ADJUSTABLE BUSHING: an mmXmm bushing, automatically adjustable by PLC, can be applied upon customer request to support bars of various diameters between the lathe and loader, to stabilise bar rotation in those lathes that have a spindle line inside the lathe body.

DRIVE SYSTEM

FUSION doesn’t require the spindle liner, but it’s anyway equipped with a rail system that enables axial 600 mm (23.62”) or radial 600 mm (23.62”) displacement (alternative option), helping the lathe servicing.

ADJUSTABLE GUIDE CHANNEL

FUSION has an entirely adjustable mm X mm bar guide channel, through the PLC keyboard (Top Automazioni Patent). The guide channel is made of Vulkollan plastic material, in which the bars rotate in an oil bath.

BUSHING FOR HEXAGONAL BAR PROCESSING

For customers who need to work large quantities of hexagonal bars, it is possible to mount the special hexagon bushing, which guarantees an even firmer grip, thanks to the precise round section on the diameter of the hexagon.

SEGMENT MANAGEMENT

FUSION offers two different remnant managements:
1) Rear extraction performed by means of a self centering extractor
2) Front ejection

LANCE SYSTEM

FUSION has a retractable lance that allows you to maintain reduced measurements on the total length of the loader by hooking it to the cover during bar change. The lance has a front rotor where the elastic bar clamp is mounted and allows rotation at the same rpm as the lathe spindle. Its length houses rotary brass bushings that allow it not to seize inside the lathe spindle

ELECTRIC PANEL / INTERFACE

FUSION includes an electrical system entirely designed and assembled in Top Automazioni with high quality brands such as: Phoenix, Eaton, Esa, Siboni. TOP AUTOMAZIONI includes any interface required by the lathe on its loaders wired to the specifications of the lathe manufacturers such as: 24-pole interface, profibus interface, ethercat interface, modular multipolar interface.

SEGMENT UNLOADING

FUSION has a segment unloader on the back of the magazine where they are collected in a 200x200x850 tank.

OIL PUMP AND FILTER

For guide channel lubrication, FUSION includes a gear pump with a capacity of 20 litres connected to a 90 micron filter that cleans the oil before putting it into circulation in the hydraulic system. The filter is easily reachable to perform periodic cleaning, which is indicated by a vacuum gauge indicator.
