Semi-Automatic Pavement Lanternizing Equipment

This semi-automatic equipment is designed to adjust the center pinion by indenting the cannon pinion surface. The precision of the operation is achieved thanks to the high-precision mechanics and the integration of a closed-loop vision system. The indenting process involves an initial deformation performed by the 2 knives. A vision algorithm then drives a second deformation to achieve the desired precision.
  • Repeatability: +/-1 µm
  • Cycle time: < 13 sec. /part (loading in masked time)
  • Dimensions : W 800 x D 600 x H 300 (650 with display)
  • Weight: 177 kg
