Workpiece Accumulator Enables Unattended Operation
Tecnara’s Super Ario is a compact and portable automatic parts accumulator for Swiss machines and small CNC lathes.
Tecnara’s Super Ario is a compact and portable automatic parts accumulator for Swiss machines and small CNC lathes. It does not require a special machine interface and can operate unattended. To protect the newly machined parts, the parts tray can be filled with washing fluid to remove oil and prevent abrasion damage. Four models are available for a range of workpiece sizes, work emitter heights, production rates and run durations.
If the tray is filled with rinsing fluid, each workpiece is rinsed individually when it arrives on the tray to remove chips and debris from the receiving area. When workpieces fill the receptacle tray, it is manually replaced with another tray and the run continues. Unattended run length depends on workpiece size, processing time and the holding capacity of the receptacle tray. The rotation speed can be set to accommodate the job’s production rate.
