Semi-Assisted Tooling to Accelerate Punching:

The know-how of ASM engineers and technicians on special machines obviously allows them to produce simple tools.

These projects can be a first step to automation because they respond quickly and cost-effectively to automation requirements when our customers' production volumes become large.

ASM designed this tool for one of the French leaders in the manufacture of gold jewellery. Following automation by ASM of part of its upstream manufacturing, the punching station had become a bottleneck.

The Specifications for this Example Machine Tooling:

ASM therefore produced this semi-assisted tooling in a few weeks to speed up punching:

• Anvil adjustable in X, Y and Z to adapt to any type of jewel
• Manually pre-adjustable punch height
• Change of punch by manual screwing
• Punching by pneumatic cylinder controlled by pedal

ASM has designed and installed more than 300 production machines. Here are some examples of achievements that might interest you:

• Revamping with 5 Universal Robots of an automated storage line
• Automated storage
• trolley lift
• Assisted handling of industrial containers
