Compare
these productive features to any other window machine and you'll
see why the Kohmann Universal F1100 is the most sensible introductory
window machine available. |
Timed
Belt Feeder |
The timed
belt feeder can work 1-, 2-, or 3-up (3-up is optional).
The timed
belt feeder with oversized hardened cams gives
quiet and fluid movement of the lifters, reducing vibration
and extending the life of the cam and cam follower. The lifters
are made of light weight material, reducing mass and enabling
speed increases up to 15% compared to ordinary belt feeders.
The nylon lifters are adjustable both forward and backwards
making the feeding of irregular shaped cartons and material
very simple. The feed gates with carrier supports
have a nip distance of only 15mm (.6 inches) providing perfect
carton control enabling higher production speeds.
This feeder
processes foldig cartom materials and corrugated materials
up to 6mm thick.
The automatic
air suction control (optional) is carried out by the PLC control
of the machine and is programmed via the central input device.

1-up,
2-up
or 3-up (optional) |
Setting
the cycle is carried out by inputting the relevant information
via the PLC control panel. The drive of the cutting cylinder
is carried out by a direct drive, which alters the gearing of
the knife cylinder automatically. |
Precise
Squaring Section |
The
chain squaring section features a double spindle system
insuring the register chains remain absolutely parallel and
ensuring easy set up under all conditions even after years of
running. The carton side guides and top guides are made of 5mm
solid steel and are designed to remain in shape even
after the heaviest jams. The guides are specially treated
to protect against wear and corrosion. The rugged, 1/2
inch chain extends the life of the transport chain. |
Conveying/
Blank Transport
|
Blanks
are conveyed from the chain section to the delivery via a vacuum
belt and are held without guide bars, enabling optimum access
and shorter changeover times. The suction table is split in
two for two stream operation. |
Doctor
Blade
Glue System |
The
doctor blade glue system with side limiters meters
the proper amount of glue and presents it where it's desired.
There is no glue sling on chains or cartons
due to optimal coverage of the unit and its positioning above
the stereo cylinder, which also provides easier access
to the chain squaring and transport section. In the event
of a missing carton, a pneumatic cylinder lowers the
glue counter roller. The glue unit slides out
of the machine for quick and easy clean up. There is no glue
pan to clean. Total clean up can be accomplished in less
than ten minutes and glue consumption is dramatically
reduced
If one
or more blanks are missing, the suction table below the stereo
cylinder is lowered automatically to prevent glue from contaminating
the suction belts.
The stereo
cylinder is divided in the middle for two stream operation.
The glue application stereos can be prepared outside the machine
and then clamped to the stereo cylinder. When a job is finished,
the mounted stereo can be stored for repeat orders.

Window
Patching and Lining Station |
Even
delicately hsaped blanks are easily shingled onto this wide
transport belt. The height is infinitely variable via hydraulic
adjustment. The gap of the shingle is infintely variable via
potentiometer. The delivery can be moved away from the machine
to facilitate access to the knife station and fr roll changes. |

Materials |
The
vacuum cylinder is manufactured from a specially treated
PA 6 material for longest lifetime. Using synthetic
material instead of steel provides protection against
corrosion of the cylinder surace and piping system and
reduces weight, reducing energy
requirements and extending the lifetime of the cylinder
bearings. Positioning of the film relative to the carton
in the radial direction can be done while the machine
is running by means of a handle. |
Belt
Driven |
The
main drive utilizes tooth belts eliminating conventional
sprockets, chains and gears. This drive is much smoother,
requires no maintenance and eliminates the
central lubrication system assocated with ordinary drives.
Warn chains and stretched chains are a thing of the past. Registration
is greatly more consistent. |
Programmable
Logic Controlled |
The Kohmann
Universal F1100 is fitted with a PLC control. The control
makes the operating and monitoring functions much simpler.
This comprises the setting of the suction air control for
the timed belt feeder, as well as the photocells in front
for dust control in the chain section and the lowering of
the suction table when missing blanks are detected. A missing
film control and double sheet detector can be quoted as optional
attachments, which would also be set via the PLC control.
Setting
of the cut-off length of the window/lining material as well
as many more basic parameters are set via the PLC control.
The Universal
F1100 includes machine self-diagnostics and errors such as
open safety doors as well as basic machine operation is explained
through clear text and supported by graphic elements.

Upgradeable |
The
Kohmann F1100 can be equipped with options designed for specific
production requirements. Those options can be included at the
time of purchase of can be reftrofitted as your production requirements
change. |
