SCREW & SMALL METAL FABRICATION INDUSTRY

GOESSLING has worked with their client KAMAX in Hessen even prior to the acquisition by JOEST group. The KAMAX group is a leading supplier for heavy duty fasteners for the transportation industry and others. Through several projects in the past, a strong cooperation has been built. Once more, the division GOESSLING was able to convince with the right machines and its expertise and received another order. The client’s demand was to handle the discharge of screws from a thread roller into the client’s containers in a quiet and gentle fashion. An automated operation and complying to space restrictions on site were additional demands.
As a solution, GOESSLING designed and manufactured an L-shaped Hinged-Belt Conveyor with an adjustable incline. The machine has an effective width of 400 mm and an axle-base of 2.400 mm with an incline of 35 degrees.

JOEST manufactured two automaticfeed systems to convey, sort and feedwelding studs and flange nuts. Thesystems are built up of an overheadconveyor with a link chain, a storage container, a linear feeder and a workpiece recirculation. The workpieces are provided manually in a storage container with an effective volume of 320 liters. The container has a steel design and is lined with PU plates. It also features a filling level indicator. The parts are presorted by workpiece specific carrier rails, conveyed upwards and fed into a linear feeder. The linear feeder is equipped with two parallel sorting feeders. On these feed-ers, alignment mechanisms force the workpieces into the correct orientation. Excess or falsely orientated parts are rejected by the linear feeder and are recirculated to the storage container. The sorting feeders are equipped with pneumatic deflectors to prevent the magazine from overflowing and to control the feeding lane in case a screw is left out.
