AUTOMATION

Intelligent automation of manufacturing processes is the key to higher productivity and better quality. Our individual and versatile automation solutions will raise your machine to a production system of high efficiency and increased profitability.

The right materials flow system is crucial for a company’s productivity and performance, and consequently also for its competitiveness. To streamline process flows, LIPPERT collaboratively gathers existing data from consulting and planning to the design and rollout stages. It delivers all-inclusive automation solutions by coupling conventional materials handling and automation technology with long-standing experience in (special purpose) machine engineering.

With LIPPERT you get:

• The world’s first portable robotic unit sorting system featuring 100% plug & play flexibility and risk mitigation.
• Unique robots in multiple models and with interchangeable parts and components.
• Patented robot, process and IP navigation designs which are the core of the system.
• All critical functions controlled via proprietary cloud-based software with a robust roadmap.
• Mobile sorting platforms featuring modular, flexible, portable and rapidly deployable systems which make it possible to set up everything from backrooms to huge DC layouts in any configuration.
• Integration with key partners for Pick-and-Place, automated dispensing, Goods-to-Person/ASRS order picking systems and key leading technologies and suppliers.

ADVANTAGES

• Increased production output
• Shortened cycle times
• Greater precision
• Reliability and repeatability
• Human-machine interaction optimises the work process

DORST TECHNOLOGIES integrates automation systems and accessories tailored to the individual press and forming process for a smooth material flow from feeding the powder to supplying the parts to the next process step.

Proven standard solutions right from the press manufacturer ensure that the automation system will fit in seamlessly with the pressing cycle in terms of both mechanical coupling and the logical and functional integration into your forming process. For that purpose, all interfaces between the systems are perfectly compatible.

User prompting for standard solutions is part of the visualization system of the press. In case a standard solution will not suffice, we will devise together with you an individual solution that will meet your specific requirements.

PART REMOVAL SYSTEMS FOR AXIAL POWDER PRESSES AND SIZING PRESSES

• Gripper at the filling shoe – suitable for single and multi-cavity tools – for gripping and presenting pressed parts after demolding, the process being synchronized with the pressing cycle.
• Pneumatic or servo-motorized linear axes with short Z stroke for easy point-to-point movement for removal of the parts.
• Integrated robot systems for flexible part removal in all applications.
• Standardized automation solutions for part removal, including various accessories. Modular extensible design with the possibility to add balances, cleaning devices, depositing in patterns on sintering trays or plates.

ACCESSORIES FOR AUTOMATION SYSTEMS FOR AXIAL POWDER PRESSES

• Semi or fully automated transport systems for self-propelled die sets on rails.
• Independent simulation devices for moving die set levels when setting up the tool outside the press.
• Set-up and turning device for the upper or lower part of a die set or tool carrier outside the press.
• Die set parking stations.

PART REMOVAL SYSTEMS FOR CERAMIC POWDER PRESSES AND PRESSURE CASTING PLANTS

• 6-axis robot systems for powder presses for the removal of pressed articles, with the possibility to add weighing systems and transport devices for articles.
• 6-axis robot systems for pressure casting plants for the removal of tableware articles and for combining several plants to one production cell.

INDIVIDUALIZED ALL-IN-ONE SYSTEMS AND SPECIAL SYSTEMS

• Individual automation solutions according to the customer’s needs.
• Realization of complete automation lines for powder forming and ceramic pressure casting.

COBOTS

POLYWARE COBOT ORDER PICKING

LIPPERT has an order collection system, with the following functions:

• Restructuring and transferring only 100% read packaging codes
• 24/7 order picking: use of the cobot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year
• Picking new goods and returned and repackaged goods: verification of the picking order by scanning EAN, QR, 1D, 2D or plain text barcodes
• Option to also evaluate company-specific control codes
• Option to build in a feasibility check by monitoring the weight of the items
• Option of colour sorting or re-sorting mixed goods boxes into single-item boxes

ADVANTAGES

• The picking unit features standard industrial components which can be found all over Europe
• The cobot’s low safety requirements when interacting with people allow the operator to work with the picking cobot with no need for a robot cell
• A single operator can supervise several order picking systems
• The cobot can serve two “stations”, each with an order box/belt with their incoming and outgoing lines
• Coupling with an AGV enables more combinations of stations to be supported
