The machine is intended for processing vitrified clay pipes that are installed by drivage operations for sewer pipes. Vitrified clay pipes ensure an economical, reliable and sustainable sewage disposal due to their outstanding features such as extreme longevity, absolute resistance against physical and chemical loads as well as enduring impermeability.
To ensure that the individual pipe ends can be connected reliably without leaks, a precise machining of the pipe ends Read more ...

Application of a 2-component adhesive on various geometries of rotor blade shells of a wind-power-plant rotor blade size E 82.2. There are 4 forms in a row (length of the plant 214 m). One portal can be fastened only on a wall-sided guideway. A second support needs to be provided on the floor side.

Adhesive application:
In the first step, stays need to be glued in in the longitudinal axis of the pressure-sided rotor blade shell half. After the stays in Read more ...

The foil rolls or provided on a driverless vehicle. The handling system picks up the roll from there and transports it to the roll storage in which 52 foil rolls can be stored.
For shipping or for further processing, the gantry picks up individual rolls at the respective storage site and brings them again to a driverless transport system vehicle. The vehicle transports the foil rolls then to the next station.

Italy based Mazzucconi SpA, manufactures Foundry Automation for the Automotive Industry. They were challenged with designing and manufacturing a high availability system to automate a heat treatment process line that had to operate through an unattended shift pattern. The payload is very high at 3500 Kg and the cycle time required was also tight at 60 seconds. The process required the basket of components to be placed into the Oven and then after the heating process was Read more ...

Ultraseal International, manufacture Impregnation Process lines to ensure minimal scrap of cast products due to porosity problems. They needed to automate the handling of large baskets of metal components through one of its Impregnation Process lines, comprising various process tanks. The end user site was very limited in floor space and the roof height was low, therefore limiting the type of automation that could be used. The Impregnation process involved the use of Nitric Read more ...

In high-voltage applications welded aluminium pipes are used for gas insulated switchgear. In pressure resistant piping systems high currents are being switched under SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride) inert gas.
To prevent electric breakdown, the junctions of the gas-filled piping have to be smooth. Such a pipe consists of a cylindrical centre section with cast aluminium flanges welded on on both sides. To meet the requirements, the weldseams between centre section Read more ...

A special material supplier to the Aerospace Industry had to transfer heavy duty frames loaded with aluminium sheets having a total weight of 1,000kgs between four process tanks. The first tank was filled with a liquid salt solution heated to 650°C, the second tank was a quench tank to bring the temperature of the material down quickly. The third tank is a rinse tank and the fourth tank was a drier. The overall process cycle time was quite long at 10 minutes, but it was Read more ...

Gleason-Pfauter gear hobbler for gear-cutting of shaft- and wheel-shaped workpieces with all the profiles and shapes that occur regularly on the circumference of cylindrical workpieces. Feeding of all parts with a horizontal axis and two vertical axes with parallel gripper. Deposit of workpieces on an indexing chain belt integrated in the machine.

Concept for a versatile, fully automated production line for crankshafts. GÜDEL?s task is to link all the processing centres, buffers and transfer technology. The planning for car and truck crankshafts in just one physical production line with changing workpiece dimensions is the greatest challenge here.

Loading and unloading workpieces and also the diamond dressing gearwheels of a honing machine in the automotive industry.
The workpieces weigh 5 kg and have a diameter of up to 250 mm. The workpieces arrive lying on a circulating belt and must be loaded into the machine standing up.
The workpieces are loaded onto a hydraulic expansion chuck and the loading must, therefore, be very precise.
