ITEM 26 – Assembly station

A smart hydraulic machine:

• Once the clamps are closed there won’t be any way to open them without willing (oil leakages are not involving the mechanical screw). Clamps can carry the electrode column for long time.
• The U shape give the possibility of approaching very easily sideways with the column and the new electrode
• The lateral opening gives the possibility to take the lifting plugs out very quickly and easily
• Lever clamping collar and cylinder to get a correct assembly and to set the required torque.
• This system allows the unscrewing of previously jointed electrodes.
• The electrode joining operation is driven by a PLC and requires the job of only one person.
• Automatic tightening sequence.
• The display shows the tightening torque that has been reached at the end of the operation.
