The new Distectool by Schenck RoTec permits highly efficient balancing of tools

The Distectool has been developed for the fully-automated balancing of tools and tool adapters. With this vertical balancing machine, the company provides a highly-efficient system solution for the serial production of precision tools.

Manufacturers of tools and tool adapters for production technology are likely to find the new Distectool highly appealing. Especially for tool manufacturers wishing to convert the balancing process step from manual processing into an automated procedure the Distectool is an attractive solution. Even more so, since it successfully combines high balancing precision, short cycle times and excellent price/performance ratio.

Ergonomic and safe

All operating elements as well as the measuring device with its touchscreen monitor are located on the main operating interface of the machine, which is within easy reach. The short spindle distance supports the deposition of the tool or adapter to be tested. The working height is ideally dimensioned, and the obligatory protection device closes automatically over the work area.

During the development of the new Distectool, Schenck RoTec realised a modern, lightweight construction concept. Energy-efficient drives were used and no ineffective hydraulic and cooling systems were added. Therefore, the system only has a small footprint and can easily be integrated into existing production lines. In addition, it is designed as a crane hook machine, meaning that it is easy to relocate.

A precise result, quickly achieved

The new Distectool works using a measuring device of the Type CAB 870 from the Schenck RoTec portfolio. It permits users the simple, direct touchscreen input of tool data, and convinces with its logical-intuitive operating concept. Clear, unambiguous displays and operating aids guide rapidly through the balancing process right up to the accurate result.

With the overall concept for the new Distectool it is profitable to convert to an automated balancing process even for small tool or tool adapter series. The users are able to define the degree of automation themselves. Here the options range from the use of a handling system for loading and unloading right up to the combination with adaptive, collaborative robot systems.

The Distectool fulfils all requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, valid since 2010, and is CE-certified. Its protective housing accords with the requirements in the ISO 21940-23:2012-09, Class C20 – Protection against flying parts.
