MOLD HANDLING: PRECISION IN COUPLING
THE CHALLENGE
IN THE GLASS INDUSTRY, MOLD HANDLING IS A DELICATE PHASE WITH A HIGH RISK OF ERROR. THE CUSTOMER CONTACTED US TO SOLVE A SPECIFIC CRITICALITY: THE NEED TO HANDLE MOLDS COMPOSED OF TWO HALVES, KEEPING THEM PERFECTLY COUPLED DURING ALL MOVEMENT PHASES.
MANUAL HANDLING DID NOT GUARANTEE THE REQUIRED PRECISION AND ENTAILED RISKS FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE MOLD AND FOR THE OPERATOR'S SAFETY, AS WELL AS SLOWING DOWN THE PRODUCTION FLOW.
THE SOLUTION
THE SOLUTION DESIGNED BY PRECISION ROBOTICA INVOLVED THE USE OF A ROBOTIC SYSTEM EQUIPPED WITH A CUSTOM GRIPPER, ABLE TO GRASP THE MOLD FIRMLY AND SYMMETRICALLY, KEEPING THE TWO HALVES JOINED WITH VERY TIGHT TOLERANCES. THE ROBOT CARRIES OUT THE PICK-UP, TRANSPORT AND POSITIONING IN A COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC WAY, WITH CONSTANT PRECISION AND ACTIVE CONTROL OF THE COUPLING.
