WARE HANDLING SERVO MECHANISM • SERVO INVERT • SERVO TAKE-OUT • “BDF A.P. PUSHER”
WARE HANDLING SERVO MECHANISM
BDF, first in the world on the 1992, has designed and implemented in the I.S. Machines the Servo Invert and Take-Out mechanisms with the objective to reduce the defects in the finish and neck area. The result of this engineering program has been the realisation of a new state-of-the-art on the glass technology for the electronic control systems and for the servo mechanisms controlled by brushless servo motors with mathematical interpolation motion profiles.
SERVO INVERT
• Electric cams with interpolation • Sinusoidal acceleration – deceleration • Process control during the motion • Easy set-up with computer or hand terminal • Check of end-stroke positions • Defects reduction on container finish • Productivity increase (constant setup) • Reduction of manual adjustments • Elimination of hydraulic cushioning • Very low energy consumption due to the energy recovery control
Main Data
Electrical Features
• Minim. Revert Motion Time = 335 msec • Invert Position Accuracy= 0.34 mm on the DG 5”1/2 invert arm top • Invert Motor type= hollow shaft brushless motor BDF patent (very high reliability) • Transmission type= ball-screw with ceramic technology (low inertia, high efficiency and reliability)
• Control up to 12 stand-alone or integrated sections; • Repeatable accurate positioning • Data programmed via computer and hand terminal; • “Jog” function for mechanism run from hand terminal and local section control • Servo mechanism interference and anti-impact system to improve safety • Servo mechanism alarm system for easy diagnostic; • Emergency stop circuits comply with IEC204-1 and VDE0113 standards • Digital drives and brushless servo motors • Energy saving: DC bus recovers and recycles motor energy during deceleration • In the event of a power failure, a stand-alone battery unit, which is being recharged continually, enables glass to going out from the section (glass reject cycle) • 10 cams per servo invert • Self-learning parameters plus semiautomatic operation check • Real-time visual monitor of the currents absorbed by each mechanism to ensure correct operation and position during work cycle (less ware defects and less moulds maintenance)
• Self control system to check wrong position set-up
Mechanical Features • High-performance mechanical drive • Lower energy consumption • Fewer mechanical components • Servo invert interchangeable with the standard pneumatic mechanism without upper-plate modification • Servo invert mechanism with hollow shaft brushless motor and transmission with ball-screw • In ceramic material: low inertia, high efficiency, high reliability • Use of standard equipment • Elimination of constant cushions and mechanical adjustments
SERVO TAKE-OUT

• Control up to 12 stand-alone or integrated sections • Repeatable accurate positioning • Data programmed via computer and hand terminal • “Jog” function for mechanism run from hand terminal and local section control • Servo mechanism interference and anti-impact system to improve safety • Servo mechanism alarm system for easy diagnostic; • Emergency stop circuits comply with IEC204-1 and VDE0113 standards • Digital drives and brushless servo motors • Energy saving: DC bus recovers and recycles motor energy during deceleration • In the event of a power failure, a stand-alone battery unit, which is being recharged continually, enables glass to going out from the section (glass reject cycle) • 10 cams per servo take-out • Self-learning parameters plus semiautomatic operation check • Real-time visual monitor of the currents absorbed by each mechanism to ensure correct operation and position during work cycle (less ware defects and less moulds maintenance)
Mechanical Features • High-performance mechanical drive • Lower energy consumption • Fewer mechanical components • Interchangeable on standard I.S. machines • Use of standard equipment • Elimination of constant cushions and mechanical adjustments
BELT DRIVEN TAKE-OUT ARM • Motion without back-lash and vibrations • Light-weight construction with low inertia thaT means less mechanical stress for the take-out mechanism • Higher accurate alignment of tongs over the finish mould • Very high reliability • Reduced maintenance costs
Main features • Use of new technology synchronous belt for high • torque and high temperature (up to 185° C) • Housing and cover in aluminum with gasket to prevent pollution inside • Belt tensioning with pulley and eccentric • Belt tensioning in outside direction (positive tensioning) • Supports of shaft with balls and needle roller bearing • Anti-rotation safety system in case of belt broken
MODULAR TAKE-OUT TONG HOLDERS • The sum of single errors in thE dimensional chain (take out mech. arm) can be perfectly compensated • Every movable take-out head can be clamped without loosing the calibration • Excellent bottle handling with blow moulds closed • Excellent bottle handling on thread • The same module is available to configure the tong holders in SG - DG - TG
