DEVELOPment of an automated solution with Cobot to unload boxes and fill a filling installation with empty plastic cups

Vandemoortele at Izegem was looking for an automated solution to unload carton boxes, containing piles of plastic butter cups and load them into the filling station. A cobot was used to ensure a limited footprint. The safety of the operators is ensured by means of a Pilz safety scanner.

Development of an assembly pressure unit and testing equipment for the medical industry

TMR Plastics, a producer of plastic parts for the automotive and medical industry, needed a straightforward unit to help them assemble medical components for their customer Bedal. Our pressure unit makes sure the different components our mounted together in a repeatable way. Furthermore, we provided Bedal with a conveyor to be able to pretreat their parts with a Corona-treatment. 

Integration of Cobot for (un)loading Lathe

We were asked to integrate a robot to load and unload a Lathe on the Haco FAT booth on the EMO. We managed to pull this of in a very short period of time and integrated the cobot fully into the new Siemens Sinumerik One control.

Retrofit of Baguette production machine

To avoid down time and the risk of not finding any spareparts, our customer Crelem Bakeries asked us to perform a retrofit on their baguette production machine. We changed the PLC from an old Omron control to a new Siemens control and wrote the necessary software to keep the machine up and running. The people of Crelem now have the correct software and correct electrical drawings of the machine which they still use in daily production. ​

Temperature and moisture measurement and logging

Our customer Vitalo has different gluing cells. Their customers oblige Vitalo to measure and save these parameters to ensure the right ambient conditions during the gluing process. The sensors needed to be certified as well. 
We used web-based sensors and wrote our own Logging PC program, so the data could be saved on Vitalo's local server. 

Flat belt conveyor combined with 2 separate X-axis

This specific testing unit has been designed for machine manufacturer Primetals.
For a specific upgrading project, Primetals wanted to exclude risks and win time by using this test equipment to simulate a glass cutting process.
Paper on a roll is transported by a servo driven flat belt conveyor and a pen is moved up and down the paper by a servodriven axis. 

Pull grinding unit

Pull grinding is a machining technology to remove a small metal layer with high precision on the inside of cylindrical parts. This unit has been built specifically for the production of hydraulic cylinders. The positions of the moving axis containing the pull grinding tool can be adjusted via teaching, which is a user-friendly way of programming. 
This machine has been developed for www.janvandeneeckhout.be.

electrical cabinets

Electrical cabinets can be made for a variety of applications, following the needs of the customer.
Examples are: 
  • electrical cabinet to control a screw to transport cement.
  • electrical cabinet to control a conveying unit.
