At a glance:
From 07.-10.11.2023, Blechexpo, international trade fair for metalworking, attracts visitors from all over the world to Stuttgart. Karl Heesemann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG has a stand in Hall 5 represents and exhibits two metal grinding machines from the ProfiRounder series. The two patented innovations are also in the luggage KinematiQ and RUL, which made it into the top 3 innovations in the area of surface processing at the last Blechexpo Award and are still unparalleled.
The software developed specifically by Heesemann called KinematiQ is able to calculate the edge rounding of any brush assembly on the basis of kinematics and thus enables the development of perfected aggregates. Because when the kinematic data of a machine are known, the intensity and uniformity of the rounding can be predicted in detail. This offers great potential in the development of new grinding units for rounding and deburring.
With KinematiQ, this was RUL-Unit developed that rounds equally intensively and evenly — evenly in terms of the geometry of the workpiece edges and uniformity in terms of placement on the transport belt. The RUL unit consists of 6 orbiting satellites, each of which carries grinding flake rollers 370 mm wide and 350 mm diameter. By orbiting the satellites in conjunction with their rotation around both their vertical and horizontal axes, workpieces are processed equally intensively from all directions, which no other brushing process on the market achieves. The speed of rotation, circulation and feed can be adjusted continuously.
Thanks to the unique kinematics, in addition to vacuum, it is possible to use pressure rollers to fix the workpieces on the conveyor belt. This is a unique advantage, especially for long, narrow parts and warped workpieces. Pressure rollers cannot be used in classic “rotor” systems, as the diameter of the rotors is often over 1,600 mm. In addition, this makes the machines longer and also increases the processing time of the individual workpieces. With an overall length of just 1,000 mm, the RUL has very compact dimensions, and an additional pressure roller is used between the two tool tracks so that, for example, long, narrow workpieces can be held securely even when warped.
“With the new kinematics, we achieve outstanding results with homogeneous tool wear and unparalleled productivity. These innovations are not limited to the metal sheet sector, but can also be adapted for software-based process optimization in woodworking. In the meantime, the RUL unit is also available for the timber sector. We have thus achieved our stated goal of creating synergies within these two divisions and ensuring know-how transfer from which our customers in both the wood and metal sectors can benefit.”, summarizes managing director Christoph Giese.
