Floyd Automatic has brought out the Schwanog Selector system to improve the inspection of randomly selected parts during series production runs.
This component selection device divides loose production batches into bins consisting of up to eight smaller units.
The eight component compartments can be indexed automatically using time or quantity settings that are pre-determined by the end user.
The bins are located on an indexing table that rotates when the bin achieves its pre-determined quantity.
Fed from the part conveyor/chute of the machine tool, the Schwanog Selector can be a productivity partner for single spindle turning centres, multi-spindle automatic lathes, rotary transfer machines, punching/stamping machines and gear cutters.
The system is available in four individual models with an overall diameter from 230 to 475 mm.
