Y-axis (vertical stroke): adjustable stroke 0-21, 7" (550 mm) or 27, 6" (700 mm); pneumatic shock absorbers; locking cylinder to prevent the arm from drifting down into the mould in the event of air pressure loss; Y-axis is also equipped with a heavy-duty switch as an additional interlock before the mould can close; energy chain for less wear of tubing. Z-axis (pivot): freely adjustable from 45? to 95?; simple changeover from rear side to operator side placement. B-axis (90? tooling rotation) & mechanical gripper: rotation is made automatically when pivoting the Z-arm out of the press.
