Ring automatic conveyor line YS-HMG

The Straight-Curved Guide HMG is a new straight-curved guide that allows the same type of LMblocks to continuously move on straight and curved rails by combining the technologies of the LMGuide HSR and the R Guide HCR. it achieves drastic cost reduction through improvement of workefficiency at the assembly and conveyance lines and the inspection equipment and simplification ofthe structure by eliminating a lift and a table.

Freedom of Design

It allows free combinations of straight and curved shapes.Since LM blocks can smoothly transit between the straight and curved sections, various combina.tions of straight and curved rails can be joined into various shapes such as O, U, L and S shapesIn addition, HMG allows a large table to be mounted and a heavy object to be carried through com.binations of multiple blocks on a single rail or 2 or more LM rails. Thus, it provides great freedom of design.

Straight-Curved Seals

The Model HMG is available with seals that can be used for both straight and curved sections toprevent foreign materials from entering. These straight-curved seals provide sealing for both thestraight and curved sections, preventing foreign materials from entering the unit.

Shortened Transportation Time

Unlike the shuttle method, using HMG units in a circulating system allows workpieces to be placedwhile other workpieces are being inspected or mounted, thus to significantly improve process time.Increasing the number of tables can further shorten process time.

Cost Reduction through a Simplified Mechanism

Combination of straight and curved rails eliminates a lift and a turntable conventionally used forchanging directions in the conveyance and production lines. Therefore, use of HMG simplifies themechanism and eliminates a large number of parts, allowing the cost to be reduced. Additionallyman-hours in designing can also be reduced.
