TCI Cutting, a leading company in the manufacture of laser and waterjet cutting machines, industrial automation and production management software, has launched a new compact automation system onto the market. The Spanish based manufacturer says the system saves 60% space, compared to other standard automation solutions.
This system (Automation Systems Compact Load & Unload Storage) brings together the automation of loading, unloading and storage in a compact and user-friendly configuration. This solution has been specially developed for customers with limited space in their production facilities.
The lifting and discharging modules are independent, as the load is executed from the front while the discharge movement is produced from the rear. This two-module system streamlines movements and speeds up the production process.
The automatic storage racks incorporate five trays with a load of up to 3,000kg each, with a sheet thickness of up to 12mm.
The new automation solution can be integrated into the Dynamicline Fiber 1530 laser cutting machine. This machine for flat cuts (2D) of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, is highly autonomous thanks to its intelligent functions allowing a 24/7 productivity.
The integration of this solution with TCI’s Manager Lite software facilitates data control and allows the optimisation of machine performance in real time.
TCI Cutting’s factory in Valencia, Spain is structured in ten business units and has a showroom where its laser and waterjet cutting machines and scalable automation systems are on display, along with its production management software to optimise the benefits of the Smart Factory.
