Ideal for bar feeding applications using twin spindle or sub-spindle machines with thru-hole, Blaze Air Unloader automatically removes parts through the back of the secondary spindle after both ends have been machined. This continuous, automatic unloading of parts substantially increases production efficiency while enhancing operator safety. Additionally, Blaze Air is easily integrated into automated production cells.
Productivity Efficiency
The Blaze Air from LNS is engineered to unload parts from the machine sub-spindle automatically and can be easily integrated into automated production cells. When combined with an LNS bar feeder on the main spindle, a substantial increase in production capability and operator safety are gained by the continuous operation of unloading parts automatically—ideally suited to bar feeding applications for twin spindle or sub-spindle machines with thru-hole.
Changeover Simplicity
Complete diameter changeovers for the Blaze Air Unloader can be achieved in 5 minutes or less. No collets are required; vacuum is used for loading/unloading. Quick changeovers result in minimal downtime allowing production levels to be met. The operator can achieve changeover quickly, with minimal tools required to competitively and rapidly meet customer demands.
Operation
The Blaze Air Unloader is small in size and blazing in speed. The Blaze Air positions a loaded part against the workstop, which cushions the part and transmits a signal to confirm that the load is complete. After the part is machined, the Blaze Air extracts it back through the same spindle and unloads it onto an exit tray. The next part is then loaded.
