TD-MATIC

TD-MATIC is a laboratory machine, able to automatically weigh little quantities of powders thanks to a micro-dosing screw inside the silo. It can be configured with a multi-level rack with 82 or 112 mini-silos, with a capacity of 2,7 l each, and 36 beakers (cap. 1600 cc) where to put the weighed recipe. The three axes robotic arm is specifically studied for mini-silos handling, to move them from the parking to the weighing station (resolution of the scale 0.001 g) and also for the beakers handling. TD-MATIC is equipped with an efficient suction system which allows to keep the weighing area clean and to avoid internal contaminations. TD-MATIC communicates with a Lawer management software, every mini-silo is identified by a barcode and a RFID tag, to avoid human errors and to permit the traceability of the recipe. It generates sophisticated reports and permits integration with external systems (MES) thus falling into the Industry 4.0 concept.
