G System DesignThe stamping environment is tough on equipment and therefore the mechanical

and electrical design of our systems are rugged and robust. Tool design and

motion profi les are determined prior to tool and transfer build. This optimizes

run rates and eliminates tooling interference, thereby maximizing production

and achieving full production rates.

Linear’s design process includes the following procedures:

• Strict drawing revisions.

• GD&T dimensioning techniques are employed for primary tolerencing.

• Formal ECR/ECN Process is in place to ensure continuous improvement

and proper build documentation.

• All components are modeled and assembled with 3D CAD tools; all

electrical schematics are produced with automated electrical CAD tools.

• Mechanical and electrical CAD tools are used to generate automated

Engineering Work Orders/ Bill Of Materials.

• All Engineering Work Orders contain all material requirements and

operations necessary to complete the machine.

All of the above processes are critical to produce high-quality equipment from

a quantifi ed proven design.

Manufacturing QualityAt Linear quality is very important to us. Our highly skilled engineers and

trade professionals are dedicated to continuous improvement and committed

to product quality, ensuring that only the fi nest workmanship goes into each

system.

All Linear systems are based on a quantifi ed and proven design. They are

constructed from precision-machined components that are designed for low

inertia and moved on linear rail systems. The transfer arms are constructed

of versatile, high torsion, aluminum extrusion or aluminum/steel tubing,

depending on the application.

TestingPrior to shipping, systems are installed on test stands in our production facility

in order to conduct rigourous cycle testing under full load. This ensures that all

systems meet or exceed contract requirements. Base line data is recorded at

time of testing and provided to the customer for future reference if required.

The mechanical and electrical installation of all Linear’s equipment is

performed by qualifi ed Linear personnel and is included in the price. The

press integration and safety system is confi rmed by Linear technicians and a

sign-off procedure is completed with the customer. A typical installation will

take approximately 1 week.

GY Control Functionality

Linear’s controls have a “SCADA” (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)

based interface providing supervisory control of the entire line. This is a control

system that is capable of monitoring equipment or processes, logging data

and issuing errors if parameters go outside the limits.

Linear’s unique technology is “cammed” to the press, (it speeds up and slows

down) working in unison with the press. From one touch screen, up to 40 axes

of motion can be controlled.

All servomotors, drives and motion controllers are monitored and any error

messages are accessible through the touch screen. These advanced

troubleshooting features allow for quick pin pointing of errors and increase

service effi ciency and production uptime.

Features:

• Touch Screen HMI

• Unlimited Recipe Storage is available

• Fully Programmable

• Extensive Diagnostic Capabilities

• “SCADA” (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)

• Integrated Part Detection

• Integrated Die Protection

• Counter Balance Control

• Shut Height Control

• Feeder Control

• Remote Diagnostics

• Auxiliary Device Control (i.e. Lubrication, etc.)

• Recipe Optimization functionality

Ancillary Tooling Supplies/ServicesLinear supplies a complete line of tooling components and provides a wide

variety of services for your Transfer, De-Stacker, Tandem Line and Stacking

Systems.

As the source for your transfer system requirements, we know the sizing and

capabilities of our systems best, therefore we can provide exactly the right

tooling to meet your needs.

Serving industrial customers in the automotive, appliance and other industries

that depend on making the right decision, we have grown to be recognized as

the tooling partner of choice.

Furthermore, our variety of services assures our customers of equipment that

runs at optimum speeds and effi ciency.

We provide customer-oriented, innovative solutions.

R Front & Rear FR-ClassTM

The FR-ClassTM mounts on the front and rear

of the press, perfect for presses with small

window dimensions and the retro-fi t market

where older presses can be converted into a

start of the art transfer press. With servo motor

control of all axes for high speed and accuracy,

these machines are designed to retract up

and out of the way to provide easy access for

die changeover and tooling adjustment. This

easy to program, low maintenance system is

available in four sizes: LTS-1000, LTS-2000,

LTS-3000 and Titan Series. With the variety

of sizes offered, a suitable system is easily

determined and integrated with any size

press.

As is standard with all of Linear’s automation

part detection is also standard on all systems,

providing the optimum in press and tooling

safety. Our systems store multiple tooling

Options:

ROBOGLIDE OPTION

This option now makes it possible for stampers

to feed the press and run parts all with the

same system. Effectively doubling the grip

axis stroke, the RoboGlide Option allows

stampers to pick parts from outside the press

bolster and place them virtually anywhere

on the bolster. Placed on the bottom of the

Y-slide, this state of the art design takes up

no extra space and maintains high SPM’s and

quality that is standard for Linear Transfer

Systems.

AUTOMATIC TRANSFER BAR

LOAD / UNLOAD SYSTEM

This option offers a fully automated bar change

system. The bars are automatically parked,

disconnected then reconnected and aligned

without the need for manual interaction. This

option includes all fully automatic mechanical,

electrical and pneumatic connections.

TRANSFER BAR TILT SYSTEM

This option offers the advantage of keeping

existing tooling on the bar during die

changeover, and allows the user to run a

variety of tooling sets from one set of transfer

bars. This mechanism can tilt to a 90-degree

angle once retracted. The result is a versatile

and cost effective solution for running a wide

variety of dies or tooling methods.

SS MD-Class

The MD-Class, “multi-directional” is the most versatile and fl exible system Linear has to offer. Typically installed on large bed presses the transfer can move payloads in excess of 1000lbs, including parts and tooling at rates greater than 30 SPM.

The MD-Class can run parts Left to Right, Right to Left, Back to Front or Front to Back. The grip, lift and pitch, can also be greater on one side than the other in either confi guration. This motion can be changed from a standard 3 Axis mode to a 2 Axis mode, running grip and pitch with a push of a button.

Furthermore, a walking-beam / cross-bar motion “lift and pitch” can be created easily. These types of motions are common in the frame stamping industry, moving parts such as bumpers and large frame sections.

The most effective and effi cient solution for stamped parts which are heavy and complex in nature, is to utilize options such as servo part rotation, and the multiple tool pass-line option with automatic bar parking.

Minimal labor is required increasing up time and decreasing down time due to excessive die and fi nger tooling change over time. Typically changeover times are as low as 8 minutes from hit to hit.

The MD-Class, Titan Series®, will park completely up and out of the way so die carting, lift truck clearance, die maintenance and die changeover functions are easily performed.

all the automation. It has integrated double blank sensing

and is available with a number of material handling options

to suit your plant and material handling process. The feeders

are available in four sizes to suit any range of blanks. Sizes

include: LTF-1000, LTF-2000, LTF-3000 and Titan Series.

Vacuum Pick and PlaceThe vacuum pick and place feeder is specifi cally developed

for running non-ferrous materials. With our system, the same
