The TOUGH GUN TT3E Reamer robotic nozzle cleaning station is enhanced by digital Ethernet communications to better integrate into companies' digital controls infrastructure.
Tregaskiss has introduced its TOUGH GUN TT3E Reamer, a robotic nozzle cleaning station enhanced by digital Ethernet communications to better integrate into companies' digital controls infrastructure. "The TOUGH GUN TT3E Reamer can reduce integration costs by up to $1,200 compared to analog reamer models by eliminating the need for an analog switch and reducing cabling requirements within the robotic weld cell," said a company spokesperson. "Plus, fewer components reduce potential failure points."
The reamer offers remote monitoring capabilities, allowing companies to oversee and troubleshoot the I/O of each reamer function and its allowable parameters through the programmable logic controllers (PLC), all in real time and without the need to remove the unit from the weld cell. This feature, along with error diagnostic and recording capabilities, minimizes troubleshooting downtime and supports greater productivity.
Featuring discrete control, the TOUGH GUN TT3E Reamer offers the flexibility to monitor and adjust all motions, along with insert recovery or fault control, further increasing productivity. In automatic mode, the reamer provides control over double-stroke, start-up dwell time and top-of-stroke dwell time. In manual mode, there is control over the sequence and duration of each function by firing individual I/O.
The TOUGH GUN TT3E Reamer offers users the flexibility to operate the system as a switch to link robots with a single Ethernet port to an Ethernet welder or other peripherals. It also features a single wiring harness for all wire connections and improved wire labeling, minimizing the risk of wiring errors during routine maintenance.
A 3/4 HP lubricated air motor with gear reducer offers the high torque necessary for spatter removal while operating at lower speeds to protect the spindle and cutter blade from excessive wear. The spindle has a rotating rod accuracy of 0.001" to 0.004" at its extended position, providing optimized, repeatable spatter removal.
External set-up switches allow independent operation of the sprayer, clamp and spindle during manual set-up, and the cutter blade lifts into position but does not spin when activated by the spindle set-up switch. Momentary manual override switches further increase safety.
