In the case of smaller series, parts variants and many changes, modular tool systems from STEINEL show their true potential.
Tool changes – inserting and getting started
The modular tool system features a three-stage design:
In order to retrofit for new parts, the adapter plate including the modules is pulled out and replaced by another. Part variants can be implemented by replacing individual modules. This saves time used for retrofitting and machine costs.
Standardised, pre-equipped modules are available from stock, which means that only the active elements have to be custom-manufactured. That means you spend less time and money on tool production.
The grid size of the integrated system springs in the modular system is always 50 mm.
The life time of the springs depends on the preload and the stroke. In accordance with ISO 10243, they are designed for „a long life time“. You can find specific information on this topic in the Spring elements catalogue.
The number of springs is the result of the grid size of 50 mm as well as the length and width of the basic structure.
If the module width is 200 mm, up to three rows of springs are used. If the width is 250 mm, it can be up to four rows.
The tolerance of the modules toward each other is less than 0.02 mm.
The tolerance of the parallelism is less than 0.02 mm.
Application-specific cable ducts can be introduced in the adapter plate.
The middle mount shoulder pillars in the STEINEL modular system are pressed in.
The standardised modules are available from stock – subject to being sold.
Upon request, we will provide you with the delivery time for the basic structure that is to be adapted to the respective production machine.
Our price list includes all available versions of the standardised modules. We would be happy to make you an individual offer for the machine-specific basic frame as well as for customer-specific adaptations.
Thanks to the clear design with unambiguous characteristics and functions, instructions for installing/assembling/equipping the modular systems are not required. The design data are included in the scope of supply.
The basic structure is designed for the respective production plant.
A strip infeed with a film gate station is not included in the standard version but it can be integrated optionally.
