By Moog Rekofa, endless rotation with maintenance-free slip ring transmitters
Ethernet in stretch wrapping systems
Moog Rekofa GmbH - since 1960, the company has been producing slip ring transmitters for the transmission of currents, data and media from stationary to endlessly rotating axes - has developed an extra slip ring series in the direction of packaging machines and its special requirements, thanks to the experience gained in market segments such as blow moulding, filling and labelling. Wherever rotation threatens to break off lines, slip ring

ROBOT DELTA FOR PICK & PLACE, ASSEMBLY AND HANDLING For over 35 years Sipro Srl has been providing solutions for motion control, designing and producing numerical controls for automatic machines. Italian leader in PLC controls for machine automation, Sipro has developed in the last 10 years an internal division dedicated to robotics, offering a complete range of robots with delta geometry. Ideal complement in all sectors of packaging for fast pick and place, assembly and handling, Sipro
transmitters are used to ensure endless rotation. The product series F 8000 (without hollow shaft) or AC4598 (with hollow shaft) can be combined with a media distributor (e.g. 2-channel air) if required. Ethernet data transmission has been standard at Moog Rekofa for years, up to 1 GigaBit is already possible today. The extremely compact slip ring transmitters also have very low noise and resistance rates due to the silver contact pairing. Designed to be very robust (we remind that comparable products are also used, for example, in mobile excavators, wind power and welding systems in the
automotive industry), the systems are maintenance-free up to >100,000,000 revolutions. Standards and new developments. The installed slip rings and current collectors guarantee a smooth operation in closed housings up to IP 69K and best EMC properties. At Moog, slip ring transmitter standards and stock items are available. Simple modifications such as the attachment of customer-specific cables or connectors are possible. However, it also occurs that completely new slip ring assemblies are developed in close consultation with the customer.
robots are available with working diameters of 500 mm, 700 mm, 1200 mm and 1600 mm, and configurable with 3, 4 or 5 axes. Integration with vision systems is also possible. Further advantages are the possibility to customize the robot and the gripping hands according to the needs, as well as functions such as interpolation, tracking of the gripping and storage belt, management and distribution of the incoming products on several robots in line, 3D fittings and software execution on Android mobile systems.
