Description :
The Upland RLK-300 Ridgelock machine, designed and manufactured by Upland
Technologies,
is a self contained unit with a built in hydraulic power unit.
The Ridgelock machine consists of a hydraulic power pack to supply
hydraulic power, a
Ridgelock head, and sliding part fixture. The operator is protected by the
light curtains.
A work fixture for a part is mounted on a carriage. The carriage attached
to linear rails
slide by mean of a hydraulic cylinder over the Ridgelock tooling. The
linear rails ensure that
the Ridgelock fingers aligned and positioned correctly in relation to the
tubes and baffles
(i.e. partitions) to be ridge locked. The machine can perform pull type or
push type
ridge locking by simply changing the tooling adaptor. Changeover from one
set to Ridgelock
tooling to next, or from pull to push type tooling is quick and simple with
this machine. The
tools drop into the ridgelock head using the overhead crane.
As well, this machine will accept tooling for one of three inspection load
cells. The tools are
coded, so that the machine control will recognize the tooling set and will
set-up the
machine accordingly.
