They can also be suited for safety applications and feature sophisticated functions such as synchronisation, coordinated multi-axis operation, and
flying shear. In a dedicated intra-logistics model, versatile mechatronic drive units will carry out positioning tasks such as contact-free and gap-free accumulation.
Features of the ASDA-A2 include a built-in electronic cam function ideal for
flying shear, rotary cutoff and synchronised motion applications.
They made large
flying shear machines, used to cut strip steel into sheets, as the strip steel came off a steel plant rolling mill at many feet per second.
The
Flying Shear solution, part of the IndraMotion system, is a pre-engineered, IndraDrive-based solution for standard applications requiring simple configuration setup, saving integration, setup and operation time, the company says.
The flying shear used to cut Hexacomb panels to length consists of a saw and its motor mounted on an arbor plate, which in turn is pushed and pulled by a rodless air cylinder.
Aaron Gibbs, today a unit manager at Pactiv, was handed the assignment of reducing the failure rate of the flying shear's mechanism.
This keyword provides a
flying shear action, which gives an idealized multi-segmented motion profile for controlling the action of the lugs that collate the bars into groups.
