2019 Has Been A Successful Year Through The Trade Fair Participations
Asteks, one of the most active participants of the prestigious international exhibitions organized up to now, exhibited it’s cots grinding machines and 101-AGV addition to the rubber cots and aprons to the global market, setting great satisfaction with both the visitors attraction and the consequencive business potential.
At the exhibition, advanced automation capability the 201-SF and 101-AGV were exhibited. The most prominent product in ASTEKS’ ITMA Barcelona booth was undoubtedly the 201-SF cots grinding machine with it’s high efficiency and automation power. These new generation cots grinding machines take their place among the most demanded models in quite short period after the market launch by its high productivity, superb operational process quality provided by advanced technology and user friendliness
The 201-SF ,that is the out-come of the firm’s innovative vision, offers fast and easy solution to cots grinding process, maintains diameter control by it’s sensitive laser control system without additional labour required. Besides these, by it’s automatic stone dressing set-up it offers superb automation ability. It withdraws considerably high positive attarcation and satisfaction from the users.
The machine, which performed during the exhibition, carries out the cots grinding process more easily, faster and at higher standards than ever before. Compared to other known machine types that can feed the cots one by one manually, this machine can be used to feed the cots in bulk and the cots can be automatically transferred to the grinding. This eliminates the need for keeping a dedicated labour continuously with the machine during the grinding process. It is sufficient for the operator to unload the cots collectively into the coots feeding chamber. Then, grinding process is carried out automatically thanks to the high automation of the 201-SF. In this way, the labour productivity of the cots grinding department increases and thus the maintenance cost in this area decreases.
Another automation solution offered by 201-SF is the measurement and sorting the cots of different diameters by means of the integrated diameter control mechanism. In this way, it is ensured that the cots other than the diameters determined according to the operating needs are separated without entering the grinding. Rather than the long and laborious process of measuring the cots diameters by hand with the known method of using a calliper, this system offers a great advantage for businesses. No separate process is required to sort the cots according to their diameters.
Another point that put 201-SF forward in the field is it’s cost-effectiveness. Compared to its European competitors, ASTEKS has made a strategic price positioning. As a cost-effective machine, 201-SF receives very positive respond from customers with this feature.
