SkyLine®
The process technology of the individual laser processing methods can be integrated into customized machines. Wolf's SkyLine® platform is available for this purpose.
The SkyLine automation platform is the basis for everything from stand-alone systems to complete transfer lines consisting of several production modules (automatic modules or manual workstations). Production modules can contain several modular stations, which can be designed to be quick-changeable if required. The hardware and software structure is also consistently standardized. SkyLine® stands for both to a high degree:
- Conversion flexibility
- Conversion flexibility
The typical workpieces fit into a shoe box, have high quality requirements and are produced in large quantities > 200,000.
Workpiece feed
Alternative interlinking is possible for SkyLine automatic modules (cell). The workpieces can be brought into the work area manually as follows:
- Pendulum drawers, motor-driven
- Rotary indexing table, motor-driven
In assembly lines, the workpieces are transported on workpiece carriers. These are moved into and out of the cells inline on a double belt conveyor.
Dimensions
SkyLine is flexibility with a system.
The standardized machine technology offers a range of size options, allowing a choice of widths from 800mm to 2200mm and depths from 1000m to 2200mm. With this flexible modular system, tailor-made special machines can be realized. The process technology for most laser processing methods can be accommodated in an AM 100 cell with a width of 1000 mm and a depth of 1000 mm.
Flexible assembly systems
Flexible assembly systems are planned and built on the basis of the SkyLine automation platform. The degree of automation is customizable. In hybrid assembly systems, residual manual activities are consolidated into a small number of workstations:
