Efficient dust extraction
As part of our ongoing partnership with AniMA, we’re excited to unveil our latest breakthrough—a custom-designed 3D-printed wheel (Ø270mm) produced using the advanced ISLM280 metal printer. This precision-engineered component plays a pivotal role in enhancing dust control within our newest automated timber wall production line.
The wheel is mounted on an industrial robot responsible for performing key tasks such as milling, sawing, and nailing. As the robot moves between these operations, the wheel dynamically adjusts the length of the dust extraction tube to match the robot’s position, ensuring effective and continuous dust collection. In combination with a specially designed cylinder, this system optimizes the tube length for each task, significantly improving operational efficiency.
Solving practical challenges with innovative technology
This innovative solution stems directly from the feedback and requirements of our customers, underscoring our commitment to addressing real-world challenges with cutting-edge technology. By integrating this wheel directly from our engineering design process into manufacturing, we’re demonstrating the power of our metal printing capabilities to deliver custom, high-precision parts quickly and effectively.
Our collaboration with AniMA is a testament to our focus on delivering out-of-the-box solutions that drive optimized production. By leveraging 3D metal printing, we are able to produce components with unparalleled accuracy, streamlining the production process and meeting the unique demands of modern timber wall construction. This milestone marks yet another step forward in our journey to innovate and deliver superior solutions to our customers.
