Machine features

The JO Group Burning machine

The JO Group Burner comes equipped with 1 set of combs, 4 sets of post locators and 4 sets of dams. Additional tooling is available at a nominal charge.

  • This machine produces day in and day out with no warm-up time and little to no scrap (burned cells do not have loose plates).
    • This machine produces day in and day out with no warm-up time and little to no scrap (burned cells do not have loose plates).
    • The Tiegel Group Burning Machine produces better batteries because there are no broken separators from assembly. The plates are in better alignment due to the novel upside down loading. More important, no lead run-downs are possible with proper tooling, because of our positive closure between combs and post locators
    • Options that are available are the following:
      1. "C" -Automatic turnover with program opening and closing ofthe combs.
      2. "DMN" - Accommodation to different plate widths.
      3. "B" - Automatic Burning (saving an additional 10% to 20% in assembly time).

The LO Group Burning machine

The Tiegel LO Group Burning Machine utilizes all of the proven qualities and features of the Tiegel air operated JO Group Burning Machine and adds several new features not possible on the JO Group Burner.

  • The LO Group Burning Machine loads and unloads at a forty-five degree angle.
  • Wide open pockets permit burning six elements with plates up to 6-1/8 inches wide and cell thickness up to 4-5/8 inches, with no adjustment needed for smaller plates and cells. Larger comb opening allows easy unloading of normal or awkward groups with posts overhanging in both the X and Y axes.
  • The LO Group Burner can also be equipped with the standard Tiegel
  • An automatic clamp presses the group firmly against a flat side.
  • The LO Machine automatically positions the groups and locks the plates into place before turning over into the horizontal burning position. These added features make the LO Group Burner the most precise group burner available.
  • Automatic Burning.
The WO Group Burning machine

THE MACHINE BUILT TO TAKE ENVELOPE PLATES! The Tiegel WO Group Burning Machine utilizes all of the proven qualities and features of the Tiegel air operated LO & JO Group Burning Machines and adds several new features.

  • This machine has been specifically designed to burn envelope plates where the separators can not be shifted once the element has been burned. It is not recommended for loose type separators.
  • Wide open pockets permit burning six elements with plate sizes of up to 6 inches wide and cell thicknesses of up to 4-3/4 inches. The comb is completely out of the way, allowing for easy loading and unloading of normal or awkward groups.
  • The WO Group Burning Machine is a top loading machine. Top Loading permits the operator to see the comb closure which helps prevent jam-ups. The WO Group Burning tooling is completely interchangeable with our standard LO and JO tooling. Changeover can be accomplished within a five minute period.
