OVERVIEW TABLE

600 Series Standard Options:

Optional Main Beam Lengths (BXXX):
Main Beams may be ordered in any length between Trunnion Interface Mounts within the limits shown below. "XXX" = length in inches between trunnion interface mounts (1" increments).

MODEL MIN MAX
641 30" 120"
652 41" 120"
664 52" 151"

Lengths shorter than the MIN shown above can be dangerous due to tip over. Lengths longer than MAX shown above require a special beam.

While the two End Frames can be adjusted toward each other to accommodate smaller length parts, excessively long beams with a small part will leave the Main Beams extending from each End Frame enough to be inconvenient. It therefore is desirable to order the Main Beam close to the size of the actual part-to-be-handled.

Optional Trunnion Interface/Mount/Clamps:
  1. Angle Interface (A30)- The Angle Interface offers the most adaptability for customers. Either of the 3" perpendicular surfaces of the angle may be bolted or clamped to. The standard length is 30 inches with no bolt holes. The standard finish is clear zinc plate.

  2. Mounting Plate Interface (P8) - (Not available with SR or DR option. See P12/A30 option.) The Part-to-be-handled can be easily bolted to this flange type interface. The standard size is 3" by 8" with a four-hole bolt pattern spaced at 7" by 2" centered on the plate. The four holes will accept up to ½" diameter bolts. The standard finish is clear zinc plate.

Optional Combination Mounting Plate / Angle Clamp (P12 / A30):
(Available only with SR or DR option)
  1. Angle Interface (A30) - The Angle Interface offers the most adaptability for customers. Either of the perpendicular surfaces of the angle may be bolted or clamped to. The standard length is 30 inches with no bolt holes. The standard finish is clear zinc plate. The A30 angle is bolted to the P12 Mounting Plate and may be removed if the customer desires to mount directly to the P12.
  2. Mounting Plate Interface (P12) - The Part-to-be-handled can be easily bolted to this flange type interface. The standard size is 8" x 12" with an eight-hole bolt pattern spaced at 10.5" x 6" centered on the plate. The eight holes will accept up to ½" diameter bolts. The standard finish is clear zinc plate.

Optional Index Plate (IND15):
Indexed @ 15° increments to prevent trunnion rotation with a lock pin. The Index Plate can be supplied with the P8 Mounting Plate Interface (not on SR or DR) (shown below), the A30 Angle Interface, or the P12 / A30 Combination Mounting Plate / Angle Clamp (for SR or DR only).

Optional Index Plate with Index Stops (INDS15):
Identical to the IND15 option shown above but with the addition of two Index Stops. The Stops can be bolted into any of the Index holes in the Index Plate to prevent rotation beyond a desired point. This can be a desirable option if your part-to-be-handled has a protrudance that could hit the main beam or floor or other obstacle when rotated beyond a certain orientation.

Optional Split Pillow Block Trunnion Bearings (SPB):
For use with lightweight balanced loads such as solar panels or wire harness boards. The Split Bearings are supplied less Gearbox and are mounted on both Risers. With each Split Bearing is a Stub Shaft that includes an IND15 Index Plate and your choice of either the P8 or A30 Interface/Mount/Clamp. Usually, the Interfaces are attached to a "customer supplied" handling frame. By removing the top half of the Split Bearings, the entire "customer supplied" handling frame and part can be removed from the fixture using an overhead lifting device. An additional feature is the Brake Handle that when tightened can clamp the Split Bearing against the Stub Shaft to create a braking resistance to rotation. Of course, to prevent rotation, the Index Pins must be inserted into the two Index Plates.

Optional Casters:
  1. -(  ) Standard swivel caster with Tech Lock brake and 5" diameter x 2" wide polyurethane wheel.
  2. - (C1) Optional heavy duty Impak swivel caster with swivel lock, Tread Lock brake and 5" diameter x 2" wide polyurethane wheel.
  3. - (C2) Standard swivel caster with conductive wheel, Tech-lock brake and 5" diameter x 2" wide wheel (not shown).

Optional Heavy Duty Gearbox:
  1. Optional 60:1 ratio Single reduction Gearbox (SR) (Standard on HD664, optional on HD652 & HD641.): This gearbox offers heavier duty construction than the standard gearbox, plus low backlash and slightly more resistance to stairstepping. (See Stairstepping in the Technical Section.)

    NOTE: Addition of the optional SR or DR gearbox to the HD652 or HD641 decreases the vertical riser adjustment by 2".

  2. Optional 250:1 ratio Double Reduction Gearbox (DR): This gearbox offers heavier duty construction than the standard gearbox, plus low backlash, 3000 in-lbs easy crank torque (versus the standard 2000 in-lbs easy crank torque), and is immune to stairstepping at nearly all reasonable inertias and torques. (See Stairstepping in the Technical Section.)

    NOTE: Addition of the optional SR or DR gearbox to the HD652 or HD641 decreases the vertical riser adjustment by 2".

Optional Fixture Finishes (N), (C):
  1. Electroless nickel plating (N): This option replaces all zinc-plated parts with either electroless nickel-plated parts or stainless steel parts.

  2. Clean Room option (C): This option is identical to the (N) option but with the addition of electroless nickel-plating on the interior of the end frame slide tubes and vertical support tubes. The exterior of the gearbox as well as the exterior of the end frames are painted with high gloss urethane or epoxy paint in place of the standard textured enamel paint.
Optional Ground Lug and Drag Chain (E):
For use in electrostatically protected areas (EPA's). Proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding of the fixture must be part of the overall EPA design. (See Technical section descussion on ESD.

Special Options: If a standard Holding Fixture does not meet your requirements, contact FLOTRON about custom modifications.
