New features include additional cycle inputs to accept a 110-VAC or 24-VDC signal; a new way to store the program that allows software upgrades without los- ing existing setups; increased memory to allow for as many as 250 setups to be saved and recalled for future use; the abil- ity to create a fault if the input signal is lost; and customizable alarm messages. www.unist.com
7th-Generation Front-Rear Mount Servo Transfer
Linear Transfer Automation booth 17063
Linear Transfer Automation
introduces its 7th-generation front-
and-rear-mount servo transfer sys-
tem, redesigned with an aluminum
Z-box design that is lighter and
stiffer than previous generations.
The lighter, stiffer actuators allow
for quicker, smoother payload transfer. Use the systems to turn any style of press, new or old, into a fully programmable transfer press. The unit parks up and out of the way during die change or while running progressive dies, and has fully independent head control and can run many variations of motion profiles. It can easily be adapt- ed to accept takeover or emergency work from another transfer system. www.lineartransfer.com
