New Slitter Tooling Robot & ASRS
FLOREANI & PARTNERS
BUILD TO ORDER CUSTOM DESIGNED
The main features of these innovative Systems - that can operate 24 hours a day - are:
Modularity, with maximum system-layout flexibility
Few moving parts; little "service" required
All System components (being standard components from the market) are easy to find and replace
Limited foor space requirement
Quick and easy installation (no need to dismantle the System prior to shipping) - normally less than a week to install a System
Quick and easy operator training
Short cycle-time
Errorproof identification of each piece of tooling by optical recognition of matrix codes
The tooling set-up is graphically shown on screen
All info on operator screen, in the language of your choice
The robot and the storage unit are fully integrated
The storage unit ensures a dust-free, corrosion-inhibiting environment for the tooling
Patented grippers can handle spacers from 1mm thick, keep tooling de-magnetized; leave knives and spacers with a space between in the storage unit, to avoid corrosion. If more than a single piece of tooling is picked up, the grippers automatically separate the pieces
A flexible control system has been developed around standard components: an industrial PC (with Windows XP) + Bosch-Rexroth PLC. The PLC 'independently' controls: servo drives, safety equipment, the identification system (checking on correct positioning of the knife-sides and spacers), grippers, valves, sensors...
The software (with two separate modules: "main program" and "set-up calculation) is user-friendly and can get customized on demand. [The System operator can, in particular be given the option to 'manually' control selected parts of the process]
The available options:
"Intermediate" station, allowing shorter setup time (RECOMMENDABLE OPTION!)
Dual-grippers option, for an even shorter cycle-time
Washing machine for the tooling; and a "dedicated" robot to this machine
Knife sharpness & condition auto.- check station (allowing 'good'/undamaged edges only to be used, whilst knives requiring full re-grinding
and/or any repairs are moved to the service station)
Tooling auto.- blow off station
Filtered & Dried Air Supply Unit to optimize the storage-environment ^
Separator disc program, for a correct positioning of separators
Modem for remote-assistance via Internet
Robotic Slitting Lines
Custom-built equipment needs a special kind of product support... our proposals are detailed with drawings and photos to provide clients with a full understanding of the type and quality of the equipment we offer. We send customers approval drawings with dimensions, performance specs and features before the machine is built.
We are experienced at making our products safe, reliable and in conformance with the safety and design standards. Products are designed for maximum serviceability and reliability.
Parts Books are shipped with each piece of equipment. They contain detailed information about installation, inspection and maintenance procedures, component parts.
