Handling Large Size Glass Panels

A Company needed to improve safety in the manual handling of large glass panels of different sizes (2m x 2m; 2m x 025m; 4m x 1m) and at the same time needed to ensure constant production output.

HANDLING CYCLE
• Gripping glass panels from trolley at 1500 mm height - panel in vertical position inclined by 5°, leaned on the short side;
• Rotation by +90°/-90°;
• Release on assembly line at 600 mm height.- panel in vertical position leaned on the long side.
• Cycle time: average 1000 -1200 glass panels in 10 hours.

After evaluation of different solutions only an INDEVA®, Liftronic® series has showed to be the ideal one.

The system is equipped with self balancing gripping tool for handling glass panels of 50 Kg. Load gripping is carried out by vacuum. Technical features of the electronic load balancer (evolved industrial manipulator INDEVA®)
