An example of a technological line for grinding and foiling of sheet metal.
The process line was based on a system of technological nests and inter-slot transport. Its application made it possible to meet the performance and functional requirements of the customer, such as:
- Line operation with a continuous output of 4pcs/min,
- max workpiece weight 350kg,
- fitting into limited area,
- automatic feeding and palletizing,
- buffering and transport,
- handling of product with variable dimensions (width 1000-1500, length 1500-4000)mm,
- handling of variants defined in recipes.
The line itself was designed and manufactured in our company while the entire installation consists of modules:
- picking and depositing conveyors,
- intermediate conveyors,
- grinder (third-party product),
- foiling machine (third-party product),
- manipulator,
- control system including safety system.
The manipulators have the functionality of positioning the sheets on the conveyor regardless of the picking position, measuring the height and picking and putting force. On the basis of the picking force and the value from the recipe, the function of protecting the picking of too heavy or doubled parts is realized. This function works from a certain assumed sheet thickness.
Lifting and holding the workpiece during transport is realized by a vacuum system powered by a centralized ejector pump together with a buffer tank located in the frame of the device.
Our team of engineers has designed all the components required for the correct operation of the line. Their manufacture is handled by Polish companies well known to us, and the assembly itself is again carried out directly on our premises by qualified employees.
