Single motor and pump with valves to operate the joiner

Hydraulic valve circuit has three settings

• Loop setting - oil is circulated from reservoir through the pump and back to reservoir
• Close setting - oil is directed to the cylinders to close the joiner/die
• Open setting - oil is pumped out of the cylinders back to the reservoir to open the joiner/die

Advantages of the Valve 
Operated Joiner:

• Electrical demands are reduced
  • 1. Inrush current during plug reversing is eliminated
  • 2. Amperage peaks are reduced
  • 3. Load to the motor starter is reduced
• A soft start can be used for the first few seconds of the cycle
• Standard NEMA or IEC motors are used
• Smaller breakers and line wires can be utilized
• The press can be jogged without adding stress to the motor
• A timer shuts the motor off a few seconds after the stitch is made, thereby reducing energy use
• A PLC interface is available

Remote Drive (valve drive only)

Single motor and pump with valves are remotely located to operate the joiner.

Single motor and pump with values to operate the joiner.

Hydraulic valve circuit has three settings:

1. Loop setting - oil is circulated from reservoir through the pump and the feedback.
2. Close setting - oil is directed to the cyclinders to close the joiner/die.
3. Open setting - oil is pumped out of the cylinders back to the reservoir to open the joiner/die

This style is shift locked in the same maner as the standard design, but will lock only in one direction.  Therefore, with this design the leading edge must always be on top or always be on bottom in order to work.

Ideal for operations which are joining a wide range of materials.  It can join thin materials with reduced risk of tabs breaking off of the strip.  It can join materials up to .250″ thick.

This style of stitch has four point locking, providing approximately twice the strength of the standard design.

The Tapered “T” punch has tapered sides to reduce the amount of scuffing and fines made during the shifting and locking of the stitch. It also has large engagement areas on the upper part of the T configuration. Larger overlap when the stitch is fully shifted is ideal for thin soft materials. The larger over lap resists bending and pulling apart when being wrapped around rollers.

Tension must be applied after making the stitch in order to shift lock it into position and prevent the material from coming apart. The stitch will lock if pulled from either direction.

Ideal for operations joining materials up to .1″ (2.5mm) where the extra strength of the arrow design is not needed.

This style of stitch has two point locking, providing approximately twice the strength of the standard design.

This design is not self-locking and requires that a precut strip or rod be inserted through the row of stitches to obtain a holding stitch.
