The assignment was to develop an automated insulation cutting line that allows different thicknesses of PIR insulation to be glued, cut and labeled. The line must fit well with the current production process and meet:
First, various automation concepts and layouts were developed and analyzed with a team from Voorbij Prefab, Twin-Tech and external experts (VosTeQ). This ultimately resulted in an efficient layout in which existing machines were combined with custom solutions. The entire system was developed, built, tested, installed and commissioned by Twin-Tech as a turnkey project.
An automatic insulation cutting line was realized where the PIR insulation can be fed into stacks and then automatically cut to size. Nesting software is used to calculate the most ideal layout in sheets after which the contours are then cut out with a water jet cutter. The installation consists of:
