Plug up unit

Oakley Industrial Machinery’s plug up unit is engineered for seamless integration at the end of the filling process. This device automatically assembles the plastic plug onto the upper terminal pin of filled heating elements. This is a crucial step to prevent magnesium oxide leakage.

Once the operator loads the filled heating elements into the machine, the plug up unit operates autonomously.

Advantages

The concrete advantages that make the difference

High Efficiency

Faster and more reliable capping compared to manual operation.

Precision and Consistency

Ensures uniform capping to prevent product loss or contamination.

 

Seamless Automation Integration

Designed to fit effortlessly into OIM’s automation solutions for heating element production.

Details

Operators transfer filled heating elements to the plug up unit using a dedicated gripper. Once programmed, the machine executes the capping cycle autonomously and unloads completed heating elements, maintaining a smooth, continuous workflow. The unit can reverse its advancement direction to process subsequent batches efficiently, maximizing productivity. Additionally, no manual adjustments are required when resistor lengths change, simplifying production changeovers and reducing downtime.
