FAQ - Your questions, our answers
What is an automatic door in the context of industrial automation solutions?
The automatic door is a side-mounted, pneumatically controlled door that serves as a crucial link between a processing machine and an industrial automation system. Its main function is to enable automatic loading and unloading of the processing machine by a gripper, thereby optimizing the production process.
What are the advantages of using an automatic door?
The use of an automatic door from Indumatik significantly increases production flexibility. A reliable, efficient and adaptable automatic door is crucial for a smooth production environment. It enables an automated material flow, reduces manual intervention and thus helps to increase overall efficiency.
Can a processing machine be retrofitted with an automatic door?
Yes, if the machine does not have an automated loading door, Indumatik can retrofit one. The retrofitted automatic door is controlled via the Indumatik PLC (programmable logic controller) to ensure seamless integration into the existing automation system.
Are there alternatives if side entry is not possible?
Yes, due to lack of space or machine geometry, various standardized models are available, including trap doors, to ensure flexible integration.
Which models of automatic doors are available from Indumatik?
Indumatik offers standardized models of automatic doors to meet different space requirements and machine geometries, as lateral insertion is not always possible. For example, there is the "automatic door" with external dimensions of 600 x 815 mm and internal dimensions of 440 x 670 mm, as well as the "automatic drop door" with external dimensions of 540 x 1462 mm and internal dimensions of 440 x 670 mm.
What advantages do zero-point clamping systems offer in terms of accuracy and efficiency?
Zero-point clamping systems offer high positioning accuracy and contribute to improved efficiency and optimization of the total cost of ownership. They are characterized by precision, efficiency and flexibility.
Are there accessories or options for zero point clamping systems?
Yes, there are various accessories and options such as shuttle carriages (for quick changeover between automation and manual operation) and automatic doors (for retrofitting or automating existing doors for loading).
How is the automatic door controlled?
The automatic door is controlled centrally via the Indumatik PLC (programmable logic controller). This ensures precise and synchronized movement of the door in line with the loading and unloading processes of the processing machine by the gripper.
What other accessories or options are available to optimize the workflow?
In addition to the automatic doors, Indumatik offers other accessories and options to increase efficiency. These include the transfer carriage, a solution for quickly switching between automation and manual operation without floor installation, and prepallets, which integrate clamping technology into the pallet and enable workpieces to be changed in just a few seconds.
