Automation for the tableware industry

Thanks to its wide experience acquired together with other SACMI Group companies specialized in the sector (Sama Maschinenbau and Riedhammer), Gaiotto Automation leads the market with state-of-the-art automation solutions for the tableware industry.
Some of the main applications of this technology include; Smart handling during production processes, robotized support for piece finishing operations and handling of plaster moulds during piece casting.
Each project is studied in depth by Gaiotto’s engineering departments, which check feasibility and robot trajectories, to guarantee maximum flexibility and production capacity to meet customer requirements.

Robotized cells for finishing tableware

Anthromorphic robots configured to finish the edge of round, square and asymmetric articles. Fettling is generally carried out by grinding and/or sponging.

Robotized automation of tableware production lines

The addition of anthromorphic robots to complete production lines makes it possible to automatically control processes in a flexible way ensuring a high level of repeatability. Robotized pick&place operations connect the different stages of production.
