Automation and flexibility – the new Gabbiani GT cell with robot

In response to the ever-growing market need to produce both in batch 1 and in larger runs, SCM has developed a new, highly flexible process solution that involves the use of a gabbiani gt2 single-blade panel saw, with an articulated robot positioned on the ground at the front left of the machine. 

SCM is proud to claim that the cell, presented as part of the Smart&Human Factory concept for the furniture industry production model, is “the only exclusive integrated solution currently on the market that allows for the switch from automatic operation to manual processing with an operator in a few seconds”.

The transition between automatic mode with robot and manual mode is immediate. The robot positions or removes the additional modules between the in-feeding tables, necessary for its correct operation. In automatic mode with robot, the cell permits operation without shift limits, relieving the operator from low-value work. It handles even small, finished pieces with ease, resulting in a large increase in productivity and quality.

Manual functioning with an operator, on the other hand, allows for cutting in packs, guaranteeing an increase in productivity.

The cell is configured with all the options required for a complete process: automatic labelling, rotary table for pre-cuts management, automatic ejection and management of trims, automatic system that guarantees the cleanliness of the worktable, automatic blade-scorer alignment system and articulated robot to handle and palletise the finished panels and offcuts. The solution can also be fully integrated with horizontal storage. 

Stop waste with the new Maestro optiwise software

Maestro optiwise, the new cutting optimisation software for the extensive range of gabbiani panel saws is designed to optimise the position and direction of the panel parts to be produced on the sheet, with a view to reducing material waste.

The aim at the root of the Maestro optiwise development is to achieve cutting excellence with minimum waste for production batches that are both large and small. 

The software allows you to simply establish the ideal solution in terms of times and costs thanks to powerful algorithms capable of working on multi-core systems. It also features external integrability towards any ERP, by importing the material storage and the cutting lists relating to the orders to be produced.

Dual direction office/factory 4.0 integration is another key attribute. The software allows programs relating to orders for completion to be sent instantaneously to the machine and to read the machining parameters for punctual and correct planning.
