Alu-Point relies on automatic saw feed from euroTECH
<>Deutliche Produktionssteigerung durch kürzere Produktionszeiten.
Alu-Point, a company based south of Hanover, has succeeded in reducing production time and thus increasing production with the help of an automatically controlled saw feeder from euroTECH Handling GmbH in Rosenfeld near Balingen. The new system offers more convenient feeding of the cut-to-size saws. Managing Director Thorsten Otte is highly satisfied and draws a positive balance.
Alu-Point is a medium-sized company from Harsum in Lower Saxony, located between Hanover and Hildesheim. "For more than 30 years, we have had our own warehouse and our own logistics and have stood for consulting expertise in aluminum, non-ferrous metal, stainless steel, engineering plastics and the precise machining of these materials," says Managing Director Thorsten Otte, "both by machining and forming. Customer service, reliability and adherence to delivery dates are our top priorities in our day-to-day business." Alu-Point's customers include traditional machine, tool and mold manufacturers as well as automotive suppliers and suppliers to the aviation industry.
Alu-Point also supplies the furniture and wood industry as well as the automation and packaging machine sector and manufacturers of measuring and medical technology. Alu-Point uses the latest generation of saws to cut all materials to the tightest tolerances as required. In order to automate the saw feed and thus gain speed, the company was looking for a supplier who could implement an individual solution to this problem. "We want to automate our saw feed with a feeding system in order to save time and increase production," continues Thorsten Otte.
While searching for a suitable mechanical engineering company, Alu-Point became aware of the Swabian company euroTECH Handling GmbH from Rosenfeld. euroTECH offers integrated handling and transport solutions in the field of vacuum technology and develops customer-specific vacuum systems and components for automated handling tasks. The product portfolio includes vacuum components, vacuum lifting devices, vacuum suction boxes, vacuum robot equipment as well as testing and inspection devices. A well-coordinated team of designers and technicians works closely with the customer to develop proposals and supports the implementation from the initial design to the final handover to the customer.
Systems for loading and unloading processing lines are a relief in many respects. They protect the health of the operators and ensure quality-compliant and efficient work. In order to optimize the workflow of its two single-axis saws from Schelling, these were to be fed automatically in future. The requirements that Alu-Point had for the new saw feed system were, on the one hand, the ability to handle Alu-Point's extensive product portfolio with just one system. On the other hand, it had to be possible to pick up a wide variety of panels weighing up to 1.3 tons. The different formats also had to be picked up without any problems. Safe panel transport over a travel distance of more than 20 meters also had to be guaranteed. The feeding system also had to be easy to control.
The result is a feeding system that can control three positions of the sawing area from the output area. The 22-metre-long gantry runs along the back of the saw and feeds it from the rear with panels made of a wide variety of panel materials such as aluminum, non-ferrous metals or engineering plastics.
The saw requests the material via the Profibus system. The computer-controlled portal monitors compliance with all specifications. A high-performance vacuum system is used to pick up the material. The mechanical pick-up of the panels prevents surface damage. An integrated separation solution ensures trouble-free processes and thus increases safety. "We particularly liked the good accessibility and on-site service staff at euroTECH," emphasizes Thorsten Otte. "The collaboration quickly delivered good results, which not only satisfied me, but also our employees."
