Robotic System is a First for Indian Sanitaryware Sector
A sanitaryware glazing robot built by Gaiotto Automation was recently installed at the Liberty Whiteware production plant in Neemrana in the Indian State of Rajasthan. The GA2000 is the first robot of its kind to be installed in India and is the cornerstone of a fully automated glazing station with a 4-position turret.The modular-type installation was specifically designed by Gaiotto technicians to ensure smooth interfacing with transport and transfer systems in the future. The designers guarantee that it is ideal for the glazing of both vitreous china and fireclay sanitaryware, with the turret – and turntable – being controlled as true supplementary robot axes.
This latest model, the GA2000, is said to be ideal for ceramic glazing and is extremely versatile: extensively tested, it offers reliability, precision and efficiency. Consequently, it ensures outstanding finished product quality says the company, especially, as in this case, where the GA2000 is used in conjunction with a Mass Control system to regulate glaze delivery.
This latest project will equip Liberty Whiteware – founded in 2005 by the Liberty Group (the world's fifth largest footwear manufacturer) with the aid of Sacmi Imola's technical support – with the tools it needs to conquer the Indian sanitaryware market.
