Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Weckenmann first successfully completed a project in 1998 involving automatically positioning threaded sleeves. In that project in Japan, a system was implemented that could position up to four different threaded sleeves fully automatically and fix them by means of hot-melt adhesive. In many precast concrete production facilities, increasing importance is being attached to the automatic placement of inserted components, magnet boxes and/or magnets for inserted components. Such systems are often set up during modernisation work. Weckenmann employed its great innovative strength and decades of experience to develop a logistics and positioning system for magnet boxes in modernising a shuttering robot at Bürkle in Sasbach, Germany. Magnet boxes are utilised e.g. for positioning and fixing door and window shuttering.
