Inline Pallet Brazing Machine
375 parts per hourAn inline processing brazing and soldering machine for brazing two tubes to an aluminum condenser. A robot is integrated to load and unload aluminum condenser cores. Independent fixture carts move parts between stations for various operations, allowing different cycle times at each station. A laser was integrated to measure tube locations, passing position information to subsequent stations.
