Dixon AO-700 Placer/Presses use an air-oil intensifier cylinder to place and press a wide range of piece parts. Parts are automatically oriented and fed into the press by one of several styles of feed systems. A standard feature on all Dixon models ensures positive escapement of the piece part into the placement jaws which then hold the part until it begins engagement in the workpiece. At this point, the high pressure hydraulic stroke is activated to complete the pressing cycle. A part sensing switch verifies presence and correct placement of the piece part. The pressing force is adjustable. Strokes up to 6 inches and forces up to 9 tons are standard. Other forces and strokes are available. When required, a load cell may be added to verify and record that the proper press force was applied.

 

Model AO-700 Series Placer/Presses complete Vibratory Feeder Bowl, Inline Feed Tracks, Heavy Duty C-Frame Mounting Structure, and Controls. Pressing forces up are available up to 9.4 metric tons, and placement strokes up to 150mm.

 

 

Dixon Placer/presses combine the placing and pressing operation into one motion. The placement head has a toggle action and provide up to 2500 pounds of pressing force (11.12kN). The pressing force increases rapidly during the last .50 inch (13mm) of placement stroke, this is ideal for short piece parts. A sensor indicates proper placement of the piece part.
