Development of a concrete pipe handling system
FY 2024-25 · 2024-06-03
Summary
The aim of the project is to develop a prototype gripper capable of mechanically handling pipes with diameters ranging from 600 to 2100 mm, and to integrate it into a system comprising three demolding tables tested in a previous project. This is the second phase of a total three-phase project to mechanize all demolding activities. This project comes at a time when the firm has been looking at the demolding systems available on the market for a very long time. Unfortunately, there is no system on the market that is adapted to the geometry of the firm’s products.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à développer un prototype de pince qui aura la capacité de manipuler mécaniquement les tuyaux de dimension variant de 600 à 2100mm de diamètre pour l’intégrer dans un système qui comprends trois tables de démoulage testé dans un projet antérieur. Il s’agit de la deuxième phase d’un total de trois phases qui permettront de mécaniser l’ensemble des activités de démoulage. Ce projet s’inscrit dans un contexte où l’entreprise a depuis très longtemps regardé les systèmes de démoulage qui existent sur le marché. Malheureusement, il n’existe pas de système sur le marché qui est adapté à la géométrie des produits de l'entreprise.
