Developing technologies that imitate human hands in perfect standards to promise abrasion effect in denim clothes, VAV Technology launched 2 new unique robots.
Becoming a famous technology supplier for denim industry in a short period, VAV Technology launched two brand new products to the market: ERASER MD48 SCRAPING Robot that imitates human hand in abrasion and DA VINCI OB48 SPRAYING Robot for potassium permanganate (PP) application.
As known already, intense demand for abrasion effect denim clothes persists in fashion and cloth area. Until a denim material reaches to its usage stage, it’s becoming exposed to many different processes like sandblasting, different washing systems etc. which provide denim a more added value by the effects given. In the past, sandblasting operations have been performed by the denim workers but had cancerogenic and negative effects on human health. Nowadays, these processes are being able to be performed by VAV laser machines with less labor cost, less energy consumption, less chemicals and zero health problems and environmental impact. Laser system is able to give natural effects to denim just like it’s been made by human hand.
With ERASER MD48 SCRAPING ROBOT, VAV Technology has been able to take the scraping tool from human hand and transplant it to robotic arms. By this way, the standardization in scraping process is achieved as well as production capacity have been increased (App. 4000 trousers a day). It imitates human hand by cloning the best worker by Clone Mac 10AX AN recording method with unskilled workers only being needed for starting up the system. Clone Mac Eraser copying system is the most important factor for the success of this project.
DA VINCI OB48 SPRAYING ROBOT brings solution to dangerous chemical processes for lighting denim wit potassium permanganate. With this robotic system, the robotic arms copy the human movement and spray the water based chemicals on denim in a standardized amount each time. By this way, none of the workers are exposed to dangerous effects of the chemical. High productivity with very fast activity is obtained. (App.6000 pants a day) In the center of the system, there is (recording module) Clone Mac 10AX AN. Eraser MD48 gives the advantage of high quality, zero mistake, non-stop production with 8 Mannequins Carousel System. 4 Robotic arms feature stand for spraying. Operators are only dressing up the mannequins, while 1 or 2 operators per shift results in 4.500/5.000 trousers per day.
As the PP application is a very hazardous process on human health and unfortunately is still getting used in denim industry, VAV Technology is developed those innovative solutions to prevent insecure and dangerous effects of scraping and PP processes. In addition to added-value for denim goods, those robot workers support manufacturers by cutting labor costs (including fees and catering) as well as boosting quality standards.
Both Eraser MD48 and Da Vinci OB48 robots have been created with VAV’s 8 years long R&D studies and long experience in the industry The company made the global launch of them in ITMA Milan last year at its 250 meter square booth and grabbed great interest.
