LITs: NITTOKU's Ultra-High-Speed, High-Precision Transfer System

Nittoku’s LITs system is an ultra-high-speed and high-precision transfer system designed to solve the various problems that plague production facilities. The LITs system will shorten production time, increase FA, reduce maintenance time and save space over traditional transportation systems.

The LIT’s system is focused around three main features that make it stand out among other transportation systems; accuracy, speed and flexibility.

When it comes to manufacturing automation, accuracy is key. The LITs system has a positional accuracy of ±0.02mm. XZ axial positioning is performed by a direct moving guide while the Y axial positioning is performed by the position unit.

Speed is an important factor in every manufacturing process and the LITS system provides smooth acceleration and high-speeds. Through servo-motor control, smooth acceleration movement and a smooth transfer from slow to stop of the LITs pallets is possible. The LITs system can attain a speed of 3m/sec without vibration due to the system’s high rigidity.

Flexibility is also core to the LITs system design. With a maximum pallet load of 15kg and a vertical withstand load of 5000N, the LITS system can handle a wide variety of loads and processes. Variations in pitch, connecting to lines and double-decker lines are also possible with the LITs system.

Due to the high-speed and positioning systems of LITs, stopper sensors are not required and the number of pallets required are reduced when compared to a traditional conveyor system. Compared to a table index method, the linear layout of LITs allows for better line visibility, accessibility and the ability to extend to a limitless number of process.

Nittoku LITs system is a benchmark change in how we think about manufacturing transportation systems. With its reliable high-precision accuracy, speeds of 3 m/s and flexible design and layout, Nittoku’s LITs system is a breakthrough in transfer systems and a step beyond the competition.

With the standard KAI series being able to wind motors up to a maximum OD of 130mm and the more robust KAI-H winders up to a maximum OD of 200mm, a seemingly endless amount of applications are able to be wound. Thanks to the addition of quick-change tooling and a 90 degree nozzle rotation unit, multiple specifications are now able to be wound on a single KAI series machine.

For any customer, cycle time and speed represent omnipresent factors that must be considered on any project. Nittoku's KAI series enables customers to increase speed of production and aim towards optimal cycle time. With nozzle movement speeds of up to 800 RPM, the KAI series winders ensure that our customers can achieve the best speeds possible in order to achieve optimal cycle time.

As with every Nittoku built winding machine, the KAI series winder with it's high level of versatility and accuracy, firmly set the standard for what a motor winding machine should and can be. At Nittoku, our goal is innovation, and our machines speak for themselves.

NITTOKU TAK-01A & YOK-01A Benchtop Winding Machines

Nittoku Engineering's TAK-01A and YOK-01A benchtop coil winding machines represent the market standard for tabletop winders. With the ability to adapt to many different coils, the TAK-01A and YOK-01A are the efficient and cost effective option for customers who are searching for the best tabletop winders on the market.

With both a servo-controlled spindle and traverse guide, the TAK-01A and YOK-01A offer a very high level of performance on a small level. Capable of handling wire from 0.01mm to 1.6mm and a wide variety of bobbin sizes and shapes, it is easy to see the value that these form fitting machines can provide.

The ease of operation for any machine is important. We at Nittoku Engineering kept this in mind when designing the TAK-01A and YOK-01A machines. For winding speed and specification change over, both of these options are present on the sleek user interface panel present on the front of the machines. As simple as a press of a button, within seconds you can easily change the options.

Flexibility is an important factor in any production process. Luckily the TAK-01A and YOK-01A machines were built with flexibility in mind. Within the user-friendly interface, the winders internal memory allows for up to 495 distinct pages for winding specifications. Thus, offering customers limitless options for winding specifications at the tips of their fingers. With the YOK-01A winder specifically, these units offer an adjustable tailstock unit that effectively broadens the level of flexibility the machines offer.

Capable of accommodating a wide range of tension options (50g-200g), the PTA-SFDR-A/B series has met current market demands and exceeded any and all expectations for tensioner units. By accommodating a wide range of tension values, the PTA-SFDR allows customers to get more from their investments. The PTA-SFDR series is also capable of storing multiple programs, with changeover being as simple as a quick press of the touch screen interface panel.
When designing the user interface of this tensioner series, we considered valuable firsthand customer feedback, and implemented it accordingly to make a streamlined user focused product. With a loadcell being integrated into the tensioner, we are capable of not only of tracking moment to moment tension values, but also displaying this value and storing the data to be utilized for valuable traceability. Examples of exportable data include: Wire Speed, Tension Arm Angle, Wire Break Count, and Tension Value.
The unique airless link and servo-motor design of the PTA-SFDR series has increased the overall level of durability and life span of a traditional Pulservo tensioner. Compared with the traditional spring and cylinder style of tensioner, which requires a high level of maintenance and can result in a shorter lifespan, the PTA-SFDR is a clear winner in terms of decreased maintenance and durability.
The PTA-SFDR-A/B series of Pulservo Tensioners is quickly changing how the industry view Pulservo Tensioner technology. See today what Nittoku can do for your tomorrow.
