GIMATIC & FOXCCON: AN APPLICATION BASED ON THE SHELL OF A MOBILE PHONE

Gimatic has good cooperation with Foxconn in China. Especially in parallel grippers series and quick change series.

Now let’s show you the application based on the shell of a famous mobile phone:
At the beginning, the Robot carries a housing of the shell (including the shell) to the fixed position to do some machining work. Robot releases the housing before machine and combine with another EQC75-B which carries GS gripper.
Because of outline requirement and processing method, it needs to change another tool during the process. This set of device is used for change tool for machine equipment.
Even some shells have to be polished after machine. EQC change end tooling once again and back to the housing with shell.
In whole process EQC changes and tooling every 20 seconds and GS gripper support changing tool bit. Every step smooth and compact. Gimatic helps customers in reducucing labor costs and increasing maximum level of efficiency.
In order to resist to the bad environment when machining, Gimatic promotes the IP class of EQC. Fully enclosed electronic connector, all metal sensoraluminum bracket and anti-resist bending cable.

These make this system more durable and stabilize.

GIMATIC & TECMES : FAST ASSEMBLY OF CAPSULE AND COFFEE

Tecmes is an Autorotor Group company specialising in the design and production of special machines. Tecmes systems are used in various industrial sectors: automotive components, cosmetics, electrical, medical and pharmaceutical components, plastic components and food. A distinctive feature of the machines is the kinematics of the mechanical movements, driven by a single electric motor.

Because of their cam and leverage mechanical function, Tecmes machine movements are extremely fast. The pneumatic operation alone is left to the workpiece grippers. These are hi-tech pneumatic products specially developed for a single application. In collaboration with the Tecmes technical department, Gimatic has developed extremely fast grippers. But that’s not all. These are components suitable for contact with food.

Tecmes supplies numerous food and cosmetics companies. In the food industry, it specialises in the assembly of coffee capsules. Lavazza, Segafredo, Kimbo, Mokador, Espresso Cap, Co.Ind. and To.Da. are just some of the companies that rely on the productivity of Tecmes mechanical systems for capsule assembly. These machines can operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, unsupervised. The numbers are impressive. Over 1.3 million coffee capsules are produced in a working week.

The concept of quality is one of the key variables that companies must consider today. For this reason, the company – based in Vaiano Cremasco (Cremona) – turned to Gimatic for the supply of pneumatic grippers for the positioning and handling of capsules. This is mainly the XP20-A model, a gripper designed to meet some of the needs of the food industry. The XP20-As are equipped with stainless steel jaws and an acetal resin guide. The latter is essential for a proper seal to prevent coffee powder (or other food residues) from reducing the gripper efficiency. In addition to food applications, Gimatic supplies Tecmes with high-efficiency compact grippers (the SGPs have a 95% energy efficiency) and high speed grippers (the HSs work with frequencies from 5 to 6 Hz).

The Gimatic choice was also weighted for energy certification needs of Tecmes machines. Users are increasingly demanding reduced electrical and pneumatic consumption. Suppliers of PLCs, as well as electro-pneumatic and electromechanical components, were also chosen based on the energy-saving performances of their products.

GIMATIC & DENSO : GMP “A” CLEANROOM GRIPPING SOLUTION

Gimatic in cooperation with Denso, leading company in 6 axis robots and SCARA, has created a solution to enlarge the application of our products to HIGHLY clean manufacturing areas thanks to high cleanliness level (ISO04) and GMP assessment (Grade A/B). To reach the highest level of certification MPPM1606-GMP-KIT has been tested by the IPA Fraunhofer Institute in Stuttgart in every condition also together with the Denso Robot.

The hand is composed by our electric parallel gripper (MPPM1606), silicon cover, special stainless steel fingers and ISO flange to be fix directly on Denso Robot. The hygienic design cover is made by SILPURAN 6000 silicon form Wacker FDA/ EHEDG approved especially for Medical application.External fingers have a special and hygienic design to let customer remove end fingers and wash the solution by VHP or UV procedure.All the system is fixed to the robot flange by our special Aluminum interface with 40 µm oxidation and ISO standard (ISO9409-1).

MPPM1606-KIT-GMP can be washed by VHP procedure (H2O2 Peroxide Hydrogen) or Ultraviolet (UV) thanks to special and smooth design that keep closed the system up to IP65 degree.
