Original Press Release:
New Tooling Capability for Increased Productivity: Pemserter® Qx4(TM) Manual Turret Tool System Enables Different Fastener Installations with One Set-Up
The new PEMSERTER® QX4(TM) Manual Turret Tool System provides an efficient method to alternate between four anvil tools and install four different types and/or sizes of self-clinching fasteners using only one press and one initial set-up. The QX4 System has been specially engineered for all new and existing PEMSERTER Series 4® and Series LT/4(TM) manual fastener-installation presses.
Users can realize increased productivity resulting from quicker set-up times, easy one-handed rotation of the turret, and elimination of time-consuming tooling changeovers when different fasteners must be installed. The system can further help to reduce the number and associated cost of multiple machines in a work cell production.
Other notetworthy features and benefits include a star turret design ideally suited for fastener-type installations more difficult to access; positive locking of the turret in place for increased reliability and safety; color-coded positions with matching color-coded parts trays to minimize risk of missing a fastener or damaging the workpiece; and the ability to remove and reinstall the table section without requiring realignment.
PEMSERTER manual presses compatible with the QX4 System include the Series 4 (with 18"/45.7cm throat depth and insertion force adjustable from 400 lbs. to 6 tons/1.8kN to 53.4kN) and LT/4 (with 10"/25.4cm throat depth and ram force of 3 tons/26.7 kN).
