A transparent spinning disk glued onto the machine window guarantees a clear view inside the machining center.
VISIPORT SPIN WINDOWS – the eye of your CNC machine
As a manufacturer of machines, you are exposed to global competition and attempt to offer your customers optimally adapted, use-oriented machines. Your products are characterized by a high degree of innovation, safety and differentiation from the competition.
You follow the trend of visualization, creating transparency in your operations and processes. Your company will be an enthusiastic user of Visiport Spin Windows. Visiport systems have already been in heavy everyday continuous use among leading international manufacturers for several years.
We give you eyes for your machines.
You will optimize your processes and improve your working ergonomics and productivity, in that you will be able to observe the actual machining process in the machine, without your view being impaired by coolant or chips. The electrically driven Visiport Spin Windows are suitable for all types of CNC milling machines, lathes and machining centero both in original equipment and for later installation.
Simple installation and optimum maintenance, because of the modular design, will reduce the costs. With their low weight and a generous visible surface, the Visiports will adapt optimally to the design of your machines. Additional electronic safety features will complete the perfect impression.
Advantages
VISIPORT means taking active safety precautions: Without VISIPORT, the operator can be tempted to bypass the safety circuit of the machine to see what is happening in the machine. This implies a danger potential for severe accidents. With regard to product liability and safety regulations, a glance at the safety advantages of VISIPORT can pay.
Our system is suitable for CNC high-speed milling/grinding machines. It is also the system suitable for lathe applications. The VISIPORT is suitable for OEM first equipment and retrofitting.
The flat construction enables the VISIPORT to be adapted to widely differing door and window designs. VISIPORT is also suitable for fastening to sliding doors with limited intermediate space.
VISIPORT represents an excellent investment: At full functionality and with superior design, it has the lowest total costs (up to 50% lower) for an electrically driven rotating window.
No hole has to be drilled in the machine cabin. The unit is either fastened on the bonded mounting plate or bonded directly to the window. When the mounting plate is used fast replacement of the VISIPORT unit is possible.
Subsequent installation is also simple and fast. Low space requirements enable it to be used for most window configurations on new and also older machines, a through-hole installation is also possible.
Electrical connection
Connection is made directly to the 24 V DC machine power supply (direct current). The flexible cable protection provides maximum protection against rough conditions and also serves as vent. Almost all components, such as rotating disk, motor and electronics are replaceable.
We use a series connected, brushless direct current motor (24V direct voltage, minimum 5A current) for the drive. The current consumption in continuous operation and if no coolant load is present is 500mA. The integrated drive electronic unit is equipped with polarity reversing and overvoltage protection. The power connection cables are designed for 5A and 250V. The control has an overload protection. The connection must not be made through the machine tool alternating current supply, since the starting times of the VISIPORT are impaired here.
Visible surface
The rotating disk of the VISIPORT consists of tempered glass with a thickness of 3mm. The large diameter of up to 25cm guarantees excellent sight. The high rotation speed of 2200 revolutions per minute and the low starting time of the VISIPORT on loading guarantee perfect viewing conditions quickly. The disk can also be cleaned simply and replaced quickly in the case of damage.
Bonding
The VISIPORT is installed simply using high-tech adhesive tape (adhesive carrier material: closed acrylic cellular foam). You just remove the adhesive foil on the back of the VISIPORT and fix the VISIPORT in the required position of the window, which has been cleaned carefully previously.
The optimum drying out time is 72 hours. If the surface has been sufficiently cleaned beforehand, it is virtually impossible to separate the VISIPORT from the adhesive surface (glass or poly-carbonate window).
Once the adhesion is 80% bonded to the surface, then according to our calculations a safety factor of 20:1 or better is achieved. In other words, the adhesion of the bond is no problem. The bond is extremely strong and not detachable. Screw fastening can also be used in addition on request.
In the case of VISIPORT models with installation frame, an artificial vacuum can be generated by special in- expensively available small vacuum pumps. This clearly reduces the bonding time to a few hours and further increases adhesion. You have the advantage of not having to cut any holes. You need no tiresome measuring out and fitting, fast and simple commissioning is guaranteed.
Product quality
All VISIPORTs have a factory warranty period of twelve month. Typical parts subject to wear are excluded from this. Many components are made of high grade aluminum.
The ball bearings are lubricated for life and replaceable. The flexible connection tube is temperature resistant up to 150°C. The electronic components have been developed according to special specifications for VISIPORT. Ambient influences are excluded by the optimum installation position and sealing.
All parts and components of the VISIPORT are tested comprehensively and intensively for material quality and life in the form of permanent endurance tests and short-term very high load tests.
Ventilation and aeration of the VISIPORT
VISIPORT has a patented system whereby the accurately dosed air volume is available within the VISIPORT. Sufficient air circulation to the unit is guaranteed by the flexible hose supplied. The flexible hose protects the cable harness between the VISIPORT unit and the fuse box.
The air circulation was especially important in the development of the flexible hose. If you therefore want to use a different connection for certain reasons, then please consult our engineers about this. Ventilation should always be guaranteed.
Installation
The VISIPORT can be installed vertically and up to 30° to the vertical. It can also be installed in a fixed (constantly closed) window. The VISIPORT functions best of all with coolants based on water and well with mineral oils. Heavier oils impair its operation.
