Multi-Spindle Systems

Quick Links

Multi-spindle tightening applications improve clamp load results and increase productivity.  The custom designed multi-spindle equipment that Rhino Assembly creates can be configured in either vertical or horizontal orientations depending on the application and customer requirements.  Designs may incorporate operator input or be fully automated.  Rhino Assembly uses Bosch Rexroth DC Electric spindles specifically for this type of application.  Spindles can be mounted and arranged to accommodate and match any bolt pattern using in-line, 90° angle, or special offset drives.

The Bosch Rexroth DC multi-spindle tightening systems allows for spindle synchronization, operator feedback, and error proofing solutions.  Rhino Assembly capabilities include custom design and build services, complete project management, installation, on-site training and start-up support and local technical service and support available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.   Multi-spindle applications are our specialty at Rhino Assembly; please contact us for a free consultation on how such a system can improve your fastening process.

The Bosch Rexroth DC Electric Tightening System 300 has been developed for a market that is fast moving and flexible.  Shorter product cycles and changing tasks require a variable technology with simple handling. The controller and tightening spindle have been developed as a modular system, which ensures optimal construction of the tightening system for each application.

This system, which can be extended up to 40 tightening channels, is coordinated by a communication unit (KE).  The interface-oriented PC software BS300 makes programming clear, easy, and intuitive.  Servo amplifiers (LT), controller (SE) and communication unit (KE) form a powerful unit in the system card rack (BT) with compact slide in modules.  As alternatives to the system card rack, the SB301 system box is available for a single tightening channel and the SB305 system box for the inclusion of up to five tightening channels.  This modularity ensures easy system installation and service.  A single connector cable suffices to connect the tightening controller with the servo amplifier.  This cable provides both power supply and communications.
