Electronically-controlled reciprocator.

Description

The RFV 2000 reciprocator comprises a vertical frame set into a horizontal base on wheels for ease of movement along the ground. Two optional rails can be added to improve guiding, for displacement perpendicular to the conveyor belt axis or for use over grating. The frame constitutes a vertical rolling track along which the carriage holding the powder or paint spray guns and the balancing counter-weight moves. The carriage is driven by a transmission chain, an asynchronous electric motor and a reduction gear located on the base. A potentiometer is used to link the sweeping movement to the control devices. All the controls are grouped in the REV 600 box which can be located remotely from the robot. A second version is available as an option with a second motorised axis (RFV "forward-back" positioning).

Custumer benefits

• Extremely simple construction and operation (very long service life).
• Sweeping stroke and speed adjustable remotely over a very wide range.
• Optimum safety : the reciprocator is CE, Ex and FM approved.
•Reduced maintenance : limited to cleaning the chains and transmission devices.
•Installation requiring no special provision (the robot can be positioned or displaced manually without effort).
