ACFS-4000T AUTOMATIC
DEVICE FILLER
Watch the vid below
for it’s *spot on* accuracy!
The significance of the video of our ACFS-4000 automatic filler
is that it is placing the needle into a very small hole in each device.
As far as we know, we are the only ones that can do that,
especially at the rate it is filling.
Credence ACFS-4000T
is the most productive
Cartridge Filling Machine
on the market today.
Credence ACFS-4000T will fill up to
3,600 – 1.0 gr and up to 4,000 – 1/2 gr
cartridges per hour.
That’s
~28,800 – 1.0 gr
and
~24,000 – 1/2 gr
per DAY!
Credence ACFS-4000T will accept any cartridge,
disposable, AIO and Pod in the original foam tray.
The total array must fit within a 6.188” X by 4.96” Y total space.
Credence ACFS-4000T has the Credence Pump,
which is the most precise and fastest delivery system available.
Credence ACFS-4000T has the NEW Credence APR
(Automatic Product Recognition)
which utilizes a custom product alignment tray
that is sensed by the system.
Credence ACFS-4000T
senses which of your products has been inserted into
the elevator assembly and it automatically sets
the process parameters for that product.
Credence ACFS-4000T then sets the XY start point, the X Step,
the Y step, the number of rows and columns, the Z start point,
the Vessel Temperature, the pump temperature, the pump motor speed,
the number of pump revolutions, the line temperature
and the needle heater temperature.
Credence ACFS-4000T has full temperature control through the oil path.
The Vessel, the Pump, the Flexible Line to the Needle.
The Needles are all independently temperature controlled
for the toughest oils.
The XY Motion is a proven design and will give long service
with minimal maintenance and downtime.
Credence ACFS-4000T moves the needle assembly,
instead of moving the bulky tray of carts to each position
like most array fillers, which is a much lighter load.
This keeps the motion load consistent, whereas other array fillers
move the Cartridge array, which continually increases in mass
as the carts are filled.
Another innovation of the Credence ACFS-4000T
is that affects its speed is the Needle Z motion
where the needle will move down and up in 1/3 of a second total.
The needle motion is ½ of the total cycle time
so it must be fast if the machine cycle time will achieve
a 1 second cycle time.
It is designed around a fast-acting DC Gear-motor Cam Drive
to insure consistent needle entry into the cartridge
while clearing the cartridge quickly so the XY motion system
can move the needle to the next position.
The tray of devices in the factory foam base
is fitted with the product specific alignment tray
and is loaded onto a stepper motor driven Elevator
that will set the top of the cartridges
at the optimum height for filling.
If you are filling cartridges, another key innovation is the
Patented Credence Cart-Top Alignment tray.
It holds the tops of all of the cartridges in the exact location
and shields the outer rim of the cart
so the needle is guided into the cart automatically.
Credence Engineering, Inc has incorporated software-hardware innovations
to prevent inadvertent loss of oil should a couple of conditions happen:
1) if the cartridge center tube is eccentric to the outer rim
and the needle hits the center tube instead of going into the cart,
the software senses the mishap
and stops the pump from dispensing for that cart.
The system just skips that cart and goes onto the next one
without losing any production time.
The position of the cart within the array
is displayed on the User Interface Screen so the operator
can remove that cart prior to capping.
2) We incorporated timing belt failure mechanism/sensors
in the unlikely event that a belt breaks or comes loose
allowing the needle position to be compromised.
Should this happen, the idler tension pulley swings under a sensor
that alerts the controller that a belt has failed.
The controller, in turn, automatically stops the cycle before any oil is lost.
An alert will be displayed on the screen
telling the operator that maintenance is required.
Credence ACFS-4000T is the most sophisticated
Cartridge Filling System on the market
and will give you many years of productive cartridge filling.
Credence also continually improves its products
and will offer and new innovations to
Credence ACFS-4000T owners as they are proven.
