Scaglia Indeva - Indeva Intelligent Device for Handling model Liftronic, Pneumatic manipulator series PN, Indeva load gripping toolings, INDEVA AGV
Scaglia Indeva belongs to Scaglia Group established in 1838 by Scaglia family. The group now encompasses four Companies still in the ownership of Scaglia family; their core businesses cover a wide range of business interests worldwide. At the end of 1970 Liftronic was born. A revolutionary material handling system that allows loads of up to 320 kg to be lifted and moved completely effortlessly. Scaglia SpA was the first Company to be awarded with the UNI EN ISO 9001:1994 Quality System Certification (today ISO 9001.2008) for the design, production and sale of material handling systems. In 2004, Scaglia Spa split and the former Material Handling Division became Scaglia INDEVA SpA.
Scaglia Indeva is a world class leader in the design and manufacturing of state of the art industrial manipulators, material handling systems and lean manufacturing solutions. The manipulators by INDEVA are the ideal solution for handling reels, cases, drums, bottles, etc.. in a quick, ergonomic and safe way. They are used, for example, to load reels unto shrinkwrapping machines, or to unload cardboard cases from the palletizer. They are present worldwide wit a network of branches, distributors and agents. Their headquarters and production unit, which cover an area of 15,000 square meters with about 120 employees, is in Italy at Brembilla, at about fifty kilometers from Milan.
Indeva Intelligent Device for Handling model Liftronic
Industrial manipulator with electronic control and electric power better referred to as Indeva (Intelligent device for handling). Among its various cutting edge technology features, what makes it really unique is the auto weight sense and auto balancing feature. The Indeva reacts in real time and moves in the required direction with the application of very few grams of force; thanks to its sensibility that allows no space for inertia forces, it is possible to position even the most delicate product in a gentle, precise, yet quick way. An Indeva can be overhead rail or column or ceiling mounted, and can be equipped with a wide range of gripping toolings: with magnet, by vacuum, or mechanical /pneumatic/electric/ clutch, with rotation, if needed.
Pneumatic manipulator series PN
Pneumatic manipulator PN series can be designed according to the ATEX regulations regarding applications in controlled environments with danger of explosion, classified classes 1 and 2 (Gas). They feature pneumatic control and drive. They can be rail or column or ceiling mounted and equipped with custom designed gripping toolings for handling unbalanced loads such as large size reels, pallets and containers

INDEVA AGV
AGV automated guided vehicle for carrying materials and components along the assembly line; the INDEVA AGV is the ideal solution for material move in a production line; it features modular pipe and joints structure (Indeva Lean System), thus can easily be designed and then modified to suit custom requirements and different loads.








A well known publishing Company needed to improve productivity and find a quicker and safer way to lift cases full of books from the pallet and move them unto the conveyor. Each case weighs about 60 kg. And the operation is repeated several times a day; the manual handling was too slow and unsafe; a traditional electric hoist wouldn't have made it faster enough. Moreover the handling operation needed to be very smooth and user friendly, as well as ergonomic and safe for the operator. An hoist compels the operator to keep the up - down button constantly pressed , with possible hazard to his health (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), and it may discourage him to keep using the hoist and induce him and carry out the handling operation manually again.
Indeva, model Liftronic EASY E80R, overhead mounted manipulator complete with gripping tool by vacuum for lifting long steel tubes and releasing them into a lathe.
To assembly lawnmowers a Company needed two workers who manually had to pick, lift, rotate by 180° and precisely position the product (weighing 30 kg) on the assembly line: this operation required consistent physical strain with non ergonomic movements for the two workers, with consequent risk of product damage and cumulative trauma injuries. Furthermore the tack time could never be achieved.
An INDEVA model Liftronic Vacuum Grip with gripping system by vacuum to lift cardboard cases. The cases must be placed into a larger case; to this end the handles have been specially designed for allowing the end-effector (gripping tool) to be lowered deep into the larger case.
