Brazilian manufacturer Luzarte chooses Sacmi glazing line

Luzarte, a high-quality sanitaryware manufacturer that has been operating in Brazil since 1961, has chosen Sacmi to complete a new plant upgrade project in its facilities in Caruaru in the state of Pernambuco. The new plant, which was delivered at the end of October and put into production in just one month, is made up of an automatic glazing line with a 4-position carousel and an 8-axis GA 2000 robot. Complete with off-line programming and a mass control system for the monitoring and optimization of the quantity of glaze applied, the GA 2000 glazing robot stands out for its reliability and precision, ensuring top quality glazed surfaces and minimum glaze wastage. Sacmi has also supplied the 4-movement loading/unloading system which is driven by electric motors equipped with inverters and position encoders. This enables the pieces to be picked up and deposited on conveyor belts before and after glazing, thus facilitating the quality control procedures performed by operators.
