In this cir- cuit breaker assembly the Multcyl is not actu- ated until the part has been tested under work- ing conditions, by passing a pre-timed electric current through the switch. using a standard i Multicage housing, the auxiliary pneumatic and I electronic operations were easily accommo- dated due to the open design feature.

For safety reasons the parts are sometimes pre-as- sembled in a slide which then advances to auto- matically stake with a shorter or guarded stroke. A slide may be 11 used in automated systems.

By storing a "family"of dies at, a Multicyl Work Station, unnecessary movement may be eliminated. The tooling on this type of random- order machine may be interchanged in minutes, sometimes seconds. Compare this with one hour of using a fork lift and add the duties of a set-up man and supervisor to re-allocate the pro- duction worker. Eliminate the space provision for parts storage and material handling for Work in Proc- ess'. Space requirements are dramatically less. Replace large presses with smaller workstations positioned in-line on regular workbenches. The smaller size permits closer location to second- ary operations such as shearing, forming and packaging. From raw material to finished goods the tool changeover time is reduced dramatically.

Take a standard Shear Die and combine it with a Multicyl system and the result is an afford- able Shear which can be used as a dedicated or versatile workstation for cutting steel or coil stock. Cycle speeds of up to 60 strokes per minute can be achieved. No need to use 10 or 12 foot Shear for small work. By varying the cylinder and other components many different combinations can be achieved.
