Cleanroom Compatible NC Joining Module NCFT for Small Joining and Test Forces with Cable Free Signal Transmission KISTLER
The new NC joining module provides reliably accurate measurements by transmitting the force signal telemetrically, i.e. wirelessly. With their compact mechanism and integral piezoelectric force sensors, the modules comprehensively cover measuring ranges from
50 … 1 500 N. Advantages include easy selection of the ideal measuring range, a high overload factor and modest user spare parts inventory. Complex drive profiles with a maximum speed of up to 400 mm/s and a displacement repeatability of 0,002 mm can be achieved.
The new NC joining module offers the possibility of ultra high precision measurement of extremely small forces directly on the tool holder under actual process conditions, without having to mount an additional sensor on the ram. This eliminates any possibility of the measurement signal being impaired by dynamic characteristics of masses or moving cables.
Many medical consumables are required to be manufactured under cleanroom conditions. The NC joining module Type 2157B... meets stringent production environment requirements laid down by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) in Stuttgart: manufacturing can be performed in ISO 8 cleanrooms as standard, or even under ISO 7 conditions with the adoption of a minor additional measure.
The NC joining module is suitable for use in both manually fed and automated stations. For controlling complex processes and comprehensive monitoring with the aid of more than thirty types of tolerance windows, the evaluation units DMF-P A310 Universal Type 4740A… or DMF-P A300 NCF Type 4734A… are recommended.
The new NCFT complements the range of NC joining systems from Kistler. Five series in different sizes now provide seamless coverage of measuring ranges from 0,05 … 300 kN. They are available not only as a system subassembly but also in complete manual workstations for development, prototyping or small-batch production.
