Bauromat Solves Customer's Integration Nightmare
Choosing the right integration partner is as important as the integration itself. One customer approached Bauromat after being left with a ill performing and unsafe system, this is the story of how the problem was solved.
Telford based robotic and automation solutions provider Bauromat, has successfully completed an installation of a robotic TIG welding system, featuring a KUKA robot, for a Staffordshire fabrications company Mec Com.
The installation completes an almost 3-year saga for Mec Com which involved unnecessary costs, stress and project delays, the result of choosing the wrong integrator.
The reason? Mec Com had selected an initial partner with no knowledge of automated welding and little knowledge of correct practice.
"We're delighted we've found a partner that can walk us through future projects and integration. The next thing we need to automate, we'll speak to Bauromat." said Mec Com MD Richard Bunce.
"We now have a solution and robotics is a field we can get involved in. The concept wasn't wrong, we just picked a bad partner."
Scrapping the original cell, Bauromat manufactured a system from scratch that solved all the issues of the customer's original needs and allowed them to become automation flag bearers.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
