Safety, precision, and a rapid return on investment with TECNOCAT handling systems

In the glass industry, where precision and safety are essential, the efficiency of production processes depends largely on the technology used for glass handling and lifting. The combination of TECNOCAT’s lifting equipment with advanced suction cup systems represents a revolution in terms of safety, productivity, and waste reduction, ensuring a more competitive and profitable company.

SAFETY FOR OPERATORS AND GLASS

Dual-circuit suction cups and motorized systems

Manual handling of large and heavy glass involves considerable risks for operators. Cuts, fractures, and muscle injuries are some of the most common accidents.

Thanks to the combination of lifting equipment with state-of-the-art suction cups, risks are significantly reduced through:

-Suction cups with a double safety circuit, which guarantee a firm grip and prevent accidental falls.

-Assisted rotation and tilting, which allow for safe maneuvers without exposing operators to unnecessary stress.

-Motorized lifting systems, which eliminate manual glass handling and facilitate precise positioning throughout each process.

The implementation of these systems allows factories to comply with occupational safety regulations and significantly reduce costs associated with accidents and operational downtime.

EFFICIENCY WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART EQUIPMENT

Workflow Optimization

In a highly competitive market, speed in glass handling and assembly is a determining factor. The integration of advanced suction cups with lifting equipment allows for up to 40% optimization of production times, thanks to:

-Increased speed in glass handling and positioning on production and assembly lines.

-Reduction in downtime, by eliminating the need for constant manual adjustments by operators.

-Workflow Optimization, with equipment designed to integrate seamlessly into automated production.

Thanks to this technology, companies in the sector can increase their production capacity without compromising quality or safety.

PRECISION TO MINIMIZE LOSSES

Smart Vacuum and Motion Control Systems

One of the biggest challenges in the glass industry is reducing waste. Each piece damaged by poor handling represents a significant loss in production costs. The integration of vacuum equipment has allowed our clients to reduce losses by more than 30% thanks to:

-Smart vacuum sensors, which detect pressure variations and automatically adjust grip.

-High-precision motion control, preventing impacts and slippage.

-Design adaptable to different glass thicknesses and formats, ensuring careful handling of each piece.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Reduced operating costs

One of the key aspects for the industry is the speed with which an investment can be recovered. Thanks to the combination of high-efficiency lifting and vacuum cupping systems, the payback period is typically completed in less than 12 months due to:

-Savings in labor costs, by reducing the need for additional operators.

-Fewer production interruptions, thanks to faster and safer handling.

-Reduced waste, minimizing losses and optimizing glass utilization.

By reducing operating costs and increasing productivity, investing in advanced vacuum lifting and gripping solutions becomes a key factor for business profitability.

 

ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATING SUCTION CUPS AND LIFTING EQUIPMENT

-Compatibility with different glass formats and thicknesses.

-Improved ergonomics, reducing operator fatigue.

-Integration with automation and centralized control systems.

-Less maintenance, longer durability, and improved energy efficiency.

TECHNOLOGY DRIVING THE GLASS INDUSTRY

Investing in lifting equipment combined with high-precision suction cups is a strategic decision that directly impacts the productivity, safety, and profitability of an industrial facility. Process optimization and reduced operating costs allow companies to be more competitive and respond efficiently to market demands.
