DT-370 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The DT-370 is a Uni-Slide systems with a left-right slide. It is supplied with an anodised
aluminium base plate that has a pattern of holes drilled and tapped into it. This hole pattern
accepts a Miyachi fixture base plate, which is customer dependent and is mounted with bolts
and dowel pins.
The left-right slide makes it possible to load, position and unload parts in one position while
the bonding process takes place in the other position. This increases the output of the slide
system.
The parts are loaded with the fixture in the left or right positions. When the slide is
pneumatically moved to each position it automatically locks into place. The next set of parts
can be loaded while processing takes place on the other.
Operation of the two hand controls moves the slide between the left and right . When the
bonding process at the first position is completed, operation of the two hand controls moves
the slide to the second position. Again, when the correct position is reached, the slide
automatically locks into place.
For safety reasons, a sensor checks if the slide is in the correct position for the bonding
process. Only then can the process cycle be started with the two hand control. Two separate
sensors are mounted and with these, independent process settings for both bonding positions
can be automatically recalled.
