Manual Pin Interlocking Unit for Aluminium and PVC Roller Shutters

Alujet 1000

Extremely precise, quick and reliable unit for pin interlocking of both PVC and aluminium roller shutter profiles.

Advantages

• Compact and solid unit
• Easy to use
• Operator safety
• Protection of machine and interlocking set

This pneumatic machine can be used for the safe interlocking of slotted and non slotted roller shutter profiles, thus preventing the profiles from coming apart during transport. The operator merely needs to insert the profile in the special guide, taking care to see that the profile end touches the mechanical device. By pressing in the profile, the unit carries out the following three operations at the same time:

• the notch at the back of the profile
• the insertion of a stainless steel pin of adequate size (length and diameter) in the profile hook
• a small chamfer cut at the back of the profile, at its end, to make it easier to insert in the next profile

Pointed pins facilitate their penetration into the profile, thus ensuring a better grip over the course of time. They are packed in blisters and are loaded into the special vertical feeding unit that automatically feeds one pin to each profile. Once the interlocking operation is complete, the operator extracts the profile from the guide and slides it manually into the profile he previously interlocked. He repeats this operation until he has assembled a roller shutter of the required length.

The manual pin interlocking unit is mounted on an aluminium baseplate and is equipped with a safety guard made of transparent plexiglass that also protects the mechanical components. The machine construction complies with the current EC norms.
