B200(Clamp Type)
St. 1: Key blanks loading (magazine loading or bowl loading.)
St. 2: Dot matrix marking on the key blanks.
St. 3: Double side bitting.
St. 4: burs scraping & chips brushing.
St. 5: ringing keys in a ring.
The main design of this machine is using 4 clamps to move each key blank to each station for processing. This design requires more space as the layout, and it’s less effort and time efficient for changing fixtures and maintenance. If customers require more functions such as camera checking, tag marking and ringing, the machine can be designed into a bigger scale with more clamps for extra functions. However, transferring work piece (keys) by clamps takes more time than the linear type transferring.
B200(Linear Type)
1. Key blanks loading (magazine loading or bowl loading.)
2. Dot matrix marking on the key blanks.
3. Double side bitting (with burs scraping while pulling out he bitten key)
4. Ringing keys in a ring with chips brushing.
Above 4 mechanisms with 5 functions are made in a small space shown like the attached layout. The keys are transferred like the shown layout. So, the cycle time is very fast. However, due to the limit space, this type of machine can’t add more functions such as camera checking, tag marking, and ringing….
