Automation of plastic assembly for rain gutter parts

Assembly automation of plastic rain gutter parts

Automation Technologies Ltd designed and built this equipment to automatically assemble the moulded guttering coupling parts and introduce a flexible neoprene seal.

The system shown was designed and manufactured over a thirteen week period and can cope with a number of different part types. Production is now handled with only one operator who can produce up to 4 fully assembled couplings per minute.

The machine handles the automatic supply of the neoprene seal on continuous rolls and sorts and supplies the plastic clips from a motorised bowl separator.
