Robotic palletizing after the annealing furnace
Absolutely dependable sorting
and storage of aluminum wheels
ROBOTIC PALLETIZING AFTER THE ANNEALING FURNACE
The project was implemented based on the customer's requirement for automated wheel stacking after annealing furnaces.
| Customer: | Manufacturer of aluminum wheels |
| Implementation length: | 6 months |
| SOLUTION | |
|---|---|
| Line cycle: | 600 wheel / hour |
| Capacity: | 51 pallets - wheel types, up to 2000 wheels |
BASIC CHARACTERISTICS
After the annealing furnaces, the wheels are turned to face downward by an automatic turner so that they can be placed on the pallet by the robot.
The wheel type is recognized by the profiler. The profiler recognizes the casting symbols on the aluminum disc.
The recognized wheels are transported by a roller conveyor system to the collection point of the robot, which places the wheel on the right pallet.
Key benefits of our solution:
- Minimizes scrap
- Detailed information on the location of each wheel
- Eliminates work-related accidents during the manual handling of heavy wheels
- Big manpower savings
