Rotorshaft laser welding cell

Customized solutions according to the part to be conveyed, its size and required orientation.

• Palletized conveyors
• Roller chain conveyors
• Belt conveyors

Solutions adapted to customer's process / lay-out requirements:

• Separated input and output conveyors
• Conveyor loops including curves
• Palletized conveyors with lifts at each end and two height lanes

We have the capacity to integrate standard third-party equipment as well as conveyors of our own design. Our product development includes pneumatically actuated stoppers of proprietary design.

• When talking about automatic loading / unloading of our machines, integration of six axes and cartesian robots becomes a guarantee for high efficiency solutions.
• We have wide experience in integrating robots of various brands, not only for handling purposes but also as a key tool in some of our assembly standarized solutions.
• Design and integration of in-house designed grippers (EOAT), adapted to the needs of each application.
• Simulation services for the entire robot cycle to assure the process in cycle time conditions and to avoid possible collisions or interferences.

• Within the operations related to traceability, and especially after marking the parts on the machine, it is necessary to check the correct marking or to incorporate the unique part ID to associate the process data to the part.
• Integration of cameras or sensors for 2DM code / QR / Barcode reading.
• Possibility of marking degree evaluation according to the  ISO/IEC TR 29158 (AIM DPM-1-2006) standard, by means of special verification units.

Gaindu has put considerable effort into the standardization of control systems, for the automatic collection and analysis of relevant data from production systems, classified into the following areas:

• Piloting, making it possible to configure/detect production sequences and formulas for the various types of parts.
• Status, providing information on machine availability and utilization, allowing to analyze productivity, detecting bottlenecks and improvement actions.
• Process, associating to the part identifier the data of the different processes performed on it. The identification of the main parts and their components is done by means of identification techniques such as reading the 2DM code marked on them or reading the RFID cards located on them or on their transport elements.
• Automation, recording the detections, movements and actuations performed by the machines, which allows to detect points of improvement in performance and to perform preventive maintenance of its components.

In order to respond to the traceability needs of our customers, at Gaindu we have developed our own software called Gaindu Tracker, with which we provide our installations with the functionality to record process data associated with unique part IDs.

We integrate industrial PCs from leading manufacturers as hardware support for our customized software development.

Complete collecting of data related to the process:

• Leak test values
• Insertion forces and positions
• Torque and anglel values
• Etc.

We study each project in detail in order to adapt to the existing IT systems in our customers' plants, integrating our machines in their information networks.

• Possibility of complementing the assemblies by in-process measurements, to guarantee variable dimensions depending on the actual part.
• Measuring systems through integration of third-party equipment or in-house systems using market-standard measuring probes
• We use the measurement units to, for example, generate reference pressing dimensions based on the values obtained, in order to guarantee 100% of the parts.
• When integrating a gauging system, we always include the means for system calibration, either by manual procedures or integrated into the automated system.

• Monitoring of the assembly processes for component pressing, controlling the parameters during the whole cycle. 
• At Gaindu we have installed more than 300 electric presses with which we have assembled all types of parts and units. Assembly processing of engines, suspensions, gearboxes, etc...
• We are the official distributor of JANOME electric presses in Spain, having collaborated with them directly in the validation and expansion of assembly processes using electric presses.
• Following our vocation of customer-oriented solutions, we adapt to the approved brands and preferences of our customers when designing our installations. This has led us to work with the leading global manufacturers of electrical presses and gives us the advantage of being able to offer our solutions integrating reliably any of these brands.

• Laser welding technology has become a priority in industrial sectors where the aim is to obtain assemblies with very tight tolerances.
• We have been collaborating for years side by side with the main laser equipment manufacturers, thus providing our machines with the latest and most advanced solutions available in the market.
• There are several laser welding alternatives using different technologies: Fiber, CO2, disc, diode…
• In Gaindu the safety of our facilities is an unquestionable feature, so all our laser welding machines have the appropriate protections to ensure the safety of our customers.

• The use of ultrasound for welding inspection is a revolutionary technology in the industry and an important part of quality assurance in the manufacture of components.
• Allows inspection of 100% of the parts with non-destructive technologies.
• With an ultrasonic sensor and the part immersed in water, the complete welding is sampled to verify that is free of internal pores not visible to the human eye that could affect to the durability of the subassembly.
• With these means, the machine can be configured to reject parts from a certain pore size or quantity.
• To offer this type of solution, we have specialist partners that are dedicated to non-destructive testing solutions.
