SYSTEMS

Tecsal has always been attentive to market developments and for years has invested in the research and development of automation systems and production line management. This type of system allows the frames to follow obligatory paths inside the local, considerably reducing operators’ intervention during the production process.

MACH System

We developed the MACH System, a software that can precisely control the various movements along the rail. This automatic transport system consents the improvement and optimization of the transport of products inside the factories, accompanying the product from its entry into the production cycle up to the most hostile environments, such as the cold room. This facilitates the workforce: the operators can remotely control and preset movements, avoiding direct contact with certain areas of production.

The MACH System is managed by configurable Touch Screen remote terminals, that enable both manual (during maintenance) and automatic movement commands for all components of the installation. The terminals can also display the status of the missions, the MACH conditions and set the system operating parameters, such as: SPEED, ACCELERATION RAMPS, TIMES, STOP SPACES.

MACH SYSTEM

An innovative technology

The MACH system is extremely versatile and can also be installed on pre-existing systems and reprogrammed at any time, easily adapting to different operating conditions. Compared to traditional systems, it has multiple advantages: it drastically reduces manual operations, makes handling in any type of environment and condition faster, safer and more efficient, guarantees advanced management of the entire process, lower costs and maximum productivity.

The benefits are even more evident in "hostile" environments (salting, refrigeration, freezing cells) and where there is a need for continuous and rapid movements of heavy loads even over long distances, MACH eliminates the most difficult and inconvenient manual operations for the operators.

AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

Step by step system

Tecsal developed a system of progressive and automatic frames advancement, according to the production flows and the processing phases. The operation, which can be both hydraulic and pneumatic, is based on the accompanying transfer mechanically effectuated along the sliding axis of the carriages on the rails.

The system can also be fit to accumulations at workstations or mandatory passages (like washing machines, loading robots, hoists) where systematic control of operations is needed.
