SECTION 2

IDENTIFYING AND LOCATING MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE PRESS

Identifying Major Components of the Press

This section introduces the user to the major components of the press.

Frame

The frame is the structure of the press. The main section is made of solid steel with welded components that form the base and the other support sections. All parts are directly or indirectly mounted onto the frame.

Main Cylinder/Ram

The ram force of the press is exerted by a hydraulic cylinder called the Main Cylinder. It is mounted directly onto the frame surrounded by the front enclosure. Attached to the main cylinder, at the back end, is a sensor probe called a Linear Transducer, which reads the location of the main cylinder piston. Attached to the end of the main cylinder rod is the safety assembly, described in Section 3. The main cylinder rod is referred to as the Ram.

Operator Controls

All the operator controls are located on the door of the Front Enclosure except the foot pedal. These include the Touch Screen, the E-Stop button, the Power ON button, the Power OFF button, the Audible Beeper, and the Spotting Light button.

• Touch Screen - This is the primary interface to the press control system (the PLC). It is

used for installation and automatic feed setup and configuration, feedback to the user and diagnostics. The screen displays text and graphical information and allows the operator to make selections by touching different parts of the screen as indicated by what is displayed on the screen. The touch screen is programmed with an automatic screen save mode that blanks the screen when not in use after 10 minutes. To reactivate the screen, just touch anywhere on the screen. Detailed explanations of each screen are provided in Section 6 of this manual.

• E-Stop Button - Pressing this button disconnects power to the quick exhaust/supply valve

(see air supply inlet system on page 9). When pressure is exhausted, all pneumatic motion stops. During an E-Stop condition all outputs are turned off. The control system remains online and detects the E-stop.

6 of 119

• Power ON Button - If the press is on, this button is lit green. When the press is off, pressing

this button will provide power to the press control system which will initialize the press, including pressurizing the press and moving the Ram to it’s retracted “home” position.

• Power OFF Button – This button is lit amber if there is electricity connected to the press but

the press is off. When the press is on, the amber light will be off. Press this button to turn the press off, power will be switched off from the control system and all moving components including the quick exhaust/supply valve.

• Audible Beeper - This beeper is controlled by the PLC and is used to indicate to the operator

when the press or operation requires special attention. The volume can be adjusted by turning the outer ring and adjusting the aperture of the beeper.

• Spotting Light Push Button – Push this button to turn the spotting light on and off. This

button is lit when the laser spotting light is on. Never aim the spotting light anywhere except at the workpiece and, never look directly into the spotting light.

• Foot Pedal - The foot pedal is used by the operator to control the start of a press cycle. It

frees the operator to use his hands to manipulate the workpiece.

Pneumatic/Hydraulic Enclosure

The Pneumatic/Hydraulic Enclosure on the right side of the press houses all the major components of the Air-Oil System that control the main cylinder. These components include the computer controlled pressure regulator system, the ram valve assembly which includes the ram valve and the booster valve, the Air-over-Oil tanks, the Air-Oil booster, and the hydraulic safety valves.

Electrical Enclosure

The Electrical Enclosure, under the Pneumatic/Hydraulic Enclosure, houses the computer control system (PLC) and various electrical components and distribution terminals. Electric Power and the Foot Pedal connect to this enclosure. The door is key-locked and located on the back is the electrical on-off switch. This switch must be ON for the press to be powered on. Turning off this switch removes all power to the press. The electrical power cord plugs in next to the switch. Removing the power cord can be used to lock out all power to press when performing maintenance.

7 of 119

Vibratory Feeder Bowl (Automatic Fastener Feeding Component)

The Vibratory Feeder Bowl, on the left side of the press, is used for automatic feeding of fasteners. It is an electrically driven device, which holds and moves different types of fasteners. Various types of tooling components are attached to the bowl to orient the fasteners being fed out of the bowl. The vibratory bowl comes equipped with a "Universal Escapement" adapter, which is used for all nut-type tooling and some stud-type tooling. The Vibratory Feeder Bowl is controlled by a dial and a switch on the Bowl Control Box, above the bowl.

• Bowl Amplitude Dial - The bowl's amplitude or force of vibration is regulated by a dial

control. The amplitude adjustment is used to control the feed rate and performance of the automatic feeding process.

• Bowl Three Mode Switch - A 3 position switch is used to select whether the bowl is always

on, always off or automatically controlled by the PLC. When the switch is set to auto, the PLC turns on the bowl during run mode and during diagnostics. During run mode the PLC will turn the bowl off if there is a period of inactivity. The PLC will restart the bowl automatically when the next fastener is fed. When loading or unloading fasteners , turn the bowl ON/OFF as desired. Return the switch to AUTO when finished.

Shuttle Support Assembly (Automatic Fastener Feeding Component)

The Shuttle Support Assembly located next to the Vibratory Feeder Bowl is used to hold and actuate tooling shuttle components, route air supplies and hold the Stud-in-tube-Sensor and "Puffer" Flow Control Valve. The Shuttle Air Cylinder on the Shuttle Support Assembly actuates tooling shuttles. The shuttle receives the parts fed from the vibratory feeder bowl, singulates the parts and feeds them out to the punch/anvil area. The Shuttle Support Assembly is aligned with the vibratory feeder bowl. Proper alignment is important to the functioning of the shuttle tooling.

• Stud-in-tube Sensor - The PLC uses this ring sensor to monitor and control the feeding

process of stud-type tooling.

• Puffer Flow Control Valve - This valve controls the air flow to the Vibratory Feeder Bowl

tooling attachments and is used to regulate various aspects of the escapement and nutgate performance.

8 of 119

Slide and Gripper Assembly (Automatic Fastener Feeding Component)

The Slide and Gripper Assembly mounted to the top of the frame throat is used to hold top-feed tooling components and has two pneumatic actuators. The two actuators are a linear slide cylinder and a parallel acting gripper. The gripper is used to actuate the tooling jaws that hold fasteners. The gripper opens and closes to receive and release fasteners. The gripper is attached to the end of the linear slide. The linear slide is used to move the gripper and jaws from its retracted position out to the punch position. This system is used to feed fasteners out to tooling punches. The Slide and Gripper Assembly also holds tube extension tooling for stud-type tooling. The Slide and Gripper Assembly can be removed for special workpiece accessibility.

Anvil holder Assembly

The Anvil Holder Assembly mounted to the bottom of the frame throat is used to hold the anvil tooling components and has a single air cylinder. The Bottom Feed Cylinder is used to actuate Bottom Feed Nut Tooling Modules.

Tooling Valve/Storage Enclosure

The Tooling Valve/Storage Enclosure is located underneath the Vibratory Feeder Bowl. Behind the door is another enclosure that contains the pneumatic valves that control the different tooling actuators and blowers. Under that enclosure is the Tooling Air Accumulation Tank. The tank provides a steady supply of compressed air to the tooling valves for consistent tooling feeding performance.

Air Supply Inlet System

The supply of compressed air enters the press in the back through a system, which includes a filter/regulator and an electrically controlled quick exhaust/supply valve. The regulator is manually set to control the supply line pressure. Turning on the quick exhaust/supply valve supplies air to the press. When the quick exhaust/supply valve is turned off the valve closes and exhausts all downstream compressed air in the press quickly.

Tooling Storage Cabinet (Optional)

The Tooling Storage cabinet is located on the left side of the press.

SECTION 3

SAFETY SYSTEM OPERATION

WARNINGS - To avoid injury:

1. Always shut off the electrical power, and remove the power cord, before servicing this machine.

2. Only authorized and trained personnel should maintain, repair, setup, or operate this equipment.

3. Always use eye protection when operating or maintaining the press.

SYSTEM SAFETY FEATURES

1. Shutting off the electrical power, with either the “OFF” push-button, the ON / OFF switch, or pushing the E-Stop button, will cause the electric quick exhaust/supply valve to exhaust all air pressure in the press. WITHOUT ANY CONTAINED PRESSURE, ALL PNEUMATIC MOTION STOPS.

2. The electrical cabinet door is key-locked to discourage unauthorized access.

3. The patented safety system can distinguish between a work piece properly set-up between the ram and the anvil, and a foreign object placed between the ram and the anvil. The safety system operates as follows:

• A sensor called a linear transducer is installed on the top of the main cylinder. The linear

transducer senses the position of the main cylinder piston and transmits that information back to the PLC.

• A device called the "safety assembly" is installed in the bottom of the ram. The assembly

consists of a fixed section called the housing and a compressible spring-loaded section called the adapter. The adapter holds the punch tooling. When the ram extends and the adapter or punch tooling contacts an object, the safety assembly compresses.

• Two redundant pairs of optical thru-beam sensors are located inside the front enclosure,

under the main cylinder. Each pair of sensors maintains an individual optical beam path that is reflected through one of two holes in the ram by the "reflective collar". When the safety assembly is compressed, part of the safety assembly inside the ram, blocks both beam paths and the sensors are triggered.

• When the sensors are triggered, because, either the safety assembly is compressed, the

reflective collar is moved, or the beam path is blocked in some other way, the PLC immediately senses the change.

15 of 119

• During a Setup Cycle, the PLC uses this system to "learn" where the fastener and

workpiece location is by moving the ram down, compressing the safety assembly, sensing the contact and reading the Linear Transducer. The data of the contact location is saved and used for a comparison during each press/run cycle.

• During Press Cycling, the PLC determines each time it senses that the safety

assembly/punch has contacted something, whether it is "legitimate" or "not legitimate". A "safety window" is used to allow for minor variations with workpiece or operator precision.

• Only if BOTH redundant signals agree and the latest contact point is within the "safety

window", does the PLC allow the safety assembly to fully compress and for the air-oil system to apply the predetermined high force needed for fastener installation.

4. Three levels of access security are available, each with a different four digit pass code

WARNING: Immediately upon receipt of your press, establish a “Maintenance Code” for your supervisor/maintenance personnel only, as it is possible, however difficult, to operate the press without the standard safeguards in place in the Maintenance Mode. Only trained personnel should use the Maintenance Mode the PennEngineering® is not responsible for improper maintenance mode procedures which result in a loss of operation of the press or operator safety.

5. If the Linear Transducer or either of the ram safety sensors should develop an open or a shortfault, the entire system, including the ram, will come to an immediate stop and not operate further, until repairs are made.

SECTION 4

PRESS INSTALLATION

Moving The Press

• When using a forklift or pallet jack be sure that the forks are properly located between the fork guide tabs under the base of the press. When hoisting from above (See Fig 4-1), be sure to balance the chain or strap between the two eyebolts to prevent swinging. WARNING: unbalanced loading of the press or sudden stops may lead to toppling of the press.

Locating The Press

• Select a well-lit clean area with a (relatively) level floor. The floor must be able to support the weight of the press.

Leveling The Press

• The press should be leveled and stabilized after it has been located. This is done by adjusting the height of each footpad then locking each footpad in position by tightening a jam nut. This task requires two 3/4” wrenches (See Fig 4-2). An adjustable wrench may also be used. Adjust the foot pad while reading the level at the tooling nut gate adapter. The universal escapement adapter must sit level for proper functioning of the feed systems.

Open Space Requirements

• PennEngineering® has no specific requirements for providing open space around the perimeter of a press. However, be sure to comply with any national or regional safety codes that may dictate otherwise. For example, In the US the National Electrical Code requires that there be at least thirty-six inches of clearance in front of the electrical enclosure. We do recommend that you at least leave enough space around the press so the various storage and maintenance enclosures can be opened fully and so the largest workpieces can be accommodated.

Original Installation Requirements

After the final installation of the press verify the continuity of the protective bonding circuit (TN-System) in accordance with EN 60204-1 Clause 18.2.2 standards.

Recommended Air Supply Hook-Up Arrangement

Proper air supply is very important to the performance and maintenance of the press. Following these simple guidelines will ensure good press performance.

• Air Quality - The quality of the air supply is very important. The air must be clean and dry. Moisture and debris will contaminate the oil and valve systems and lead to press performance and maintenance problems.

• Air Supply Flow - Use a minimum 12mm (1/2”) inside diameter line and fittings from the compressed air source to the press. Shop pressure ranging between 6 to 7 BAR (90 psi to 100 psi) is acceptable. Inadequate air flow will affect press performance.

• Air Consumption - Air consumption in automatic mode is about 4.5 liters of compressed air per cycle. Average air consumption running at 20 KN (4500 Lbf) at 30 insertions per minute is about 7 liters/sec at 1 atm. (15 Scfm). Air Supply Flow requirements are higher than these values as air is only being consumed for half the time of each cycle.

• Piping Installation – Proper piping hookup will help achieve the above requirements. See figure 4-3 on the next page. Connect to your supply line with a pipe pointing upwards that curves over and down. This arrangement will help prevent water and compressor oil from entering the press. Connect to that drop with your supply fitting for a 12mm (1/2”) or larger hose. Continue the end of the drop to a drain valve. This will help collect additional water and oil and allow the system to be purged. If your factory air supply falls short of the above recommendations, an air reservoir tank of an appropriate size for your location can be used. An auxiliary filter/separator installed immediately outside the machine is recommended.

Install An Appropriate Power Cord.

• The press is equipped with a Male IEC 320/CEE22 Universal Connector for power. Outside North America, unless special arrangements have been made, a customer supplied power cord must be installed. No other electrical system modifications are necessary. Connection should be in accordance with your local electrical code.

Install The Foot Switch

• Plug the foot switch into the receptacle located at the lower left corner of the front of the electrical enclosure.

Check The Hydraulic Fluid Level In Both Air-Oil Tanks

• Check to be sure the hydraulic fluid is level with, but not over, the fill lines on the air-oil tanks. If the fluid level is too high or too low correct the problem by following the procedures provided in section eleven of this manual.

The function of a PEMSERTER



SERIES 2000



FASTENER INSTALLATION PRESS is

to safely, quickly and consistently install PEM brand self-clinching fasteners in various types of sheet material. To do this the press uses:

• A patented point-of-operation safety system that controls the descent of the ram and does not allow the ram to descend if it contacts any object other than the intended fastener and workpiece.

• Automatic fastener feeding system that locates the fastener at the point of insertion, so that the operator is free to handle just the workpiece.

• Air-oil-booster system that provides quick ram travel with high installation forces at the point of insertion.

• Precise installation tools and computer controlled installation forces.

Self-clinching Fastener Installations:

PEM self-clinching fasteners are installed into punched or drilled holes in ductile sheet material. To install a PEM self-clinching fastener:

• The shank of the fastener is placed into the installation hole until the part of the fastener that is larger than the hole called the displacer (such as the knurls for nuts, or the head for standoffs) sits on the edge of the hole.

• A parallel squeezing force is applied to press the displacer (overhanging part) of the fastener into the sheet material.

• The force causes the sheet material to cold flow into the undercut of the fastener that is between the displacer and the shank. This traps the fastener within the sheet metal.

23 of 119

Setting up the Press:

The following section of the manual describes the setup process in general. For details on setting up and operating the press see the appropriate section in the manual.

Step 1 - Setup Tooling

Tooling setup consists of selecting appropriate tooling for the fastener being fed and the workpiece, installing the tooling on the press and adjusting the feed controls.

Different types of tooling that feed the same size fastener are selected for accessing different shapes and sizes of work pieces.

See the Tooling Section of this manual on selecting the right tooling.

Step 2 - Select the Setup for the Tooling and Fastener on the Touchscreen

Once the tooling is installed, the next step is to setup the press by using the touchscreen. The touchscreen setup is simple and can be done one of three ways.

• New Tool Set-up – Choose tooling mode, fastener size and workpiece material.

• Recall A Job – Select from a previously programmed Job stored in the press

• Recall Last Job – Run the same Job that was just run, the press remembers, even if it is

turned off between jobs.

See the Touchscreen Controls section of this manual on choosing the right selections for setup.

When the selections are complete, the press automatically sets the values for operation and moves onto safety setup.

Step 3 - Safety Setup

The next step is very quick and simple but very important. Safety Setup is the step where the press learns the position of installation called the Safety Set point. The operator positions the materials for an installation, but the press does not actually install the fastener. The ram extends and touches the fastener and workpiece. The touch point teaches the press where the proper installation point should be. The Press is ready to install fasteners.

24 of 119

Fastener Automatic Feed Functions:

Automatic Fastener Feeding is done from the vibratory feeder bowl to the insertion point in the workpiece. The following steps are taken:

• The vibratory feeder bowl moves the fasteners around the bowl and past a tooling component called a nutgate for nut-type tooling or an escapement for stud-type tooling.

• The fasteners are oriented in the tooling and fed into a tooling shuttle. The shuttle takes the first fastener and separates it from the rest. That fastener is blown with compressed air out of the shuttle into a plastic tube that leads to the punch and anvil area.

• Depending on the type of tooling the fastener is either fed directly into a tooling module like a stud-injector module or bottom feed nut module or into a set of jaws on the top feed slide and gripper system.

• During a top-feed tooling installation, the fastener is picked up from the jaws either by a vacuum punch or pin punch and the jaws open and pull back.

• The workpiece is placed with the installation hole onto either a fastener or tooling guide pin. When the operator has located the workpiece, the foot pedal can be depressed to begin the installation process.

Installation Process:

• When the foot pedal is depressed, the ram extends down quickly bringing the punch to the workpiece.

• When the fastener contacts the workpiece the safety sensors are tripped. The Press Control System checks that the position called the insertion point, is at the same position as the learned position at setup, the safety set point. Only if the insertion point is within a certain range of the safety set point, does the installation proceed.

• If the insertion point is good then the high installation force is applied to install the fastener and the ram returns up.

25 of 119

Special Features and Conditions:

• Dwell/Force Verification (Quality Assurance System) – Dwell time is the period of time

from when the press control system starts the high force cycle to when the high force cycle ends. The Dwell software system monitors pressure feedback signals throughout the cycle to assure a quality installation.

• Soft Touch Mode – When running in Soft Touch Mode the press will slow down just before

contacting the workpiece and fastener. This mode is slightly slower, but can insure against damage to soft and brittle work pieces.

• Interrupted Mode – When running in Interrupted Mode the press will slow down and stop

upon contacting the workpiece and fastener. This mode is the ultimate in assurance just before installation that a workpiece or layers of work pieces are properly aligned.

• Setpoint Tolerance – Can be selected for Standard Tolerance or Narrow Tolerance. Narrow

Set point Tolerance sets a smaller range for the allowed deviation of each installation from the Safety Set point. Narrow Tolerance is used for smaller fasteners and more precise operations to assure proper installation in the workpiece hole. This mode is less tolerant of work pieces not held level and poor hole quality or hole debris.

• Start at Minimum Setup – This mode changes the setup sequence. Instead of pre-selecting a

force at setup, the press interrupts the dwell time of the first installation and allows the operator to adjust the force as the fastener is being installed. This function allows for the most precise installation force setup. Once the installation force is established, it can be saved within one of the Recall Job memory locations.

• Fastener Length Monitoring (FLM) – This mode requires optional tooling hardware to be

installed. During the automatic fastener feeding process for long fasteners such as stud and long standoffs, the length of each fastener is checked to insure that it is the correct length. If a fastener is too long or short, it is rejected and not installed. During shop operation, fasteners of different lengths can become mixed. Long fastener tooling is typically designed to accept various lengths of fasteners to increase the value of the tooling and decrease the costs of installing different size fasteners. FLM Hardware and Software can be setup to check for any length fastener.

• Safety Fault Error - If the difference between the insertion point and the safety set point is

outside the range of the set point tolerance then a safety fault error condition occurs. When a safety fault occurs the redundant safety valves close, immediately stopping downward ram motion. The ram reverses direction and retracts the punch. The safety assembly on the end of the ram never fully compresses and the boost cycle is never initiated.

6.8 Safety Setup Procedure Screens

If the press was setup in a fastener feeding mode, the system will automatically feed a fastener to the insertion area.

This screen directs the operator to check that the fastener and workpiece is properly setup for the safety position learn sequence and directs the operator to initiate the sequence. The instructional text may differ, depending on the tooling mode selected.

It is very important that the fastener and workpiece be held flat to the top of the anvil. (see Section 10)

The last step of each every sequence directs the operator to Depress The Footpedal. The Ram will extend down and touch the fastener and workpiece and return back up, without installing the fastener. The PLC uses this step to learn the position at which it is safe to install, called the Safety Setpoint.

It is very important that, at the bottom of the ram stroke when the ram contacted the fastener and the work piece, that the fastener was fully in the workpiece hole and both were flat to the anvil. If this did not occur, use the Re-setup function on the run screen to repeat the process. See 6.9 Run Mode Screen for Re-Setup details. (see Section 10)

This screen functions as a main control panel while the press is operating in production mode. Various buttons and displays on the screen perform the following functions:

[ENABLE SOFT TOUCH] – This button will turn the Soft Touch mode on and off. With SoftTouch mode ON the ram will decelerate before contacting the fastener/workpiece and coast to a stop immediately before collapsing the safety housing (note that all of the safety features are still operational during this mode). Once the ram has come to a stop, the booster turns on to complete the high force installation process. Soft Touch mode is suggested when installing into soft materials (i.e. PCBs) or during applications where hard installation marks are detrimental to the workpiece.

[CONTINUOUS/ INTERRUPTED CYCLE] – Button/Display, Displays what mode the press is operating in Continuous Cycle Mode or Interrupted Cycle Mode. Touch this button to toggle between the two modes.

Continuous Cycle Mode – When the operator depresses the foot pedal, the ram will complete a full insertion cycle, extend, insert the fastener and return.

Interrupted Cycle Mode – When the operator depresses the foot pedal, the ram will extend, STOP and WAIT. When the operator depresses the foot pedal again, the ram will insert the fastener and return. This provides for some specialized applications, the opportunity to examine or adjust the fastener/workpiece positions just before the actual insertion.

46 of 119

[STANDARD/NARROW SETPOINT TOLERANCE] – Toggles the Setpoint Tolerance window from Standard to Narrow. Standard tolerance allows for normal variations of workpiece and fastener dimensions and operator handling of the workpiece. Narrow tolerance requires more precise dimensions and operator handling. A narrow tolerance is typically used for the most delicate workpieces with consistent thickness.

[ENABLE SAFETY FAULT AUTO RESET] – This button turns Auto Reset function on and off. In Auto Reset mode, if a safety fault occurs, the operator is not required to touch the screen to reset. These two safety faults are automatically reset:

Safety Sensors tripped ABOVE setpoint, during Run mode, the ram contacted something before it reached the minimum allowable insertion distance.

Safety Sensor tripped BELOW setpoint, during Run mode, the ram did not contact anything before it reached the maximum allowable insertion distance.

[ENABLE VACUUM CHECK] – This button will turn the Vacuum Check function on and off. If the press is operating in stud mode, this feature will check for the presence of the fastener on the vacuum punch.

[ENABLE STUD-IN-TUBE SENSOR] – Toggles whether stud-in-tube sensor is checked during stud or long-standoff mode. Dark is ON and enabled.

58 of 119

Enabling this function increases the power stroke of the ram from its default setting of approximately .100 in (2.5 mm) to .400 in (10 mm). If the preset force is not achieve within .400 in (10 mm) of power stroke the press will fault displaying error code (73) ”FORCE STROKE BEYOND SAFETY LIMIT.” This function is enabled / disabled through the enable / disable button located on the tool testing screen accessed through the maintenance screen. Once enabled this function will stay enabled until one of the following occurs:

1. The function is turned off by disabling the function with the enable/ disable button

located on the tool testing screen accessed through the maintenance screen.

2. The main power to the press is turned off.

CAUTION - Enabling this function allows an extended high force stroke. Care should be taken to ensure that the tooling and setup are appropriate for the force set. Extended Boost stoke at high forces can create a side loading condition which could damage tooling or cause a hazardous condition. Never use extended boost with tooling or setups not specifically design for this function. Never run the press in extended boost mode when it is not needed.

6.19 Top Feed Slide Timing Adjustment Screen

This screen allows the operator to adjust the timing of the top feed slide in automatic, top feed nut and standoff mode. During the top feed nut and standoff sequence, the fastener is picked up by the punch. The pick-up is accomplished by the ram moving down, passing a pin on the punch through the hole of the fastener. As the pin is passing through the hole, the top feed jaws are opened and the slide is retracted. The timing of this process must be relatively precise, in order for the fastener to be picked-up properly. The adjustment made on this screen sets the opening of the jaws and retracting of the slide to occur earlier or later. The ideal location of the fastener is in the middle of the pin.

The top of the dark bar indicates relative position of the fastener not actual.

[↑↑↑↑] – Moves the relative location of the fastener on the pin higher. (Open jaws later).

SECTION 7

PNEUMATIC-HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

A. THE PNEUMATIC SYSTEM

Initial Air Entry

• Your factory air supply should be clean, dry and, ideally, have a high flow capability. Airline

feeds smaller than 12mm (1/2”) will increase cycle time.

• Factory compressed air, set between 6 and 7 BAR (90 to 100 psi), enters the system through

a manually adjusted filter/regulator which is mounted on the back of the machine.

• After passing through the filter/ regulator, the air is distributed into three areas.

• 1) The 1/4” (6mm) line which leaves the manifold is used for various machine functions,

which manipulate, transport, and position fasteners. It supplies an 8-valve manifold located under the Feeder Bowl. See section nine for additional information.

• 2) The 1/2” (12mm) line which leaves the manifold first supplies a pilotted pressure

regulator. With this regulator the operator or setup person can adjust the fastener insertion force from the touch screen.

• From the regulator, the air is routed to the right valve of the “Ram Valve” assembly, a two

position, four way valve, which switches it to move the Booster cylinder. It is sometimes referred to as the “high pressure” valve because the pneumatic energy is converted into mechanical energy which is used to create the ram’s high pressure squeezing force.

• 3) The 1/2” (12mm) line then supplies the left valve of the Ram Valve assembly. This 3-

position, 4-way valve switches the air to both Air-Oil tanks. The upper coil, when energized (note indicator light), supplies the left tank, causing the ram to retract (up). The lower coil supplies the right tank, causing the ram to extend (down). When neither coil is energized, the valve exhausts both tanks, relieving the oil system of residual pressure.

Air Exit

• Air exiting the air-oil tanks is routed to an air/oil separator, which is located at the bottom

rear of the press.

• The purpose of the separator is to collect any oil vapor suspended in the air stream. Oil

collects in the reservoir, which is emptied as necessary.

70 of 119

B. THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Pushing The Ram Down

• As pressurized air flows into the right (extend) tank, it causes hydraulic fluid, at air pressure,

to flow into the top of the ram cylinder, forcing the ram down.

• As the ram comes down it forces the unpressurized hydraulic fluid below the ram back into

the left (retract) tank.

• With the ram safely in the down position, the hydraulic pressure, which forced the piston

(ram) down, is increased by the air-powered booster to provide the insertion force.

Pushing The Ram Up

• Booster (air) pressure is removed by the right hand Ram valve assembly (high pressure

booster valve), and the booster retracts.

• As pressurized air flows from the left Ram valve, into the left (retract) tank, it causes

hydraulic fluid, at air pressure, to flow into the bottom of the ram cylinder, forcing the ram up.

• The left valve on the Ram valve assembly also exhausts the air pressure from the extend

tank, thereby allowing the hydraulic fluid on top of the ram to become unpressurized. As the ram comes up, this unpressurized fluid is pushed back into the tank.

FASTENER INSTALLATION

PRESS uses high voltage electrical power. Only trained and authorized personnel may

attempt to maintain, service, or repair its electrically powered subsystems, components or parts. When performing maintenance on the machine, the hydraulic door should be closed before opening the electrical enclosure.

After powering the press down using the off button, be aware that shock dangers still

exists due to the power filter is still electrified.

The electrical panel enclosure requires a special key to open. The purpose of this feature is to protect the machine from unauthorized persons tampering with the system and to help prevent unauthorized and untrained personnel from receiving an electrical shock. We suggest the key be kept by a manager/supervisor who will properly control its use.

AC Power Distribution:

The press is protected by a two-pole main circuit breaker.

The inline AC power entering the press is routed to the following 2 areas:

• A DC power supply, that powers the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), and other

related electronic devices.

• The vibratory bowl driver controller.

DC Power Distribution:

• The DC power from the power supply feeds the power supply serving the PLC. Through

various sub-circuits, it also feeds the sensors and other inputs, the Touch Screen, and the output card of the PLC which uses the power to turn various loads (outputs) on and off.

• The controller of the press electronics system is the PLC. The PLC receives input from

sensors located throughout the machine which tell it the status of operations at any point. The PLC controls air valves which, in turn, control most of the machine’s activities, including the tooling which transports and positions the fasteners.

• There are 3 DC fuses. They protect (1) the Touch Screen, (2) the sensors, and (3) the air

pressure regulator.

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

(Note: Most of the items mentioned below are illustrated in section two of this manual.)

Name Location Purpose

PLC INPUTS:

Emergency Stop (Input 0) Safety Sensor 1 (Input 1)

Emergency Stop Circuit Detects that the Emergency Stop button has

been pressed and stops the program. Left side of ram, under cylinder inside front enclosure.

An optical beam sensor which tells the PLC

when the ram’s “safety” has made contact

with an object. Depending upon where, along

the ram’s travel, contact was made, the PLC

will “decide” whether to proceed, or to stop

and retract the Ram.

Safety Sensor 2 (Input 2)

Fastener Sensor (Input 4)

Right side of ram under cylinder inside front enclosure. Attached to the tooling near the bowl. (Used for Stud-In-Tube and FLM sensors.)

Another optical beam sensor which tells the

PLC when the ram’s “safety” has made

contact with an object. (For redundancy)

Stud-In-Tube ring sensor turns ON when a

long fastener enters the tubing and is ready to

be blown to the insertion tooling.

FLM System sensor turns ON when a fastener

that matches the setup length is blown into the

staging chamber on the shuttle.

Safety Relays ON (Input 7)

Electrical Enclosure Checks that DC power is ON to hold the

safety valves open when the safety sensors are

clear and ON. Checks that DC power is OFF

to close the safety valves when the safety

sensors are blocked and OFF.

Validate Relay ON (Input 8)

Electrical Enclosure Checks that DC power is ON to hold the

safety valves open during a valid installation.

Checks that DC power is OFF to close the

safety valves during a safety fault.

Foot Switch (Input 9) Vacuum Switch Top Feed (Input 10)

Floor When pressed, the foot switch initiates an

insertion cycle. Inside the main cylinder enclosure to the right of the main cylinder.

When using top feed tooling, the vacuum

switch informs the PLC that a fastener is

ready for insertion. The switch is activated

when a fastener is being held on the bottom of

the ram punch, due to the vacuum created by

the vacuum generator.

Enhances redundancy of control of safety

valves.

Always held open allowing hydraulic fluid to

flow to the top of the main cylinder and move

the ram down. In case of a safety fault, the

valves close very rapidly to shut off the oil

flow, causing the ram to stop its downward

movement.

A solenoid that flows air into the down tank

(the right side hydraulic fluid reservoir). This

forces oil from the tank, through the booster,

through the safety valve, to the main ram

cylinder to move the piston/ram down.

A solenoid which allows air from the electric

pressure regulator to flow to the booster

cylinder. The air in the booster creates the

ram’s high “squeezing” force.

A solenoid that flows air into the up tank (the

left side hydraulic fluid reservoir). This forces

the oil from the tank, under the main

cylinder’s piston. This action, in turn, pushes

the piston/ram up.

Enables the PLC to turn the bowl on and off.

The adjustable audio signal is used to inform

the operator that a work piece is finished

and/or that a batch has been completed, or of

a Safety Fault.

Exhausts any air pressure, capable of causing

any motion of the Ram or Tooling

Flows air to a vacuum generator which creates the vacuum used to hold a fastener against the punch. The punch is installed on the bottom of the ram. Flows air to the shuttle cylinder to move back and forth to acquire a fastener and then deposit it at the mouth of the tube.

The air is used to help align fasteners with the bowl escapement tooling, and to create a vacuum used to pull the correctly oriented nuts into the escapement. Flows air to the Slide cylinder to extend or retract the slide from under the punch

Used for Stud type feeding, to blow a fastener up into a receiving area prior to the shuttle moving back for the next fastener. Once the Shuttle has moved, the fastener drops into the mouth of the tube. Flows air to blow fasteners through the tubing to the punch/anvil area (front tooling).

Flows air to the gripper assembly during top feed operations. The gripper assembly rides on the slide assembly. Its jaws will be closed in order to hold a fastener in position under the punch. The jaws will open when the punch is able to hold the fastener. Flows air to the Pusher cylinder in the bottom feed module. The module pushes the fastener out to the anvil point, in position for insertion.

TOOLING SET-UP

Tooling

The PEMSERTER® Series 2000® Fastener Installation Press can be equipped with interchangeable tooling in order to properly install numerous types of PEM® fasteners. Series 2000™ Tooling refers to components that are installed onto the press that are specific to automatically feed and install different types of fasteners in different ways.

Manual versus Automatic Tooling

Manual tooling refers typically to the punch and anvil set that is used to install the fasteners. Placement of each fastener into the workpiece hole is done by the operator. Only moving the ram down and the installation stroke is controlled by the press. Automatic tooling refers to the set of specific components that orient the fasteners feeding from the vibratory bowl to the automatic punch and anvil that allow the operator to locate the workpiece properly and carry the fastener into the workpiece hole. The press handles the entire sequence. In Automatic Feed Mode the operator only handles the workpiece.

Manual Tooling

The two tooling components that exert the installation squeezing force are called the Punch and Anvil. Typically the punch is the moving element, installed in the end of the safety adapter at the end of the ram. The anvil is the stationary element installed in the anvil holder at the bottom of the press throat. In a typical installation, the punch pushes the displacer into the workpiece and the anvil supports the other side of the workpiece and provides the reaction force.

Different Punches and Anvils are selected for different types, sizes and materials of fasteners. The shape of the punch and anvil differ to account for the different shapes in fasteners. However, for many fastener applications a flat surface punch is used. Anvils are more varied. For instance, for studs, an anvil with a hole in the middle is used to accept the long body of the stud. An anvil with a different diameter hole is needed for each different size of the stud in order to support the material properly.

Specific tooling is sometimes required to accommodate different sizes and shapes of workpieces. There are different length punches and anvils to reach or accommodate workpieces . There are different diameter or special featured punches and anvils to accommodate different workpiece material and thickness.

Automatic Tooling Set Selection

There are different types of automatic feed tooling to feed different types, sizes and materials of fasteners. There are even different types of automatic feed tooling to feed the same fasteners.

PEMSERTER® Series 2000® Automatic Tooling consists of a number of basic types.

• Top Feed Tooling - feeds the fastener to the Slide/Gripper Assembly at the top of the throat.

The workpiece is located and the hole centered on an automatic feed anvil. When the press is actuated the fastener is put on the end of an automatic feed punch and carried down to the waiting workpiece for insertion. This type of tooling is available for various nuts, studs and standoffs, as well as special fasteners.

• Double Stroke Bottom Feed Nut Tooling - is for nut-type similar to Top Feed Tooling except

that the workpiece is not placed on the anvil before the press is actuated. During this mode the fastener is fed to the Slide/Gripper Assembly. When the foot pedal is pressed the first time the nut is carried down to the anvil and deposited on the anvil, shank up. Then the workpiece is placed onto the fastener shank. When the foot pedal is pressed the second time the installation process is started. This type of tooling is used when the installation side of the workpiece is not accessible by the punch and the anvil length and shape is required to accommodate the workpiece.

• Injector/Bottom Feed Module Tooling - does not feed the fastener to the Slide/Gripper

Assembly. Instead the fastener is fed directly into a punch or anvil module. For stud-type fasteners this is called an Injector Module and it is installed in the safety adapter. The stud is fed out to the injector module, the workpiece is located on a top-feed type anvil and the stud is carried down by the injector module and inserted. For nut-type fasteners a Bottom Feed Nut Module is installed on the anvil holder. The nut is fed out to the Bottom Feed Nut Module, the module is actuated by the Bottom Feed Cylinder and the fastener is pushed out into place. The workpiece is located on the shank of the fastener like Double Stroke Bottom Feed Nut Tooling. The punch comes down and does the insertion. These types of tooling are used for applications where the shape or size of the workpiece can be accommodated by the type of module tooling.

Tooling Mode Selection on the Touch Screen

During the setup selection process of the press, the tooling mode must be selected on the touch screen. The tooling modes available are:

[MANUAL NUT] [MANUAL STUD] [TOP FEED NUTS/SO] [BOTTOM FEED DOUBLE STROKE] [BOTTOM FEED NUTS] [STUDS/BSO] [STUDS INJECTOR] [LONG STANDOFFS] [PF] [TOP MOUNT ANVIL - NUT] [TOP MOUNT ANVIL – STUD] [CUSTOM]

NOTE: For Standoff Fasteners different tooling modes are selected based on size and

type. Choose:

[LONG STANDOFFS] - if the standoff length is long like a stud and the tooling

components have a stud-type shuttle with round tubing and a pin punch

[TOP FEED NUT/SO] - if the standoff length is short and looks like a nut and the

tooling components have a nut-type shuttle with rectangular tubing

[STUDS/BSO] - if the standoff is long or blind (no thru hole) and the tooling

components have a stud-type shuttle with round tubing and vacuum punch Top Feed Nut Tooling

Tooling Component Installation

Stud Escapement and Nut Gate

• The purpose of an escapement is to properly align the fasteners so that other tooling can

deliver and position them at the ram/anvil area, properly positioned for insertion. Escapements are installed on the outside/top part of the vibratory bowl.

• The escapements used with nuts have two parts: (1) the first part of the escapement is called

the nut gate adapter. The nut gate adapter is placed upon the escapement adapter with two positioning pins. (2) The second piece is called the nut gate. The nut gate provides a “fastener-specific” machined channel which will funnel only properly aligned nuts to the shuttle. The nut gate is positioned on top of the nut gate adapter with the same two positioning pins and is secured in place with one thumb screw.

81 of 119

• The escapements used with studs are “stud specific”. The escapement is mounted onto the

“escapement adapter” with the nut gate adapter removed.

• After mounting an escapement, push the “puffer” air hose into the escapement air intake

connector. The puffer has two functions: (1) to blow excess and misaligned fasteners off the top part of the bowl’s ramp, back into the bowl and; (2) to create a slight vacuum (only when inserting nuts) which helps pull the nuts into the escapement channel.

• Adjust the puffer air pressure by turning the puffer’s flow-control knob. Excess/Misaligned

nuts and studs should be blown back into the bowl, while correctly oriented nuts should be gently drawn into the channel This knob is located below the escapement mounting area.

Shuttle And Tube

• The purpose of a shuttle is to move the fasteners, one at a time, from the escapement to the

mouth of its mated plastic tube which will then transport the fasteners to the punch/anvil area.

• To prevent fasteners from becoming misaligned, each shuttle and each tube is designed to be

part specific. For this reason the shuttles are typically left attached to their mated tubes and handled as one assembly.

• When installing a shuttle: (1) attach it to the shuttle air cylinder. This air cylinder is mounted

on the same bracket that will support the shuttle after it is installed. The function of this air cylinder is to push and pull the shuttle’s slide back and forth. To attach the air cylinder to the shuttle, slide the shuttle’s clevis over the tip on the end of the cylinder rod; (2) position the shuttle over the two positioning pins then secure it in place with its one tee handle. Be sure to maintain a gap of about 1mm (.040”) between the shuttle and the escapement.

Tube Extension, Jaws, Punch

• Slide the punch into the bottom of the safety housing and secure it by tightening the two

setscrews.

• Slide the anvil into the anvil holder and tighten its mounting screw to hold it in position.

• Install the set of jaws on the gripper assembly. Locate each jaw using the two positioning

pins provided, then secure it by tightening its thumbscrew.

• For nut insertion, twist the tubing 180 degrees (so the nut will be positioned shank-side

down) and slide the end of the tube over the fitting on the left jaw

• For studs, slide the tube extension onto the end of the fastener delivery tube then insert the

tube extension into the tube hanger, (the tube hanger is part of the tool support assembly). Be sure stud tubing always runs through the Stud-in-Tube sensor.

Injector Module

• Slide the top of the injector assembly into the bottom of the safety housing. Tighten the two

setscrews to secure it.

• Slide the anvil into the anvil holder then tighten the setscrew to hold it securely.

• Install the fastener delivery tube by sliding it over the injector intake.

Bottom Feed Nut Module

• Attach the bottom feed tooling module to the top of the anvil holder. This is done in three

steps: (1) place the hole in the bottom feed tooling module’s slide, over the pin on the end of the cylinder rod; (2) place the hole in the bottom of the tooling module over the positioning pin on the anvil holder; and (3) tighten the two setscrews on the sides of the bottom tooling module to hold it in position.

• Only if you encounter fast/slow module performance adjust the air flow going to the cylinder

assembly (located on the back end of the anvil holder), by turning the air flow control knob. The knob is on the end of the cylinder assembly.

• Slide the end of the fastener delivery tube over the intake at the rear of the bottom tooling

module.

Top Mount Anvil Holder (OPTION)

• The top mount anvil module is for manual applications requiring 9000 lbs. (4082.4 kg.) or

less. The geometry of this anvil permits installation of parts into workpieces which need clearance underneath the anvil to be positioned properly.

• Remove standard punch and anvil.

• Remove the gripper hanger assembly from the frame by unscrewing the four (4) socket head

cap screws with a 3/16” Allen wrench.

• Remove the wall mount pipe clamp closest to the hanger assembly by unscrewing one (1)

socket head cap screw with a 9/64” Allen wrench.

• Use four (4) 1/4-20 bolts to secure the top and bottom portions of the mounting block (P/N

8004280 and 8004281 respectively) to the frame using a 3/16” Allen wrench. Do not tighten.

• Reinforce top and bottom mounting blocks by screwing 1/2”-20 bolts into the frame. Do not

tighten.

• Unscrew the rosette style lock knob found on the left side of the mounting block assembly so

the pin provides clearance for insertion of the anvil holder. Insert the anvil holder until it stops. Hand tighten the rosette knob to secure the anvil holder in place.

• Install 1/4” anvil (P/N 975200722025) and 1 1/2” punch (P/N 8004414). The punch length

should not exceed 2.” In the Maintenance Mode, accessed from the 2000 touchscreen, jog the punch on top of anvil and physically line up, then tighten. Jog ram down to confirm alignment between punch and anvil. Jog ram to home position.

83 of 119

• Once aligned torque all bolts to 150 foot-pounds (203.4 N/m). Jog ram down to ensure

alignment after tightening.

• The mounting block of the top mount anvil holder is designed to mount the gripper hanger

assembly for automatic feeding, thus eliminating the need to remove the mounting block.

• The anvil must be removed to install the hanger assembly. Unscrew the rosette style knob to

disengage the pin from the anvil allowing it to slide.

• Remove the anvil.

• Mount the hanger assembly to the mounting block and secure it with one (1) SHCS with a

3/16” Allen wrench.

• Follow the alignment procedure for the hanger assembly outlined in Document P/N 8006092,

Pemserter® Series 2000® Alignment Procedure for Gripper/Slide Hanger Assembly (P/N

8010944) and Anvil Holder.

Fastener Length Monitoring System (OPTION)

• The Fastener Length Monitoring (FLM) System is a system that checks the length of stud-

type fasteners such as studs and long standoffs and only installs fasteners that passes the check. The system attaches to stud-type shuttles and plugs in the port on the vibratory bowl plate in place of where the Stud-In-Tube sensor plugs in.

• The FLM system consists of a sensing unit that uses two sets of optical sensors that look at

the end of the fastener when it is staged in the shuttle for feeding out to the installation area of the press. If the sensors do not receive the correct combination of signals for a correct fastener then the press control system, feeds the fastener out to the top feed slide and gripper system and drops the part instead of installing it. The press control system then attempts to seek a new correct fastener.

• The FLM hardware can be set-up to any standard length fastener.
