New EVO Technology
New Technology by Biele to boost your productivity and save costs
Biele’s high speed and accuracy handling system called EVO has been used during many years in various sectors in high demanding production lines.
In the newest generation of EVO, Biele has upgraded the system in a way that now becomes an all-in-one system for Feeding, Transferring and Stacking different type of substrates.
By means of the new EVO, the machine can get an output of 40-50 cycles/min of continuous production. The system is able to feed one or multiple panels in the width with a controlled gap in between them, as i.e., for feeding/stacking to and from a high-speed painting line.
The Feeding/Stacking/Positioning accuracy can reach up to +/- 1 mm tolerances.
The machine is also able to play the role of an automatic Outsorting system for B quality or defect panels with high speed and compact footprint. Typically, these are complemented with another EVO machine, to be able to Insort A quality pieces to the flow, so a stable stacking can be done in the stacking section.
The EVO machine, following Biele’s philosophy of Energy saving and optimization in all its designs, is demanding lower Energy Consumption compared to the alternative machines for same applications.
These Energy Savings are obtained by means of different concepts:
– Less moving parts: Compared to traditional Feeders/Stackers, the EVO system needs to move minimum parts to transport any panel instead of moving traditional vacuum heads (consequently needing bigger installed power and consumption).
– Controlled vacuum: The design of the system allows to require very low quantity of vacuum force compared to traditional systems for the handling of same products. In addition to this, the Frequency Drives installed in the turbines allow to adjust the vacuum according to the requirement (material, porosity, weight, shape…) of each piece.
This Energy Saving has been measured and checked in different applications, reaching to reduction rates up to 50% compared to the conventional handling systems used for the same applications.
This new generation of EVO machines is opening new paths in multiple applications where, in addition to the flexibility, high speed and accuracy of the system, it is helping our customers to reduce their utility costs and consequently become more competitive in the market.
