ENGINEERED
ELECTRICAL CONTROLS Engineered electrical and electronic
controls are the brains behind automated processing machines like
those you'll find here at Union Tool. They provide the accuracy,
precision and repeatability that make these machines profitable
and dependable.

WIRE
BRUSH MACHINE for brushed aluminum finishes Not exactly
a coater, but it does cover the surfaces of aluminum sheets with
a handsome brushed aluminum texture. Dual stainless steel brushes
apply a scratch finish texture on aluminum sheets to produce that
"brushed aluminum" look.

90°
TURN CONVEYOR SECTION A conveyor section that changes
the direction of the conveyor line 90 degrees to the left
or right while keeping the pieces oriented in the same direction
relative to the conveyor bed. Add two of these in sequence to turn
the line 180°. Versatile production line layout control.

CONVEYOR
ACCUMULATION STATION A conveyor line accumulation
station that holds flat panels such as printed circuit board substrates
as they come off a machine or conveyor and then releases them one
at a time to a downstream conveyor line or processing machine as
they are called for.

TRANSFER
ACCUMULATION CONVEYOR Transfers thin panels (e.g.:
printed circuit board substrates) from the outfeed conveyor of one
process (e.g.: curing oven) to the infeed conveyor of the next process
(e.g.: automated mask printer), while providing a 100-panel buffer
accumulator to even out transcient line speed fluctuations between
the two processes.

PCB
TURNOVER Model SS This in-line device turns printed
circuit boards over 180 degrees (180°) as they pass down the
conveyor on the processing or assembly line. It does this while
keeping the PCB registration holes in the proper position, and edge-handling
assures that the surface of the board is protected.

The illustration above shows a dozen Union Tool machines configured as a self-contained production line. All of the elements share the same pass line height, and are electrically connected so the entire line runs as a unit. Using flow control conveyor sections, Union Tool can not only link various processes together into a fully automated production line, but can do so making the most efficient use of your existing plant floor. If you have existing machines that you'd like to incorporate, we can design your new line around them; if you're building a new line from scratch, we can engineer a complete Union Tool solution from head to tail.
