LM-16A Wire Forming Machine

Improved productivity, shortened setup time

• The 15-axis control is equipped with feed, rotated wire and quill, two swings, eight slides, and two R-servos.
• Includes a dual feeder roller to reduce feed pressure load applied to the wire.
• All slides use a crank mechanism for high speed.
• The high-speed R-servo reduces bending time.
• Integrates a high-speed wire rotation mechanism, which suppresses vibration to the utmost limit.
• The machine footprint has been reduced by about 40% compared to the conventional model, TM0-20M.

Improved operability with the MNO2 (MEC New Operation 2) programming software

• The MEC original MNO2 software easily organizes important statistics about the machine, including program flow, operating status of each axis, input/output, and jump, etc., as with our other spring machines.
• The latest servo motor control enables high resolution and enables precise operation.
• The motor sensor system makes every slide a sensor. It is possible to measure the presence/absence judgment with a touch sensor, coiling angle, free length, etc. in 0.001 mm (0.00004") units. The measurement results are displayed in tables and graphs, and easy correction control for each axis is possible.
• Highly efficient production is supported by a versatile production management and data collection functions.

Main options

We have a wide range of optional units to meet the varied needs of the user in the areas of post-processing and measurement:

• Outer coil diameter servo unit--adjusts diameter with a servo motor
• Air nipper unit--prevents wear and breakage of the quill
• Air grip--enables post-processing
• Reverse bending slide--bends in direction of the machine front
• Grip head unit--enables wire grip with R-servo
• Capacitance sensor--measures free coil length
• Camera sensor--measures free coil length, outer coil diameter, angle, etc.
