MOYER
AUTOMATION
FLEXIBLE AUTOMATIC LOADING for GRINDERS, SET REMOVERS and 100% LOAD TESTERS
State-of-the-art custom automation systems for all of your spring making
problems.
To meet JIT requirements and smaller
quantity production runs, the Moyer automatic loading design specifications
include:
- Fast Change Over
- Interchangeable Tooling
- Minimize Tooling Cost
These design goals were met using an adjustable V-track and electronic
escapement.
In the photo above you see a 24" stainless steel vibratory bowl having an
integral air detangler and a mechanical detangler with a hopper feed. The two
line discharge feeds springs into two adjustable V-tracks capable of handling
an OD range of 1/4" to 1". The bowl
includes internal adjustable tracks to feed OD ranges of 1/8" to 3/8", 1/4" to
5/8". Springs are escaped into funnels on demand from electronic signals.
Springs drop into nozzles aligned to feed them into the carrier plate onto a
Moyer 18" Grinder.
This automation system is just one of the several types designed and built by
Moyer. We have made systems to transfer springs directly from coilers to
grinders and from grinders to set removing stations and 100% load testers.
Springs can be transferred by mechanical means and by air. The system used is
based upon the particular needs of the customer and the configuration of the
parts.

INDEXING MECHANISM
|
Depending upon the type of machine being fed, the system for holding
and following the holes in the feed plate is different. When feeding
Moyer grinders, the mechanism is comprised of a pivoting arm which
holds the nozzles. The arm is driven by the spring carrier plate so the
nozzles follow the holes in the spring carrier plate. A cam follower,
index pin, cam lift and cam return ratchet the pivoting arm. The steel
indexing mechanism is plated with electrolysis nickel and hardened.
