At IWF, booth #7553, Biesse will demonstrate stand-alone machines, as well as TWO automated solutions designed to simplify your production. Leverage the power of Biesse technology for seamlessly integrating additional production machinery, robotic automation, and after-sales support, ensuring efficient Machine-to-Machine integration and success in your manufacturing processes.
The first solution is an automated line with an Automatech Robot which enables the production of components for up to 150 kitchen cabinets per shift with only one operator. Biesse will demonstrate how to store, load, machine and sort different material types to be processed. These materials are to be automatically processed by routing, drilling, inserting dowels, finished with edgebanding and finally sorting the parts by cabinet. The cell includes a Winstore X2 material management system, auto loading a Rover A nesting cell, robotic offloading and part management through an Elix bore and dowel machine, followed by automatic transfer to a Stream A Smart edgebander. Traditional work cells to accomplish these production quantities can require over 4 operators while this automated solution reduces this number to a single operator.
The second is a ROS FT + Rover robotically operated system that unloads machine parts from a nesting machine. The ROS FT fits the needs of multiple customers, from the medium-sized craftsman who wants to optimize his workflow and reduce labor costs to the high production shop that wants to reduce waste, get their production fully automated or, to provide their custom department a high efficiency cell. The ROS FT’s dedicated unloading conveyor maximizes the machine’s working efficiency and increases productivity; it can use a vertical trolley to unload delicate parts and can sort panels to optimize the workflow after nesting. It is also a plug’n’play solution, perfectly integrated with the machine.
With dramatic labor market shortages and manufacturing labor rates continuing to increase, there’s no doubt that these automated solutions pay for themselves quickly with reduced labor costs alone. Additionally, manual labor can be relieved of monotonous jobs, replacing them with processes which have the most inherent value. These solutions are a direct response to the demand for smart automation in today’s manufacturing environment.
Biesse’s goal with both of the solutions at IWF, is to help customers maximize their labor resources in factory positions which requires the human touch and automating the positions that don’t.
