PAS-3i Palletization Alignment System
Palletizing and positioning of compaction tools - punch and die
The PAS-3i system is used for the high precision alignment of punches and dies on pallets of reference clamping
systems.
Modern production concepts manufacture punches and dies directly on pallets of reference clamping systems.
Often it is necessary to align punches and dies on pallets. This is the case when existing unpalletized tools
(existing tools) should be placed first time on pallets, or when newly produced tools have to be corrected
regarding the position to the pallet. Another important application arises from the necessary positioning of wire
cutted punches, which cannot be manufactured on pallets in the wire cut process.
The PAS-3i system moves according to the position deviations X, Y and C the compaction tool to the target
position (X=Y=C=0). The position deviations are measured in relation to the reference clamping system on a
coordinate measurement machine. Deviations in the die position in relation to the reference clamping system
will be calculated in the target position of the punch.
Adapted measurement and movement fixtures allow rapid and precise
translational and rotational displacement in the range of 1/10 micron
and 1 arc second. The alignment and fixing process can be reduced to a
few minutes.
Highest precision combined with a very easy user interface allow a
quick and best possible alignment of punches and dies on pallets of
reference clamping systems.
The PAS 3i supports all on the market available reference clamping
systems.
