Review of the trade fair K'07: Movement in the punching technology with flexible solutions
The flexible production was the focus of SONOTRONIC at this K trade fair. Latest robotic technology in conjunction with highly developed ultrasonic devices attracted numerous national and international visitors to the booth.
Flexible ultrasonic punching: Robot cell with the patented ultrasonic punching system
The interested visitors were given a precise idea of the promising, highly flexible new solutions by our trade fair team: The visitors could see a simulation of an operating process in a robot cell where bumpers were punched with the SONOTRONIC ultrasonic punching system. The big advantage of this flexible system is the possibility to process different bumpers in the same robot cell applying optionally hole punchings for parking sensors, for headlight cleaning systems, for side markers or for simply functional holes. Besides the punching applications, this flexible system can be extended with gluing systems for the respective dog clips of PDC, SRA or SM.
The application of these flexible systems is not
limited to low quantities of different bumpers.
Besides autarc cells, SONOTRONIC has also successfully realized big sized
projects, allowing to process different bumpers in mid-sized and big-sized
productions. Thanks to the robot cell in our booth, the fair visitors had the
possibility to get important and promising impressions of the new flexible
solutions.
In addition, on the K trade fair, SONOTRONIC exhibited the actual custom-made machine range including the classic ultrasonic punching with a fully automatic special machine, performing extremely short cycle times for high volume production lines. We will be present also on the next trade fair as machine producers, as know-how provider and as engineering service provider in the field of plastics technology.
