Manual sash mounting fitting station

Fittings mounting station for the manual mounting of fittings components - FBM 135 / FBK 135.K

The fittings mounting station, designed as a manual working space, is to be set up behind a LEMUTH fittings mounting centre. The manual mounting of the remaining fittings components that have not yet been set on to the preliminary machines takes place on the fittings mounting station.

Production sequence
The fitter places the sash on the assembly table and scans it. The image of the sash is shown on the monitor, and the fittings components to be mounted on the sash are graphically represented around the sash. The exact designation of the fittings, the correct storage compartment and the sequence of mounting the fittings are also displayed.

Then the fitter mounts all fittings in the specified order and cuts the elongated fittings to their correct length. To do this, the NC dog automatically travels to the exact position where the fittings components - after they have been inserted into the punch - are cut to length and the connection holes are embossed.

Configuration of the fittings mounting station
The machinery of the fittings mounting station can be assembled in stages and can therefore be optimally aligned to the requirements of the production line.
The integration of already existing components, for example a cutting-to-length tool or an assembly table, is by all means possible after technical testing.

Fittings assembly table
The fittings assembly table has a wide conveyor belt driven by two just as long rollers. Thanks to the conveyor belt the element can be conveniently transported to the machining position without being damaged by manual shifting. When the element reaches its machining position, it is clamped from the top by a clamping unit.

With the element being clamped in position, the fittings components can be mounted on the frame piece in an optimum way.

Air bed
An air cushion lifting the wood sash is generated under the glass pane by means of air pressure so that the sash can be turned on the table without any problems. The required air is blown under the glass pane through openings in the conveyor belt. The machining position and the size of the sash to be mounted with fittings are variable as the conveyor belt has several vent holes.

Fittings rack
The fittings rack arranged over the table provides clearly laid out storage for the elongated fittings to be mounted.

Cutting-to-length tool
It is possible to use a cutting-to-length tool in order to punch and cut all fittings components to be cut to length for mounting on to the drive and top sides of the sash.

Numerically controlled dog
The numerically controlled dog on the tool sets the cutting gauge specified by the control system each time.

Bolting unit
The bolting unit consists of an automatic bolting device complete with a bolt sorting and singularising device for one type of bolts. The automatic bolting device is mounted on an easy-glide guide for convenient positioning.

Industrial PC
The industrial PC has been designed as a monitoring station including a colour monitor and input devices. It uses the latest Windows operating system and has a fittings resolution capability for automation-compatible fittings systems that can be connected.

Possible extension
Manual sash clamping station with subsequent bolting by a LEMUTH Automatic Sash Fittings Bolting Machine FBS135. In this configuration the fittings components are clamped by the fitter in the fittings groove and the elongated fittings are cut to the required dimension. Then the follow-on automatic bolting machine bolts all fittings fully automatically.
