An industrial robot automatically loads empty 6.5" spools from the pallet into the SpoolWinder SW6-14 and further increases the output. Cycle times are reduced and reliability is increased. With all cables and hoses firmly secured, movements are easily predicted, making off-line programming and simulations accurate representations of the actual robot system. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn more about the company’s solutions, and to meet with industry experts. Information will be available on all new software and mechanical updates, the latest know-how and technical Industry 4.0 implementations.
