GUARDIAN

Confirms Positive-Pressure is present

The Guardian™ gives you wireless hydraulic pressure monitoring configured for your machine tool fixtures. Equipped with an IP 67 sealed pressure switch, sealed Fixture Transmitter and shielded industrial connectors; Guardian™ ensures positive pressure monitoring even in the harshest environments. Best of all, you will enjoy easy pressure monitoring with no interference issues.

The Simple Guardian™ installs with only four wires (two power wires and a pair of relay connected wires). It is a quick and clean installation needing no modifications to the machine tool control.

AUTO-COUPLER

Auto-coupler

Are you looking for a device that can take your automation applications to the next level? Meet the brand new Auto-coupler, the ultimate solution for coupling and decoupling fixtures with ease and efficiency. The Auto-coupler is designed to help you achieve greater levels of automation by removing the need for an operator to handle decoupled hydraulic/pneumatic fixtures. The Auto-coupler is packed with features that make it stand out from the rest. It can connect two pairs of hydraulic circuits and two pneumatic circuits at the same time, allowing you to control multiple fixtures with one device. It also has an integrated air blow off system that automatically cleans chips from the receiver, saving you time and hassle.

The Auto-coupler has a mechanical lock that securely connects and holds opposing hydraulic forces with a small cylinder, reducing the space and power requirements. The device also has self-alignment pins and rubber isolators that ensure a near perfect alignment in any condition, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of your applications. The receiver has a flexible design that allows you to mount the receiver on the bottom or rear face, or externally plumb it, depending on your application. The device also has two replaceable pilot operated check valve cartridges that are easily accessible on the top of the receiver, simplifying maintenance.

ROTARY UNIONS

Standard Features Single, Dual, Quad, 6, 8 and 12 Flow Path Models Rotating unions are a rotary connection, feeding pressure to fixtures while allowing full 360° rotation of the fixture with or without pressure. A machine or independent indexer may do this indexing. Rotating unions allow “live” hydraulic power to be supplied to fixtures during the machining cycle.

ROTARY UNION ARM

A robust, anti-rotation device for Vektek Rotating Unions keeping your hydraulics securely attached to the fixture! Rotary Union Arm • Rotary union interface

• Use on single or twin pallet machines where pallet travels parallel to spindle axis. • Telescoping members allow flexibility to adapt to your machine for easy installation.

eliminates premature rotary union failure by preventing the weight of the arm from applying damaging side loads to the rotary union.

PNEUMATIC CONFIRMATION SYSTEMS

Air Sensing Control Kit Adjustable air pressure and flow gives you the ability to monitor most confirmation valves, part present or clamp position systems.

The pneumatic confirmation valve confirms the stage of loading before or after clamping. It is adaptable to multiple devices including: swing clamps, link clamps, cylinders and supports. Avoid machine crashes by confirming specific actions before you cycle your machine. It is designed to be used in both coolant and dry environments and is easily mounted either vertically or horizontally. Confirmation at its finest! Confirm Clamp Stroke Position Pneumatically

Customer Made Actuator

ILS504089 REV C

Application Setup: Adjust actuator 0.025± 0.020 above valve body with clamp positioned at the bottom of clamping stroke. This will avoid valve and actuator damage if clamp over travels.

PART PRESENT SENSING WORK SUPPORT

Plungers stay retracted during part loading while air flow travels through the work support. Hydraulic pressure advances the plunger exerting only spring force as it makes contact with the part. This closes the integral air valve to indicate part is present and contacted. Hydraulic pressure then automatically sequences, “freezing” the plunger. Part Present Sensing Work Support: MOST ADVANCED IN THE MARKET!
