Automating manual product stacking at Knauf Insulation

For Knauf Insulation we developed STACKER, a mobile machine that replaced manual stacking of insulation panels at the end of the production line - prepared for the robotic line that follows.

Feeding systems

Feeding oiled metal parts for ESCO Fofonjka

A linear feeder built as a double aluminium track on a single AFAG drive, coated with a special finish for oiled metal parts - part of the LINKO machine for ESCO Fofonjka in Bjelovar.

Feeding systems

Feeding screws at 60 parts per minute for EGO Elektrokomponente

A bowl feeder that orients screws with washers and feeds them to the electrical switch assembly line at EGO Elektrokomponente in Zagreb, with a capacity of 60 parts per minute on an AFAG drive.

Machine building

Automating bag labelling and stacking for SANO

Labelling bags with declarations by hand was slow and depended on the worker on the line. We built PANDE, an automatic station that picks up unlabelled bags, prints declarations on the fly and stacks the finished bags into a bundle at the output.

Feeding systems

A quieter, adaptable blister packaging line for GUMACO SA

The enclosed DOBLI vibratory feeder singles out blisters containing milling cutters and drills at GUMACO SA in Perroy, Switzerland - connected to the client's production line PLC via a Harting quick connector.

Machine building

Eliminating adhesive leakage when stacking PTC heaters for TDK Šumperk

Gluing ceramic plates for PTC heaters by hand was slow, and adhesive leaked out at the sides. We built GLUSTA, a semi-automatic machine that takes the plates from the press, glues them and stacks them.

Feeding systems

Automated feeding of GFP parts on an assembly line for Sensata

Six bowl and linear vibratory feeders for an assembly line of plastic GFP connector parts at Sensata Technologies in Bulgaria - all on AFAG drives, with Harting connectors for control directly from the line PLC.

Feeding systems

Feeding plastic cylinders without damage for Strojotehnika

Large climbing step feeders for hollow plastic cylinders that require gentle handling - two systems built on AFAG drives for Strojotehnika in Zagreb.

Feeding systems

Feeding springs without tangling for ESCO Fofonjka

The OPRA rotary drum feeder feeds springs one at a time into the outlet tube at ESCO Fofonjka in Bjelovar - inserting a ball in front of each spring to prevent tangling, with its own Siemens LOGO! control.

Machine building

Automating the ejection of electronic components for TDK Croatia

Parts coming from processing sit in a carrier grid and have to be removed. We built KOTRA, a machine that ejects the parts with a hydropneumatic press and handles the grid magazines on its own.
