HVS40i with a light curtain

Standard stand-alone heat staking system with a simple base plate to mount a workpiece holder.

The product to be processed is located by the operator directly in the workpiece holder fitted under the heat staking head and the staking process is started by a pushbutton.

The operating area of the heat staking head is monitored by a light curtain at the housing opening.

If there is any intrusion into the operating area or the light curtain is broken during the staking process, the system switches into the “emergency off” condition.

All components withing the housing are then isolated from compressed air and from electric voltage. The heat staking unit can be fitted with various single and multiple heat staking heads.

Temporarily heated system, where active cooling of the product takes place after the heating phase.

A Stand-alone system which can be operated from a standing or sitting operating position.

The HVS 40i is quoted by us as a “modular” system. Consequently, we can meet customer functional specifications from simple systems, which are purely thermally monitored, to completely process-monitored expansion sections with component raised- and lowered-distance measurement, permanent force measurement and data communication.

The relevant heat staking tools are matched to the product and the control circuit of the system is designed for the connection of single dies to the use of complex, multiple heat staking heads (e.g. for use in staking of 10 or more simultaneous processes. The shaping dies are manufactured in-house to meet customer specifications. The heat staking heads can be very rapidly changed over.

Our innovative coating technologies ensure the maximum possible operating life of the heat staking die even with extremely compact plastics and provide maximum resistance to the abrasive wear and erosion to which the forming surfaces in contact with the product are exposed. Coatings with a micro hardness (HV 0.05) up to 3,300 are used.

System control allows freely programmable heating and cooling phases, comprehensive monitoring functions (warning- and malfunction messages for all possible parameters), workpiece or maintenance counters, storage of manufacturing parameters for 10 or more products, possibility of displaying all identified process parameters etc. All changes to process-relevant parameters are password protected. Serious fault reports, (such as the breaching of malfunction values or repeated alarms) can only be overridden by means of an additional key switch.

In combination with the safety casing, the system satisfies all working safety requirements. The safety door of the housing, which is monitored by a safety switch, can be can be unlocked and opened by a key switch.
Consequently, the system functioning can be controlled during set-up and maintenance operations or heat seal head replacement can be carried out.
