7” GRAPHIC TOUCHSCREEN PLC WITH INTEGRATED REMOTE CONNECTION
The graphic touchscreen PLC with Codesys3 programming protocol ensures instant page changes in the graphical interface, developed and patented by Top Automazioni. The interface allows real-time management of: axis position data, loader-lathe signals, proximity status, sensors, valves, and pneumatic actuators, as well as work phases and piece counting. The 7” color touchscreen provides intuitive control of the loader’s functions and parameters. The system includes advanced diagnostics and alarm management, even remotely.
BAR MEASUREMENT SYSTEM WITH MECHANICAL PROBE
The mechanical measurement device (flap) of POWER4.0 accurately detects the bar length and ensures high reliability under all operating conditions, including:
• Presence of oil on the bar or in the measurement area,
• Different bar cross-sections or materials,
• Variations in light or reflectivity in the measurement zone.
TOP® PATENTS: CENTERING DEVICE AND 5/6-STAGE TELESCOPIC SYSTEM
POWER4.0 can be equipped with the following innovative patented solutions by Top Automazioni:
• Self-centering movable centering device: Equipped with 6 rollers, it is mounted on the back of the sliding headstock carriage and replicates its movements to support the bar up to the spindle entry. This reduces vibrations, improves surface finish, and shortens cycle times.
• Compact telescopic system: Available in 5- or 6-stage versions, it is mounted between the front plate of the loader and the rear of the lathe spindle. It extends and retracts in sync with the headstock movements, protecting the rotating bar and supporting the pusher. Both the 5- and 6-stage versions measure 130 mm when retracted, with a stroke of 315 mm (5 stages) or 425 mm (6 stages).
INFINITY – BAR FEEDER
INFINITY is an automatic bar feeder suitable for sliding-head CNC Lathe.
The full management of the bar loader is entrusted to a PLC touch screen. The electronic interacts with a brushless motor and digital solenoid valves, which set torque and speed of feeding, as well as all the operative functions of the machine.
The steady blocks set in the bar’s channel, are automatically adjusted in only 60 seconds by the PLC, according to the new diameter of the machine.
INFINITY 3 mm – 38 mm can be equipped with the following loading storages:
- SINGLE LEVEL 12° angled storage with 250 mm loading capacity (Equipped with RATCHET storage with 16 positions recommended for small diameters Ø3 – Ø4 – Ø5 – Ø6).
- MULTI LEVEL storage, featuring 4 different levels, each of 200 mm carrying capacity (equipped with anti-overlapping system starting from 6 mm minimum diameter, without anti-overlapping system it starts from 10 mm minimum diameter).
INFINITY S 4 mm – 45 mm can be equipped with the following loading storages:
- SINGLE LEVEL 12° angled storage with 250 mm loading capacity (Optional RATCHET storage with 16 positions recommended for small diameters Ø3 – Ø4 – Ø5 – Ø6).
- MULTI LEVEL storage, featuring 4 different levels, each of 200 mm carrying capacity (equipped with anti-overlapping system starting from 6 mm minimum diameter, without anti-overlapping system it starts from 10 mm minimum diameter).
