For the Friedemann Wagner GmbH, a professional in the field of handling and automation technology, the RSE-4 rotary indexing unit is visualized. The focus of the project is on the visual description of the functionality, the numerous adjustment and conversion options as well as the correct handling of the product. This project demonstrates the possibilities and advantages of animation. Only with the help of animations can the customer and user be introduced to the function and complex technical issues in the shortest possible time.
Visualizations using the example of the Rotary Indexing Unit RSE-4
The animations as well as the respective animation descriptions, arranged exemplarily in tabs:
3D Product Visualization - Rotary Indexing Unit RSE-4
This product visualization introduces the rotary indexing unit RSE-4 (and RSE-3) from Friedemann Wagner GmbH. The essential operating modes, the functionality as well as additional features and setting options are presented briefly and comprehensibly. The other tabs contain the individual animations which highlight and explain the individual functions and features of the product.
Functionality - Rotary Indexing Unit RSE-4
Functionality of the rotary indexing unit RSE-4 (and RSE-3). When the rack (piston) is coupled in, the plate is rotated (feed). The linear movement is converted into rotation. In the end position, the drive is uncoupled and at the same time the plate is indexed for machining the workpiece (locked torque absorption 100 Nm by 2 index pins). When the plate is locked, the rack returns to the starting position. The control can therefore take place via a 5/2 way valve!
Counterclockwise rotation - Rotary Indexing Unit RSE-4
Pneumatic rotary indexing unit RSE-4, shown here in counterclockwise rotation, viewed from above onto the plate. The direction of rotation can be changed by the customer himself. In addition, a conversion kit for pendulum operation is available in the accessories!
Clockwise rotation - Rotary Indexing Unit RSE-4
Pneumatic rotary indexing unit RSE-4, shown here in clockwise rotation, viewed from above onto the plate. The direction of rotation can be changed by the customer himself. A conversion kit for pendulum operation is also available as an accessory!
Pendulum operation 180° - Rotary Indexing Unit RSE-4
Animation of a shuttle operation left / right - 180°. The rotary indexing units RSE-3 and RSE-4 can be ordered ex works in shuttle design. Alternatively, a later conversion is also possible (accessories, conversion kit).
Pendulum operation Free Control - Rotary Indexing Unit RSE-4
Animation of a shuttle operation left / right - free control. The rotary switching units RSE-3 and RSE-4 can already be ordered ex works in shuttle design. Alternatively, a later conversion is also possible (accessories, conversion kit).
Throttle for setting the rotation speed - Rotary Indexing Unit RSE-4
For stepless adjustment of the disc speed, the rotary switching unit is equipped ex works with an integrated exhaust air throttle. This does not have to be purchased or connected separately.
Position sensing Proximity sensor NSS-O-6.5 in Rotary Indexing Unit RSE-4
Here the query about the proximity switch set NSS-O-6,5-S-65 is shown. The sensors are simply screwed in instead of the blind plugs and acknowledge the end position of the rack. Shown on a table in counterclockwise rotation (viewed from above on the plate) is the signal at the end of the feed (plate rotated) and with the rack retracted (implied: locked).
Shock absorber in Rotary Unit RSE-4
Here is shown installation situation of damper at table in left-running direction (counter-clockwise, view from upside onto plate). Depending on the moving mass inertia and load, the damper must be adjusted either by means of the adjusting screw or, if necessary, by turning the damper in and out (effective stroke).
Damper setting for correct locking
If the damping of the rotary indexing unit is not correctly adjusted to the load, the kinetic energy causes the index position to be prematurely stopped or crossed. Depending on the situation, this prevents or makes it more difficult to lock the plate, as the two bolts cannot freely find their way into the locking mechanism. Although the conical locking bolts allow indexing, this is associated with unclean movement and wear. In most cases, this small adjustment error can be seen in the forward or backward movement of the plate. Therefore, always adjust the damper to your load (adjusting screw on the damper or using the stroke by turning the shock absorber in or out).
For the Friedemann Wagner GmbH a special thank you for providing the animation descriptions.
