Metzner RPA 10-SL: Powder press automation for the handling of indexable inserts

Powder press automation for the handling of indexable inserts and small ceramic parts

The "Metzner RPA 10-SL" is a powerful and flexible press automation system for handling indexable inserts and small ceramic parts for medium to large batch sizes.

The "Metzner RPA 10-SL" has an integrated magazine system for up to ten sintering inserts. Empty sintering inserts are automatically removed from the magazine, loaded and then returned as required. In this way, the powder press automation works independently over a longer period of time without loading and unloading processes leading to a press stop. Additional tasks such as weighing or deburring the pressed parts are also performed fully automatically.

With its integrated 4-axis SCARA robot, the machine achieves very high system speeds of up to 30 stroke/min. This makes the "RPA 10" ideally suited for connection to electric presses with high cycle performance.

The "RPA 10-SL" is operated conveniently via the integrated control or via the mobile operator terminal. At the push of a button, loaded sintering plates are removed and new ones received. Defined operating data are transferred to the press control via an interface.
