Rixan Introduces Fully Ease-of-Use Swivel Stand System
Rixan Associates, Inc. a Dayton, Ohio (USA) based robotic and automation system provider has recently introduced unique Swivel Stand Systems (the RSS-1000 and RSS-2000) that offer repeatable positioning for automated operations.
In many automated machining operations, the operators require access to the machine to set-up the job and perform routine maintenance. The robot, or automated feeder, must be removed and later reinstalled to provide the access.
The Rixan swivel stand allows the robot to swivel out of the way for access, and later, be easily repositioned with excellent repeatability.
According to Stephen Harris, President of Rixan Associates, the Rixan Swivel Stand is very rigid with repeatable support of a robot or other machinery up to 250 kg (550 lbs). The mounting pattern can be set to client specifications with various heights and arm lengths available.
"As part of Rixan's commitment to ease-of-use robotics, all stands include mounting instructions, detailed suggestions on robot positioning within a work cell and a variety of helpful guides for safety implementation." stated Harris.
"The RSS-2000 includes a gear clamp for fast release and will index every 3 degrees over the entire 360 degree rotation. Other options a customer may consider include a robot safety handcuff, a safety switch system and various cable management techniques." Harris added.
The Rixan Swivel Stands have been installed in France and in the USA with excellent customer acceptance. Established in 1959, Rixan is a leader in the field of robotics and automation, serving all industries.
