Technical description 50 Pro WorkCenter:
For industrial mass production of O-Lok® connections, special machines Parflange® 50 PRO with O-Lok® sleeve feeder are available. This sleeve feeding device increases the productivity, particularly of high volume – single tube dimension jobs. In “Feeder ON – mode”, O-Lok® sleeves just need to be inserted into feeder rails. First cycle start is initiated by manually closing the safety cover. Then, all following cycles are started by pushing the tube into the pre-clamped dies. All other machine activities, like tube clamping, flanging, tube release, insertion of O-Lok® sleeves into dies, pre-clamping of dies and the operation of safety cover run fully automatic. The operator just is handling the tubes and refilling the sleeve-feeder from times to times with O-Lok® sleeves. In “Feeder OFF – mode”, the Parflange® 50 PRO operates like the Parflange® 50 BASIC without O-Lok® sleeve feeder. This mode is useful for maximum size flexibility and Triple-Lok® assembly. For quick changeover and safety reasons, the O-Lok® sleeve feeder is just switched OFF but not be removed from the Parflange® 50 PRO Work- Center. For operation of O-Lok® PRO machines, compressed air supply is required, even when sleeve feeder is not used.
