Reading and evaluating the labels on tire sidewalls automatically is a challenge. Especially if the tire is not rotating as usual but is transported on a conveyor belt. Different tire sizes and double-sided scanning impose high demands on software and hardware.
IDC develops and builds a prototype for a large logistics center in Switzerland. We have proven the feasibility of this project with a cooperation partner in Switzerland specialized in 3D data acquisition and analysis.

IDC develops and builds its own internal profile grinding machine, which is unique in the world. Internal helical gears can be produced with complicated corrections and highest accuracy. The heart of the machine is the directly driven hollow shaft with a continuous inner diameter of 400mm.

IDC implements a fully automated turnkey machinery for cast part machining in the automotive supplier industry. The concept is based on a double-portal automation system which moves the workpieces to the machining tools on two stations. The milling movement is carried out by the portal, the drilling movement by the tool heads.

IDC implements a turnkey solution for the automatic testing (optical and tactile) of casted parts as well as marking defective parts. In addition to the tactile test, a visual system for optical quality control is used. The system inspects and measures up to two million parts per year.

In the cross to cross stacking of car tires, the space conditions for a gripper system are always very limited. IDC develops a special solution with a super flat gripper for robot systems. The gripper is fixed to the grey flange on a robot. Small retractable clamping jaws grip the tire from the inside outwards.

IDC develops together with the customer an automation system for highly dynamic processes. Low manufacturing costs for large quantities are key criteria for the conceptual design. With innovative approaches, a system with very few components has been developed.

Portal system for measuring and positioning of laser lenses. The pick & place head is equipped with a quick-release gripping system with high repetitive accuracy. IDC assumes the conceptual design together with the customer, designs and builds the prototypes.
