Project description
For the customer's then newly installed automated circulation line in Ireland, we not only supplied the robot-compatible standard shuttering, but also developed a customized forming solution for window and door openings. It combines automated logistics and manual work, which gives the customer flexibility in sizes.
One main objective was to reduce styrofoam use for filling gaps in general and instead focus on reusable components. The solution we provided is based on our SAS Standard Automatic Shuttering and consists of SAS siderails in standard lengths of 450 mm and 1,350 mm. The siderails have integrated, switchable magnets, as well as mounting knobs that can be adapted for common shuttering robots. The siderails can be positioned by robot or by hand and are supplemented by plywood pieces, that are attached to the siderails with small, easy-to-mount adapter plates. These plywood filler pieces can be reused for other intermediate spaces of identical size. As a result, the customers can dispense with EPS and work with reusable components instead. Placing the siderails by means of robot ensures correct positioning, and the plywood pieces can be added quickly and easily – an uncomplicated solution for doors and windows that can be adapted for other sizes and configurations. The solution combines automated shuttering logistics and manual labour, which provides the customer with flexibility regarding sizes, while at the same time permitting a general reduction in the use of EPS for filling shuttering gaps.
