| Résumé : |
Continual efforts to improve production speed, reduce downtime and drive profitability in the fi ber processing industry are fuelling increased take-up of mobile modular creels which allow offline loading and unloading of large fi ber packages.
And now robotic handling technologies are helping fiber manufacturers increase the efficiency and accuracy of their processes yet further, by removing the need for manual handling and its associated weaknesses. Remote loading and unloading modular mobile creels enable fiber manufacturers to load packages of fiber away from the main creel, without interrupting production. Once loaded, the mobile module can be plugged into the production cycle with minimal downtime, set-up or format changes.
By automating the loading and unloading of the mobile creel, manufacturers can optimize the process even further, and in doing so in-crease the rate at which they feed fibers into downstream processes ; therefore driving productivity and profitability.
The operational benefits of loading and un-loading the creel offline using robotic tech-nology are clear and considerable. |
| Note de contenu : |
- INCREASED CAPACITY
- IMPROVED PRODUCTION CYCLE
- ENHANCED QUALITY
- THE PROCESS : 1. Package pallets are loaded into the system - 2. Mobile creel is loaded into the robot cell - 3. Bobbin pallets are loaded into the robot cell, and waste packaging pallets removed - 4. Starting the robot cell - 5. Empty bobbin cores are unloaded - 6. Bobbins are loaded onto the mobile creel - 7. Full mobile creel is loaded - 8. Quality control - Next step : Towards a fully autonomous system - incorporating AGVs |
