WEISS developed two rotary indexing table systems for LSP Products Group to automate their small plastic parts production lines for ultrasonic and spin welding. The TC150 system has a 6-station 32-inch diameter table and the TC220 has an 8-station 42-inch table. Both tables include an anvil backing support underneath to absorb the 400 pounds of force from the welders. This support promotes longer life of the tables against the intense welding pressures. The tables allow LSP to automate assembly of their new polymer hammer arrester and push-to-connect valve parts.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
WEISS LAYS THE HAMMER DOWN ON
DURABLITY: TC SERIES ROTARY
TABLES LEVERAGE ANVIL DESIGN
ELEMENT FOR WELDING SYSTEMS’
HEAVY DUTY FORCE REQUIREMENTS.
Willoughby, OH-November 2015
For over 40 years, LSP Products Group, Inc. (LSP-Carson City, NV / NCH Corp.,
Irving, TX) has been developing innovative polymer products for the plumbing
industry. With a manufacturing plant featuring 11 injection molding machines,
LSP molds most of their wholesale plastic plumbing parts in the USA.
With the targeted development of two new innovative small-size plumbing
products that were to be produced in ultrasonic and spin welding operations,
LSP was looking for solutions to replace their manual assembly line processes
and ineffective conveyor options.
Since the welders have applied force pressure and small part size, rotary
indexing tables present a perfect option for small progresssive production.
LSP’s Director of Mfg. Engineering, Marshall Henningsen, and Manufacturing
Engineer, Jim Ross soon began to investigate value-added possibilities by
contacting industry leading specialist for rotary tables and automation, WEISS
North America, Inc. (Willoughby, OH). Discussions soon began on optimal index
table engineering solutions for LSP’s ultrasonic and spin welding machine
designs.
FORCEFUL PROBLEM / SOLUTION:
Originally, LSP was planning on building and implementing their automation
internally on their own chassis, however,the WEISS sales and engineering team
provided them with a 3D CAD model of a WEISS chassis along with a unique
configuration proposal based on their TC (150/220) Series tables. The proposed
WEISS chassis allowed LSP to readily implement their own automation for two
machine designs.

A key design element that both machines had to address was overcoming the
large downward forces (400 lbs.) from the servo-driven welders, to melt plastic
that was exacted onto the index table’s tool plate in repeated production.
To overcome this, an anvil back-up support was designed underneath to absorb
the intense loads from the welders−ultimately promoting longer production life
for the tables and plates.
The cornerstone to achieving each chassis system’s production goals, was
implementing WEISS’ third generation configuration TC heavy duty rotary
indexing tables−TC150 (six station) and TC220 (eight station).
Both tables feature a hard coat anodized plating finish on the aluminum jig
plate. This coating is essential in providing superior durablity versus the intense
downward force pressure subjected on the anvil that supports the plate.
Delivering the highest reliability and precision, the robust series features
standard stationary post, center standard through hole, high-load bearing, and
large cam followers with needle roller bearings for the following LSP polymer
plumbing part product applications:
TC150-6 STATION / LSP PROFILE:
LSP is producing a new, in-line hammer arrester made out of polymers vs.
traditional copper. The patented, first of its kind in-line polymer hammer
arrester can be integrated into water connectors such as washing machines, ice
makers, dishwashers or directly into the plumbing sytems piping to smooth out
the pressure flucuations associated with modern appliances.
Utilized for greasing, inserting components and ultrasonic welding operations in
six stations, the WEISS chassis system includes the TC150 index table (32“
diameter, ¾“ thickness), tool plate, machine frame, and an anvil back-up
support for the tool plate.

TC220-8 STATION / LSP PROFILE:
In production of their new, engineered
polymer push-to-connect valve to be
used in plumbing industry applications
such as toilets, faucets, etc.−LSP
leveraged the WEISS eight station
chassis system. The semi-automated
system includes the TC220 index table
(42“ diam, 3/4“ thickness), tool plate, machine frame, and an anvil back-up
support for the tool plate.
Production features seven assembly stations and a servo
spin welder station that uses radial motion to apply over
300 lbs. of force pressure to friction-weld plastic part
halves. WEISS designed the anvil support located
underneath the center of the tooling head, to effectively
offset the force applied to the parts and the table during
repeated station component spin welding. In addition,
the robust rotary table platform provides accurate,
level, locations for pick and place automated assembly
of the polymer quarter turn valve.
DURABLE CONCLUSION:
WEISS completed and shipped the smaller TC150-6 station unit in April 2015,
and the larger TC220-8 station unit in October of 2015. Both units are nearing
completion of advanced production of the innovative LSP polymer plumbing
parts. Notably, the inclusion of the anvil back-up support will ensure advanced
longevity for the system’s core index table and tool plate against repeated
welding production force pressures.
