During development of the Kurtz Ersa handling systems, great care was taken to cater to customer requirements. This resulted in solutions that offer optimum printed circuit board handling for the production process. There are various modules available, from which the handling system can be configured at will. The range includes lifting and lowering stations, as well as height difference modules, turning stations, and workstations. There are conveyor belts up to 8,000 mm in length that are available, to connect to the individual modules. Based on high flexibility, the modular system offers a number of combination options. Depending on customer wishes, the handling system can be tailor-made.
Available modules:
- Robot solutions: Tailor-made robot solutions can be integrated on request – whether collaborative or stand-alone solution, in consideration of the respective task, the perfect solution for production processes will be developed.
- Workstations: Tailor-made workstation solutions, from rapid workstation for PCB assembly to inline quality check and process discharge, matching the respective process requirements.
- Transport: individually configured transport zone, enabling it to be tailored precisely to the requirements at the production location – no maximum limit; optional return transport zone is always possible, making the compact realization of bidirectional printed circuit board transport feasible.
- Lifting station: Vertical upward component transport will lift the printed circuit board from the lower transport zone to machine infeed height.
- Lowering station: Vertical downward component transport will lower the printed circuit board from the machine outfeed height to the lower transport zone.
- Turning station: Takes account of space restrictions in your production line; there is no longer anything stopping the process flow from being redirected: separate, turn, and advance the product.
- Integrated cooling: If required, an additional cooling after soldering process can be integrated in the return conveyor to balance temperatures.
- Removal station: e.g. for separating out non-spec parts during the ongoing production process. Individual height compensation between transport and lift units can be integrated if needed (for reasons of workstation ergonomics).
