All Franklin
fabricating systems are available with optional CNC gantry loading (or
unloading) and support software with smart pickup capabilities and servo
controlled positioning. Models with length capacities of 20, 40, and 60
foot lengths are available. The magnet lift system with variable power
control is compatible with light and heavy steel. A pneumatic suction
type lifting system is available for non-magnetic materials such as
copper or aluminum.The gantry software
recognizes the bin location of various cross sections stored in the
material storage area. Material sizes are stored in the Section Table of
the FMI Fabricator Program. The heavy duty bridge gantry is supported by
crane type end trucks. The heat-treated wheels are mounted on 4-bolt
flange bearings. The Gantry Runaway System is available with overhead
support rails or floor mounted rails for side loading of raw stock into
the bin locations. The gantry rails are available in infinite lengths.
The lift beam assembly is raised and lowered by a high torque rack and
pinion lift drive. Stack heights and material detection is provided by
photo cell units mounted full length of the lift beam.
CNC gantry systems is an optional feature on all
systems. Proven by application, the gantry will increase line production
by 40% to 50% compared to manual loading.
