Our i-DCA System

Thanks to the flat design of the application tools, the storage unit can be integrated into a simple transfer station and does not require a rotary table. This creates a particularly space-saving solution for automated systems.

All system functions are combined in a single robotic tool. This makes automation easier, reduces integration effort, and eliminates potential sources of error in the line.

Connection is via cost-effective standard hose packages for 24 V, compressed air, and Profinet/Ethernet-IP. Additional external control components or cabinets are not required.

Dedicated servo drives keep the material under tension and position the die-cuts precisely. The straightforward web path and non-contact application process enable the processing of all common die-cut formats — including double-sided adhesive materials and particularly stiff die-cuts.

Input pressure and secondary pressure zones are continuously monitored. During application, the system checks contact force and position. The suction pressure measurement detects lost die-cuts and confirms a successful process based on the target blow-off pressure.

Process steps where several operators previously pressed rubber plugs into openings by thumb pressure can be automated. This significantly reduces work steps with particularly high physical strain.

The tool can be fully tested, serviced, and shipped away from the robot when required. This simplifies service work and eliminates the need for interventions on the system.
