PRO+ Matrix Table – 8 Vacuum Fields

By dividing the matrix table into 4 zones, reading the raw material size of the

incoming program and automatically concentrating vacuum pressure to the correct

area of the machine, the PRO+ solution is perfectly suited to handle the raw

material variance of today’s multi-faceted manufacturers. The machine is able to

automatically create 4 optimized vacuum zones: 4’x8’, 4’x10’, 5’x8’ and 5’x10’.

The vacuum fields that create zones A1 and A2 can also be semi-automatically

selected at the machine control.

Note: fixture board material (also referred to as “bleeder board” or “spoil board”) is not

supplied with the machine, but required at time of installation.

Vacuum System

 The machine design includes (4) four vacuum pumps with a total vacuum

capacity of 356 m3/h, 60 Hz. They are directly connected with the vacuum

table via a distribution device and one of the three vacuum generators

serves as master.

 The vacuum system is one of the largest electrical consumers of any

manufacturer’s machine. For this reason, the Vantech system utilizes an

Eco-Friendly design to conserve energy and on electrical costs. The pumps

operate from a “staggered start” to reduce the maximum draw of the

machine upon start up and single pumps can be switched off to save energy

when not required.

 Vacuum pumps are activated via soft key at the control panel,

outperforming common manual vacuum valve systems.

maximum operating life

 Fan cooled

 Central dust extraction

Multi-Zone Processing

The table and control interface on the Vantech machine is configured to

allow the operator to simultaneously load multiple programs at up to four (4)

zero points of the machine (number of zero points determined during

machine specification). The machine can then optimize drilling and routing

routines and run the multiple programs as a single file.

This is an important feature for those who may use the Vantech machine as a

“point to point” machining center or provide back-up to that style machine

already in operation on their shop floor. Customers who run 5’ x 5’ raw

materials (Birch Plywood for example) also like the feature because they can

run two sheets of raw material side by side in a single machine cycle.

Air Jet Agitation

Four flexible air jets are integrated into the extraction hood providing a cool, clean

and efficient machining area. Air jets are activated via soft key at the control panel.

Automatic Tool Change

To increase flexibility and decrease cycle time, an automatic, rotary tool changer is

arranged near the rear right of the machine framework.

Features:

 Tool holder: HSK63

 Magazine places: 13 tool places

 Tool weight: maximum 6 kg (13.22 lbs) including HSK cone

 Tool diameter: 130 mm max when equipped with tools

 Tool change time: approximately 10 - 18 seconds

Automatic Tool Loading Position

The Vantech provides a single point of interaction for loading and unloading the

tool changer. Operator efficiency is increased by allowing the machine to take

some of the responsibility for managing tooling. Tools are manually inserted into

the loading device, positioned close to the left front of the machine for easy access.

The machine retrieves the tool and selects the first available position in the tool

magazine, deposits the tool, and updates the tool database.

The system has proven an effective method for minimizing tool and machine

damage caused by errant manual loading of tools into the machine and/or incorrect

entering of data into the machine control. The process is reversed for removing

tools from the machine; the machine deposits tools in the loading position and

automatically removes the tool from the active tool database. The loading position

also utilizes a sensor to prevent the machine from depositing a tool in the position

while another tool is present.

Tool Length Control

A heavy duty tool length control system is a standard feature of the machine. To

maintain accuracy, tooling is touched off after a change via the tool pick-up station

and its length is verified against the tool data stored within the machine control.

12-Spindle Vertical Drill Block

 A vertical drilling block with twelve (12) spindles is included.

Pneumatic Side Reference Fences and Locating Pins

Supplementing the pneumatic reference pins delivered within our standard machine

configuration, full length solid fences serve as the means for locating materials to

the working zones of the machine. Paired with a pneumatic reference pin located at

the front right and front left of the machine, the system offers two “zero” points for

accurately locating raw materials. Fences retract during machining. When the

finished nest is ejected, the fences are raised again to help guide parts from the

machine table to the transfer conveyor at the end of the machine. Both the fences

and the pins are under down stroke surveillance to prevent the machine from

routing a fence or pin in the event of an incomplete cycle

Automatic Loading Device for Raw Boards

Porous Materials Loading Features

Consistent with Weeke’s reputation in the marketplace, the attention to detail

in the CONCEPT 2 loading system design from Weeke is second to none. In

addition to the industrial load/locate features of the Weeke system, we have

also paid a great deal attention to the machines ability to load and locate

porous materials. This is a challenge not considered by many customers until

machines have been delivered. The Weeke system utilizes two 10” diameter

Schmaltz vacuum cups integrated with both vacuum and compressed air.

Blowing the proper amount compressed air through porous raw materials

during the loading cycle allows the machine to retrieve the raw material

without picking up more than one sheet. The vacuum grippers can also be

setup to peel the raw sheet from the bunk and also shake the sheet prior to

loading to ensure not more than one sheet is being loaded to the machine

table (from vacuum bleed thorough or static between sheets).

The machine is equipped with a gantry mounted vacuum loading apparatus for

automatically loading non-permeable materials to the machine from a stack of

material positioned on a scissor lift at the left of the machine. Working in

conjunction with an intermediary section of roller conveyor, the side fences noted

above, and a sensor in the guide area, the machine is able to automatically load

itself, and accurately position the raw sheet for the start of the machining cycle.

Scissor Lift for Positioning Material for Automatic Loading

Weeke’s Concept #2 handling package utilizes a scissor lift to accurately

position materials for automatic loading with the gantry mounted vacuum

device. The lift features a 5,000 lb load capacity noting the ability to accept

roughly 32 sheets of 5’ x 12’ 3/4" particle board melamine material, based

on an estimated density of 46 lbs/ft³, the capacity of the lift and the elevation

of the machine table.

The lift platform is designed with 2 ½” diameter rollers set high on 4”

centers, 11 gauge, 58 ¼” overall width. (2) 30” long section mounted at each

end of the platform to allow (2) 14” spaces for fork lift access. (2) floor

mounted alignment columns – 1/2” base plate, 4” square tube upright and

3/8" face plate, 12” wide are included to provide means to align the bunk in

the long (X) direction. A full height, heavy phenolic plate is affixed to the

machine base to allow for accurate positioning in the short (Y) axis or width

direction. Once the material is loaded on the lift and aligned in (X) or length

axis by the fork lift, the operator guides the material by use of the roller

conveyor on the platform to the location of the phenolic plate to accurately

position the bunk in the (X) axis direction. Once the bunk is in position, the

operator accutates a pneumatic friction brake to lock the bunk in place.

Lift Platform Automatic Leveling Package: This feature automatically

brings the bunk of material to the proper elevation for loading. The lift is

wired to communicate with an adjustable photoelectric sensor and control

panel mounted to a stanchion. Panel includes Index On/Off selector switch,

lift Up/Down selector switch, and an E-Stop button. An adjustable timer is

included to delay (up to 10 seconds) the automatic movement of the

platform. A separate stanchion with reflector is also included for upper limit

switch for indexing up

The lift notes a lowered height of 12 3/8” to top of roller and a raised height

of 60 3/8”, noting a vertical travel range of 48”. The power unit is 1.0 HP

TENV electric motor and .85 GPM hydraulic pump, no-coast valving for fast

movement and decreased upward coast producing more precise positioning.

All pivot points are equipped with Teflon lined bushings, leg rollers feature

wear indicators.

Intermediary Roller Conveyor

Once material is retrieved from the scissor lift by the machine, it is carried

across a section of roller conveyor complete with protection to prevent

scratching of the raw materials.

Automated Push-Off of Finished Nests

To complete the “throughfeed” concept of the machine, the system utilizes a

gantry mounted push-off device to automatically eject finished parts from the

machine table without manual operator intervention. Once the nest is

complete, the machine returns to the loading side of the machine, drops its

push-off device and cycles from left to right, collecting finished parts and

waste along the way. The unit also contains a table cleaning sweep

integrated into the push-off to clean dust and debris from the spoilboard in

preparation for the next raw board.

Simultaneous Onload and Offload

To further increase the efficiency of the system, the machine is able to utilize

a simultaneous onload and offload feature, effectively unloading the finished

nest, cleaning the spoilboard, and loading the next raw sheet in a single

cycle.

Dust Extraction from Below

A bottom dust collection channel with blast gate is integrated into the machine

frame to collect dust from the nest as the parts are ejected from the machine. As

the vacuum from the table competes with the dust collection for the waste, some

dust will remain in the cut. The dust collection channel from below collects this

dust as the parts are pushed from the machine and onto the transfer conveyor. This

feature ultimately leaves less mess to manually clean at the end of a shift.

Transfer Conveyor

A conveyor belt receives the finished parts and automatically advances them to the

operator for sorting at the end of the table via communication with photo-electric

sensors. This allows the machine to process parts while the operator is unloading

the previous nest and prevents parts from being pushed off onto the floor if the

operator is not present to receive them. Minimum recommended part thickness for

consistent part conveyance is 12mm (1/2”).

Dust Collection from Above

The transfer table is also integrated with a dust collection hood from above to clean

residual dust from the top of the work pieces and the conveyor belt. This small

feature proves very valuable for those applying barcode labels or other methods of

identifying parts coming from the router, as the parts are free from much of the dust

and debris of the machining process.

Vantech Maintenance Kit

A tool kit is included with the machine consisting of: 46mm single open end

wrench, 58x62mm hook spanner wrench; grease gun with hose, grease and ball end

allen wrench set.
