PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Simaxsu is an innovative mixed-clamping system designed to optimize the movement and handling of parts on assembly lines and press transfer processes.
The solution combines magnetic technology with additive manufacturing, improving operational efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and increasing flexibility in part loading and unloading operations. It is specifically designed for industrial processes in the automotive sector, where speed, precision, and adaptability are required in component handling.
The Simaxsu system reduces air consumption and minimizes the use of suction cups, thus contributing to sustainability and cost reduction on production lines.
SOLUTION AND TECHNOLOGIES
Simaxsu develops an industrial clamping solution that combines magnetic, pneumatic, and additive manufacturing technologies, aiming to optimize part handling processes on automated production lines.
Its system is based on a pneumatically actuated magnetic device, which allows parts to be held quickly and securely during loading, unloading, and transfer operations. This mechanism facilitates efficient clamping even in highly demanding production environments.
Simaxsu employs 3D printing technology to manufacture its components using both plastics and metals, allowing each part to be customized to the specific needs of each production line. This additive manufacturing not only provides lightness but also optimizes the design of the parts, improving their strength and adaptability.
The system is characterized by its hybrid integration, which combines plastic and metal elements in a single tool, achieving a balance between weight reduction and structural robustness. This configuration allows the components to withstand the mechanical demands of industrial production without compromising durability.
Furthermore, the solution is designed to be easily integrated into existing production lines, adapting to assembly and transfer systems with minimal modifications. This reduces both implementation times and associated costs.
Finally, the system optimizes air consumption in pneumatic processes, thereby reducing energy costs and reducing dependence on traditional suction cups. This improvement contributes to increased sustainability and operational efficiency in industrial plants.
Contributed innovation
Simaxsu introduces an innovative approach to industrial clamping systems by combining magnetic technology, pneumatic actuation, and additive manufacturing into a single solution. This integration addresses the current challenges of the industry, which demands greater flexibility, efficiency, and sustainability in automated processes.
One of the system’s main benefits is its ability to improve speed and precision in loading and unloading processes, optimizing cycle times and reducing downtime on production lines.
Thanks to the use of additive manufacturing, the solution offers lighter and more customizable parts, facilitating their integration into industrial robots and minimizing the load they must bear, thus improving their performance and extending their lifespan.
Another highlight is its ease of installation, as the modular design allows the system to be integrated into already operating lines without the need for significant structural changes, thereby reducing costs and avoiding prolonged production interruptions.
Furthermore, the system provides environmental and economic benefits by reducing air and suction cup consumption, resulting in lower energy costs and fewer disposable materials, thus promoting more sustainable processes.
Thanks to this combination of efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability, Simaxsu is positioned as a key solution for optimizing handling processes in the automotive sector, offering companies advanced tools that allow them to improve their competitiveness and reduce their environmental impact.
