Spanish robotics business DESMASA creates solutions to enhance your product or your productive system, filling the gaps left by conventional commercial systems.  The company primarily distributes solutions in North America and Europe.

From feeding in the raw material mixing zone through the final inspection and palletizing of the tire, they develop equipment to cover every step of the manufacturing process.

The company can fully automate the procedures involved in making tires thanks to a number of patents held in the tire industry.

The robot marking system is a tool created to label tires of different shapes and sizes. The machine can be modified to meet any client’s requirements, so the mark can be in any color. It is simple to configure and designed to be adaptable and make tire marking simpler.

It works great as an outside station on a line for testing finished products, so it can be added to any production line.

It’s a small station that works well for any size business and it is capable of being fully integrated with other machinery, hence decreasing cycle time.

Features:

• Multiple colors
• Multiple shapes
• Mark one or both sides of the tire
• Adjustable radial force
• Totally adaptable to the shape of the tire
• Quickly exchangeable cassette
• Simple and easy to maintain
• 3D accuracy marking
• Compact footprint

The robot solution processes finished tires using an automatic marking system based on an anthropomorphic robot and a double clamp system with a tape marker.

Thanks to the combination of a measured tire by a laser sensor and the 3D position marking database, the robot is able to achieve high accuracy performance.
