Automatic double carousel machine for assembling and testing thermostats

The automation is an automatic double carousel line, this is because, since several and multiple tests were required to be carried out, it was not possible to create a single machine. Thus, in agreement with the customer, we split the automation into two separate rides.
The carousels are fixed pallet discs dedicated to housing the resistors. Between the two carousels there is a conveyor with mobile pallets that follows the movement of the elements between the two machines. The pallets on the conveyor are timed by stoppers for stopping and are dragged by a roller shutter system, all movements are performed by geared motors and cylinders operated pneumatically.
Along the line there are mechanical parts that carry out the manipulations on the thermostats, they are moved from one housing seat to another to differentiate the various tests. The tests are performed by thermostat adjustment heads and wiring on the various power points.
All tests are carried out by electronic instruments positioned along the line, the final test is performed in a real way, the thermostat is immersed in tanks containing water as in the specific final use. There are three tanks and each is regulated with different temperatures, this allows the system to calibrate the thermostats in different operating situations.
The line is fully automatic and has a production capacity of approximately 360 cycles per hour, the cycle is fully programmable via touch screen to set the type of tests to be followed, programs dedicated to the various models can be created and a database can be created.
