The design of transfer tools is complex. The key decisions regarding costs, performance, and process reliability are already made in the layout stage.
According to the method plan, the throughput layout is the cornerstone for a smooth and efficient setup of the servo or transfer press. But this is where a lot of time is often invested—and even more time is lost.
This is because the meaning and use of the curves is often unclear. Clearance curves are particularly often positioned and applied incorrectly, but even the evaluation of rotating and shifting units is only possible to a limited extent. This leads to unnecessary queries, lengthy explanations and, in the worst case, even design changes or design modifications to tools that have already been manufactured. 👉 All of which is avoidable waste.
With a virtual, kinematic transfer simulation in the obviFLOW software, even the most complex sequences of a 3-axis transfer and all tool movements become visible and understandable for everyone involved. Online meetings allow experience from design, simulation, and manufacturing to flow together directly. This ensures that production start-up with the new tool runs smoothly, quickly, and safely.
