At the K 2025 exhibition, Sytrama will present its robots equipped with several solutions focused on consumption reduction and operating costs optimization
SYTRAMA presents itself at K 2025 with 3 work islands, where Cartesian robots, anthropomorphic robots, external peripherals, and systems to control the production process and verify quality standards are operational.
Specifically, the first automation involves the use of a SYTRAMA S8-S model robot combined with a Nissei FNX110 IMM, where the moulded product is an aesthetic part made of PETG material. The robot, in addition to being used for part handling, will also be responsible for cutting the sprue using a dedicated station with nipper. The sprue is then released into a granulator that will grind it; the resulting material can be recirculated back into the IMM feeding system. By doing so, recycling the material allows to reduce the waste, with benefit for the environment and production economics.
The second automation involves another SYTRAMA S8-S robot paired this time with a NegriBossi Nova 5eT 110 IMM for moulding a thin-walled PC part. Here, too, the robot not only demoulds the part but also handles the sprue to be recycled.
Finally, the third automation features the integration of a 6-axis anthropomorphic robot combined with a NegriBossi Nova 5eT 180 IMM. The part, consisting of a flat PP lid, once demolded is deposited on a floating transport system that, by controlling the variation of the magnetic field, allows direct weighing. The part is then automatically transferred under a vision system for defect testing. If the test is positive, the part proceeds to a laser marking station for the application of a QR code containing its production info. In case the part does not pass the check, the automation recognizes it as a reject part and, through the handling robot, it is deposited in the granulator for material recycling.
Talking about the Green topic, the central theme of the K 2025 exhibition, another important aspect that SYTRAMA has developed on its robots is energy recovery during braking. In fact, using technologically advanced drives, all SYTRAMA robots are able to recover braking energy from the axes and then reuse it during cycle phases that are particularly heavy in terms of absorption. This reduces consumption and optimizes operating costs.
Another topic in Green is “Energy Saving” technology applied to compressed air consumption. This system allows to turn off the supply of the Venturi vacuum generators when the vacuum level reaches the upper threshold (which can be set by the control pendant) sufficient to hold the part to be handled. When the vacuum level falls below the minimum threshold necessary to hold the piece, the system automatically reactivates the generator only for the time strictly necessary to reach the upper threshold. This type of control provides considerable energy savings, especially in applications involving long or very frequent cycles of parts handling.
SYTRAMA has also adopted a remote assistance system on its robots using the Site Manager communication module, which is already in use by many customers. The cornerstone of this solution is to have a direct connection between the robot and our service department. This guarantees our customers that the SYTRAMA operator will assist remotely without a physical presence directly on site. This solution allows a reduction in travel and intervention costs. The clear economic benefits are thus complemented by an increasingly “green” vision of the company, also reducing the emissions associated with transfers.
SYTRAMA, your partner for automation, awaits you at K 2025 in Hall 15, stand C22.
