The DCAM (DEPRAG COMPACT ASSEMBLY MODULE) was first launched back when mobile phones were still assembled by hand. If your production was faster and more economical you had the upper hand. The DEPRAG assembly platform for industrial production came onto the market and has since become fully established worldwide. The DEPRAG engineers have been making continuous improvements to the well-known work station over the past 25 years. Any customer purchasing the optimised DCAM receives a standardised assembly platform with the recognised reliability and high functional safety of the customary assembly unit. By virtue of its modular concept the DCAM is available ”off the shelf”, making purchasing more easily calculable and with a clearly foreseeable delivery time.

”Up to now each DCAM was basically a custom-made product for each client. It would take a long time from initial consultation to design and manufacture and the high labour costs reflected negatively in investment costs and delivery time”, explains Sales Manager Jürgen Hierold. The cry for a DCAM at a fixed price with short delivery time was growing louder as budget pressure was increasing. Modularisation was the solution to the problem.

The DCAM is the ideal work station for any application where several processing points must be reached quickly and with precision. It is therefore particularly suitable for screw assembly. The feeding of workpieces to be assembled can either be manual – via a sliding carrier or rotary indexing table or fully automatic using a linear transfer system. As a safety precaution depending on requirements a sliding door or light curtain is available. At the AUTOMATICA trade exhibition in Munich, from 21st to the 24th of June 2016, DEPRAG is demonstrating a typical screwdriving process – fully automatic and reliable.

Equipped with a modern DEPRAG screwdriving function module, including high-quality industrial screwdriver spindles and combined with suitable screw feeding devices, any screwdriving task can be completed to satisfaction using the DCAM. ”The modularised assembly platform is particularly qualified as the best system solution for fluctuating production rates, multi-faceted product versions or products with short life-spans. A DCAM incorporates effectivity with the best possible processing reliability. The modular and flexible platform design of this assembly unit in combination with freely programmable X-Y axes can be used for the most varied of assembly tasks”, explains Hierold.

The screwdriving process is supported by a user-friendly sequencing controller which the operator controllers via a screen during assembly. Like all other DEPRAG PROCESS UNIT modules, the DPU200 is equipped with DCOS (DEPRAG CONTROLLER SYSTEM) software which is available in various standard packages.
