600 pieces/hour, laundry does not ask for people | FANUC robots help the industrial laundry industry

In the context of globalization, the textile and apparel industry is facing quarterly labor shortages and insufficient equipment numbers. At the same time, there are unfavorable factors such as noise, temperature and humidity, and air cleanliness in the textile workshop that affect the work of operators. The two pain points are superimposed, and it is urgent to promote the automation of the textile industry.

The industrial laundry industry handles a large number of washing tasks in a highly automated environment, where the folding process is usually done by equipment, but each machine usually requires workers to manually unfold the textile to be folded, smooth out the wrinkles, and then load the material to the machine, which is monotonous and unproductive.

Aschenbrenner, a laundry company in Germany, uses FANUC robots in industrial laundry to achieve a high degree of automation, sorting dirty textiles and loading folding machines, with the robot cell capable of processing up to 600 textiles per hour.

Project Highlights:

Compact design: The M-10iD/12 robot adopts a built-in cable design, and the high-rigidity arm realizes high-speed and high-precision robot motion performance; And can complete the job efficiently in a small space

High flexibility: Thanks to the 3D vision system, the robot can easily feed towels or linen fabrics of different sizes into the folding machine

Stable and reliable: Years of experience have confirmed the high reliability of FANUC robots, which can cope with the harsh working environment of the laundry room
