Spring Alignment Dowels

SPIROL’s GD100 Ground Hollow Dowels are designed to be direct replacements for Ground Solid Dowels manufactured per ISO 8734 when used in alignment applications. This innovative product is manufactured from strip steel, and then OD ground to achieve extremely tight diameter tolerances that enable critical alignment up to 20µm. The main advantage of the GD100 Ground Hollow Dowel is its ability to achieve the same alignment as the Ground Solid Dowel with a significant reduction in cost due to its hollow construction. In most scenarios, the Ground Hollow Dowel is approximately 50% lighter and at least 30% less expensive than the solid equivalent. If installation equipment is required, SPIROL also offers a standard comprehensive line of Installation Equipment from manual to fully automatic modules, with or without out fixturing, to support your assembly requirements.

SPIROL’s Series 2000 Vibratory Feed Systems provide higher feed rates, gentler feeding, and the ability to accommodate a wider range of part configurations and materials than conventional feed systems. The advanced state-of-the-art electronic controller combines modern technology and unique features to deliver superior performance by continuously and automatically adjusting the drive system to the natural frequency of the bowl. This variable frequency technology compensates for changes in the bowl mass to ensure consistent feed rates and eliminates bowl tuning, allowing interchangeable bowls with a single drive. Additional benefits include increased energy efficiency, clockwise/ counterclockwise capability, reverse rotation, and significantly lower noise levels. The controller utilises a touch screen interface with the capacity to store 50 recipes. This system is ideal for fragile, tactile, and slippery parts. Visit www.SPIROL.com to learn more!

The Model CLX operates the same way as SPIROL's Model CL, yet this extra-large Compression Limiter Installation Machine is custom-designed to accommodate larger assemblies outside the standard footprint of the Model CL. Visit www.SPIROL.com to learn more!
