\n\u201cHowever, if it is true that the technology remains the heart of SCM\u2019s experience, the software and services are increasingly the guarantor element of a continuous and shared relationship with the client<\/em>\u201d, wrote the group in the press release dedicated to the event.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.xylon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CARGO.png\")
<\/p>\n
\nSCM continues to invest in the excellence of its customer service and, for the event, opened the doors to \u201cAutostore\u201d, its new automated spare parts warehouse. This innovation has allowed SCM to increase fivefold the pick-up speed of the codes and increase the number of orders handled within 24 hours by 26 percent. All this with an energy consumption of less than 0.1 kWh per robot, confirming the group\u2019s focus on sustainability.
\nSustainability which also means ergonomics and ease of use, made available to the operators of all the SCM machines by the renewed \u201ceye-M<\/strong>\u201d control panel, which makes the operator\u2019s work easier and offers modular programming and higher computing power.<\/p>\n
\nSCM\u2019s new Technology Center displayed automated and connected solutions, as well as interaction systems between humans, machines, articulated robots and AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) shuttles, software and digital services.
\nAmong these, the \u201cgabbiani gt2<\/strong>\u201d beam saw with articulated robot for automatic loading and unloading: a flexible cell that optimizes shifts and promotes the needs of machining that is both “batch 1” and based on large volumes. It can be used with or without the articulated robot, with automatic switch from one modality to another. All this enhanced by the new \u201cMaestro optiwise<\/strong>\u201d optimiser.
\nThe sizing and nesting cell is ideal for batch 1 with \u201cflexstore<\/strong>\u201d hp automatic storage and an articulated robot for unloading finished, small and discarded pieces. The\u00a0\u201cgabbiani p80<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0beam saw and the \u201cmorbidelli x200<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0nesting machining centre are both integrated into the automatic warehouse that ensures storage, labelling of the panels and direct loading onto the worktable of both machines, to protect the more delicate surfaces. Simultaneously, the \u201cgabbiani p80<\/strong>\u201d beam saw can also perform pack cutting with exceptional production levels.
\nThe \u201cstefani cell E<\/strong>\u201d edge banding cell combines the many advantages of \u201cstefani\u00a0x<\/strong>\u201d industrial edge bander in terms of productivity and quality with those of an automated and flexible interaction, thanks to the pickback gantry panel return system. The electronic touch operating units guarantee top finishing quality even on the most delicate materials, while the new hi-drive kit increases the positioning speed of the units for high productivity even in batch 1 production. All this with a simple and intuitive control thanks to \u201cHMI Maestro active edge<\/strong>\u201d software.
\nThe \u201cmorbidelli cx220<\/strong>\u201d drilling and dowelling flexible cell with robot allows to produce all furniture elements more efficiently, even with workpieces that differ considerably from one another. The cell produces one panel per minute and over 400 panels per shift, with one operator, in 50 square meters. It can be used exclusively with the robot for a continuous cycle production, or with partial operator supervision.<\/p>\n
\nAs to edgebanding, the official opening of the Technology Center saw the debut of the new \u201cMaestro edgestore<\/strong>\u201d software for centralized control of the customer\u2019s edges: it ensures their use and position in the warehouse are always under control, as well as sharing information with software and company management systems.
\nAlso on display was the \u201colimpic 500<\/strong>\u201d automatic compact edge bander. Versatile use of different kinds of glue, Eva and Pur and the machining of two real radii thanks to the Multiedge devices available on all the operating units including the rounding unit.
\nAlso making its d\u00e9but was the \u201colimpic 300<\/strong>\u201d, a new edge bander for small artisan businesses. It allows to perform a wide variety of processes like the two real radii machining with simple automatic settings, 45\u00b0 chamfering and the upper and lower edge finish of the panel in differentiated mode.
\nA completely new entry was the \u201colimpic 500plus<\/strong>\u201d edge bander for even higher productivity, processing solid wood lippings up to 12 mm and gluing plastic edges by using hot air technology for an invisible glue line.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.xylon.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/OLIMPIC-500-PLUS.png\")
<\/p>\n
\nFor assembly, the featured \u201caction e<\/strong>\u201d is now available with the new unloading loading system: a valuable aid for mounting the cabinet at the working height of the clamp and pushing it into the pressing area as well as vertically positioning mounted cabinets and transporting them to the next work area.
\nThe \u201caction p<\/strong>\u201d manual loading and unloading electromechanical clamp machine has also been revamped: the new operator interface (HMI) allows for even simpler and more intuitive operation and enables import and export of work programs, production data and general database.<\/p>\n
\nThe Grand Opening was also the opportunity to discover a world preview inside the expanded factory in Rimini, the new \u201csystem 9<\/strong>\u201d integrated line for windows and doors manufacturing, which includes another absolute novelty: the \u201ccelaschi action<\/strong>\u201d double-sided tenoning machine. The SCM line stands out for the rapidity in its setup change and the extreme flexibility in the management of workpieces with different dimensions, allowing the production up to 200 complete windows per working shift, even with medium-small batches. The new \u201ccelaschi action\u201d, in particular, allows to process two elements of different lengths simultaneously, exploiting the principle of machining with moving motors and stationary workpieces. Among the pluses, the presence of 4 electrospindles each one served by a 6-position tool changer.
\nThe Rimini factory show also featured \u201cwindorflex<\/strong>\u201d, the new automatic machining cell for producing complete windows, designed to optimize production rhythms by maintaining high flexibility and excellent finishing.
