Case study
Large-size PVC tent production
THE PROJECT
The no. 1 manufacturer of PVC-coated tents in Abu Dhabi reached out to us with the request to develop a continuous welding station to produce wall panels for their extra-large tents. The goal was to speed up their semi-automatic production cycles while at the same time create very strong but aesthetically pleasing seams.
THE PROCESS
We developed a multiple-roll sealer that feeds the fabric from 2 motorized unwinding stations with automatic edge correction and digital fabric tension control to manage jumbo rolls. A high-power welding head installed in a central position on the bridge joins panels together while 2 lateral heads apply a single- or double-flag keder to either side of the fabric or fold the fabric into a pocket while automatically inserting a rope.
We installed a camera near every welding head to allow the (single) operator to continuously monitor the production process and the quality of the seams from a single control station.
Per ottenere una finitura impeccabile ma anche alta resistenza, abbiamo installato traini motorizzati prima e dopo il ponte di saldatura, così da mantenere il tessuto sempre alla giusta tensione.
Very flat, extremely strong seams. Drastically increased production output.
