Solukon has launched the brand new SFM-AT1500-S metallic powder removing system, with two machines already bought.
The brand new metallic powder removing system can accommodate elements that weigh greater than two tons, with Solukon aiming to satisfy the rising demand for a depowdering answer that may cater for the ‘heavy load section.’ Solukon has secured the primary gross sales of the SFM-AT1500-S to 2 producers that supported the event of the system.
It represents Solukon’s largest metallic depowdering system, with the machine in a position to accommodate elements with dimensions as much as 600 x 600 x 1500 mm or 820 x 820 x 1300 mm with a most weight of two,100 kg (together with construct plate). Although it may well serve these giant half sizes, Solukon has utilised particular drive know-how to make sure the machine could be very slender, whereas additionally making certain that no platforms or stairs are essential to load elements. If wanted, elements will be inserted by crane or a lifting machine by way of front-top loading.
Solukon has additionally developed a ‘utterly new’ decpoupling idea for the SFM-AT1500-S, enabling the system to use the mandatory vibrations to the printed elements with out transmitting them to the remainder of the machine. In accordance with Solukon, elements are made to vibrate optimally in any place, whereas the remainder of the chamber is resistant to the vibration. Moreover, a newly developed and ultra-robust drive know-how is used to maneuver the elements. The chamber has been comprised of 100% stainless-steel and the rotary desk has 4 individually managed compressed air strains for various configurations of vibrator, knocker and blower connections.
Lastly, the SFM-AT1500-S is suitable with each the SFM-PCU powder assortment unit and the SPR-Pathfinder software program. The previous ensures powder will be safely extracted and assortment in a big process-monitored container, whereas the latter works to mechanically calculate the best movement sequence based mostly on the CAD file of the half. Solukon may also make the SFM-AT1500-S suitable with powder conveying methods of different producers on request.
Of the SFM-AT1500-S launch, Solukon CEO/CTO Andreas Hartmann stated: “The mixture of compactness and most performance is a completely distinctive characteristic of our new SFM-AT1500-S. Digital options are additionally important within the large-scale section. Good software program is the one technique to depowder complicated buildings with out human programming effort. Plus steady monitoring is the one technique to obtain actual transparency.”
Solukon will showcase the SFM-AT1500-S at Formnext from Sales space 12.0, D71.
