Gripper assembly for enhanced robotic palletising
A motorised bag gripper assembly is the latest innovative solution to emerge from the Chronos Richardson comprehensive research and development programme
Valued at more than two and a half million Euros, the contract is for silica based tyre compounding systems for the Nizhnekamskschina factory in Tartarstan.
Taftnet one of the largest oil producing enterprises in the CIS owns Nizhnekamskschina.
The Nizhnekamsk factory was originally established in the early 1970s using West European technology.
Nizhnekamskschina has recently signed a new technical agreement to produce standard and high performance silica blend tyres to the exacting quality standards of the international tyre market.
Chronos engineers have been closely involved in devising an expansion programme for the Nizhnekamsk factory having first visited Tartarstan in 2001.
Since then they have worked closely with all partners in the project [NKS and RTI Rubber Technology] to devise the optimum factory development plan.
Initially the intention was to retrofit existing mixing lines, but the scheme that has been ordered is for a factory extension to incorporate two new mixing lines, one for Masterbatch compounds and one Final Mix line.
The scope of Chronos Richardson supply includes: carbon black and silica intake, transfer and weighing; polymer weighing and feeding; oils weighing and dosing; dust collection and material re-feed; two semi-automatic small chemical weighing systems with supervisory control.
"Our vast experience with West European tyre technology and a strong commitment to share and develop our knowledge with Nizhnekamskschina ensured we won this important contract", commented Regional Sales Manager, John Eaton.
He continued, "The first equipment will be delivered in March 2006 and will include globally proven technology along with our latest enhanced products".
He concluded, I am convinced that the progressive culture already demonstrated by Nizhnekamskschina will result in further plant investment".
