EPS, Laser and IDS

The current evolution of TAURUS shear balers are the result of 50 years of experience  and  a careful in-depth analysis of what is required to process scrap metal as efficiently, effectively and productively as possible.

The new generation of TAURUS shears and balers are the synthesis of thorough investigations that have taken in to consideration the industries current work processes and their requests for faster and higher performance machines.

After listening to our customers and carefully analyzing “Best practice” techniques, Taurus has come up with state of the art solutions that solve some of the industry’s most vexing problems. These problems include reducing shearing time to a bare minimum while maximizing productivity and reliability.

Some examples of how Taurus has solved these problems by incorporating new technologies in to their shears are: LASER and IDS (inductive distance sensors).

– The  LASER system constantly measures the position of the clamp and shear in order to optimize cutting cycle times. With this system activated, both the clamp and the shear rise only as high as needed for scrap to pass through the shear mouth. Position monitoring using lasers avoids the use of proximity and mechanical switches which are proven to be unreliable. The Laser also replaces in-cylinder linear position sensors which can easily be damaged and are difficult to service or replace.

– The main cylinder is equipped with a contactless LASER detector. The laser replaces traditional timers or conventional mechanical switches allowing extremely accurate cutting lengths to be set. The laser system is also used to monitor the position of the main pusher ram. Accurate and reliable monitoring of the rams position enables precise cutting lengths to be pre set.

– The IDS (Inductive Distance Sensors) also uses a laser instead of conventional proximity switches to detect the forward and backward stroke of the pusher cylinder. Unlike conventional systems, IDS sensors cannot be damaged by scrap falling from trucks or cranes.

Description of the “TAURUS” Shear-Baler operating cycle in tree steps

Which are the Operating cycles of a TAURUS BLULINE shear baler?

 

1 – Feeding

The pre-compression and feed box with swinging wings (1) driven by the internal crossed cylinders (2) allows the rapid compression of ferrous and non-ferrous scraps, heterogeneous and also cumbersome scrap, reducing it to dimensions such to pass through the mouth of the shears (3).

Due to the way it has been studied, the structure of the box allows scrap also to be loaded with small self-propelled vehicles and from both sides.

On request, a pre-load deck positioned laterally to the box, (4) can be supplied to de-crease loading times and increase production of the shear-baler.

 

2 – Operating cycle

When the first compression has been performed, which reduces the scrap to a long pack, with wings closed, the feed piston intervenes which, as well as making the scrap pack advance by the pre-determined length, further com-presses the material longitudinally, thus increasing its density. There-fore the material, pushed by the feed cylinder, is positioned under the shear knives to be cut. (5)

The machines with baler at the mouth of the shears have the ad-vantage of further compressing the material to be cut vertically before being sheared. (6)

 

Furthermore, the presence of the clamp allows the reduction of the mobile knife work stroke and therefore the acceleration of the cutting times with consequent saving of energy and increase of production.

 

 

 

 

3 – Automatic a repetitive cycle

(with or without the intervention of the baler)

 

By pressing the “AUTOMATIC” button: the feed cylinder pushes the material already pre-compressed, under the shears by the pre-determined length.

When requested, the vertical clamp descends, then the guillotine makes its cut, after which the baler and the mobile blade-holder return to the start position and the cycle resumes automatically.

Option 1

A particular device allows the increase in production of the shear-baler, limiting the stroke of the mobile blade-holder at each cycle depending on the height of the material to be cut; this is all automatic and without operator intervention.

Option 2

A particular program is envisioned to eliminate the idle shearing cycles, through which the automatic shearing cycle starts only when the scrap is underneath the shears.

ACH873 NEW VERSION under construction

TAURUS never ceases to amaze, and this month they have done it again with the transportable version of the very popular ACH873 shear baler. A high output shear that is comprised of the following performance characteristics: Cutting force 800 tons, box length 7200 mm, cylinders per wing, 3.

Although this shear baler is an ACH model through and through, it does have some unique features which were specially requested by the customer, such as: 4 hydraulic lifting jacks which enable the entire shear including base frame to be lifted up and on the back of a trailer for easy transportation. The support frame was also modified to accommodate a larger diesel tank of 1000 liters, which was requested in order to optimize fuel delivery charges as well as reducing machine down time due to refueling.

The very presence of lifting cylinders has made it possible to compare the ACH model  with the study and design of a specially designed mobile unit. This major modification was possible thanks to a technical office with many years of experience in the shear baler market and the possibility to make these modifications by ourselves in house.

It is not by chance that our factories in Daverio and Mornago Italy, once they have received the heavy steel structures needed to manufacture the shears that they are able to taylor make individual design changes to specifically meet the customer’s needs. The fact that Taurus designs, precision machines and works on every single element and component makes each TAURUS shear and baler unique in their genre.
