Hardware Insertion Machine – Auto-Sert Auto Touch

Auto-Sert – Auto Touch

The AS-7 machine comes with the Auto Touch screen utilizing Lookout Software. This software allows the operator to automatically set pressure and dwell by hardware and it can save up to 1,000 jobs. It also saves tonnage, dwell, ram stroke, air-on timer, batch counter reset and operation modes. The maintenance screen monitors running stroke and hour timers. With all of this the operator can work faster and with confidence.

Benefits and Features

• Uniform Hydraulic Pressure by Design — No variation in pressure from heat build-up. Hardware installed uniformly in thin, soft aluminum parts at low-pressure range down to 350 lbs. force. To install ¼-20 studs in stainless steel, the Auto-Sert AS-7.5 has capacity with power to spare.
• Reliable Safety System — Redundant safety system internally monitored by a micro-controller. Very sensitive pressure sensing device used, plus ¼” window of safety before full tonnage is applied by press.
• 20” Throat Depth Vertically and Horizontally — Design allows less restriction of movement around ram. 2” steel center mainframe. (Larger throat depth of 36” available at 7.5 and 10 tons)
• Quick Change Tooling — Minimal tools needed for tooling change.
• Built In Dwell Timer and Fastener/Batch Counters — Dwell allows time for material flow to form a stronger clinch with fastener. Can be set from 0 – 1 second in tenths. Excellent for stainless steel applications. Fastener and batch counters keep track of number of hardware in each part and part production. Operator is alerted to hardware forgotten in parts. This equals better quality control.
