Schiatti Angelo supports 4.0 automation with rotating trolley
A new rotating base combined with a CVB series of loaders/unloaders reinforces Schiatti Angelo’s commitment to Industry 4.0 automation for its glass processing machines.
The trolley allows glass sheets to be loaded and unloaded in a continuous cycle, reducing unproductive technical lead times.
The structure consists of a fixed ring base, on which rotates a slewing resting on rollers which, in turn, slide on the circumference of the base.
On the circular mobile support surface it is possible to position two glass-holder trolleys in a specular arrangement; once the use of a trolley is finished, the table rotates 180° and is positioned in such a way that the trolley used can be easily unloaded and replaced while the previously ‘waiting’ trolley is made available for use.
Schiatti’s rotating base is equipped with a sturdy structure and is proportionate to the loader model with which it is combined: in the top of the range model the table reaches a diameter of 3200mm and is able to support glass loads up to 10,000kg, for a maximum size of the 2000 x 2500mm slabs.
The turntable can be combined with existing loaders/unloaders.
