Transporter automates board cleaning process

Guyson has developed a new automated work transporter for its Kerry Ultrasonics Microsolve solvent cleaning systems.

Guyson has developed a new automated work transporter for its Kerry Ultrasonics Microsolve solvent cleaning systems.

By removing the need for manual movement of components through the process, Autotrans Mini allows throughput to be maximised while ensuring consistent cleaning quality from batch to batch.

Autotrans Mini will also reduce the problem of solvent "drag-out", the unintentional loss of cleaning solution when components are transferred through the cleaning process.

Losses are minimised because transfer speeds and dwell times are controlled automatically, significantly lowering system running costs over time.

An alternative to the multiprogrammable Autotrans Mk 4 unit, Autotrans Mini is a cost effective transporter providing preprogrammed vertical and lateral movement of loads up to 20kg.

For unmanned operation: "basket present" switches can be fitted, allowing component baskets to be picked up automatically from a feed conveyor and placed on an exit conveyor after cleaning.

Autotrans Mini is powered by AC motors providing high positional accuracy and a maximum speed of 3m/min in both vertical and horizontal directions.

External movement sensors ensure personnel safety and prevent damage to the system in the event of an obstruction.
