Kistler Instruments' NCFT 2157A electromechanical joining module is suitable for applications where precise positioning and reliable repeatability must be combined with small joining forces.
The module is ideal for manual and automated assembly of small and miniature components such as inserting small bearings and gear wheels into miniature gearboxes.
The module uses integrated force-displacement monitoring for quality assurance throughout the joining phase.
The integration of the piezoelectric force sensor allows each module to cover two switchable measuring ranges.
Three options are available, each offering two switchable force ranges up to a maximum of 0.25kN, 0.5kN and 1kN.
The high 0.5um resolution is combined with a stroke speed of up to 300mm/s to maintain operational precision while enabling fast joining cycles and short return stokes.
The simplicity and the small size of the new module's installation allow high-density configuration of assembly jigs.
The associated force-displacement monitoring system displays the force-displacement curve in real time and the programmable analysis window allows all phases of the joining process to be continuously evaluated.
