Kistler Staiger Mohilo NC joining module

The Kistler Staiger Mohilo NC joining module is suitable for force-displacement monitored assembly press-fit and joining processes in compact configurations.

The joining module consists of a robust case with integral piezoelectric force sensor for measuring both compression and tension. Its motor has an absolute encoder for exact positioning. The compression or tensile forces acting on the sensor’s piezoelectric measuring element generate a proportional electric charge converted by the integral charge amplifier into an analog voltage signal. The drive motor is an electronically commutated AC servo type handled by a matching controller to ensure constant speed. Standard functions such as block pressing, position pressing and force feedback controlled pressing as well as intermediate positioning are supported.

The system consists of the NC joining module, the evaluation system and the servo controller IndraDrive. A Profibus interface and an ethernet port for transmitting quality assurance data are standard. The positional and joining parameters can be edited directly using the system menus.

The Kistler Staiger Mohilo NC joining module is suitable for use in automated production systems. Its special design allows close workstation spacing. Throughput is speeded up by eliminating the usual need for timing. The module can be flanged onto the frame of the machine either vertically or horizontally. Mounting holes are fitted in the ram for connecting holding tools.
