Automated marking system for concrete pipes with igus room gantry

Automated Marking System for Concrete Pipes: Precision, Efficiency, and Traceability

Marking concrete pipes with varying diameters requires accuracy and consistency for effective product identification. An automated marking system has been developed to carry out precise labeling of concrete pipes ranging from 400 mm to 1600 mm in diameter. Utilizing an igus spatial gantry system for X and Z-axis movements, the solution ensures stable positioning of the marking head, enabling seamless labeling with critical details, such as manufacturing dates, factory logos, and testing results.

What is the Application?

The system automates marking at the end of the production line, targeting stationary pipes with a marking length of 1000 mm. With igus actuators, motors, and guides, it ensures consistent labeling for traceability and quality control.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• Time and Cost Savings: Automation reduces manual labeling efforts.

• Enhanced Precision: Stable positioning creates accurate, high-quality markings.

• Traceability: Facilitates defect identification and product tracking.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

The igus spatial gantry system provides robust performance:

• Adaptability: Handles variable pipe diameters with seamless movement.

• Stability: Dual guides support heavy loads and large offsets.

• Efficiency: Motors ensure smooth, reliable movement minimizing disruptions.

Optimizing Pipe Production with Automated Marking

The automated marking system revolutionizes concrete pipe labeling by delivering precision and traceability while reducing manual intervention. This cost-effective solution enhances production throughput, ensures consistency, and supports quality management—ideal for modern industrial workflows.
