Germany-based VETRON|TYPICAL marked a solid presence in recently concluded Texprocess in Frankfurt, Germany. The sewing tech pioneer displayed a wide array of sewing and welding solutions in almost 800 square meter area which was probably one of the largest booths in Texprocess. Thanks to the steady extension of the product portfolio and the promising start of the new robotic segment, the company presented itself once again as a strong and reliable partner for the future.
Keeping pace with Industry 4.0 trend, VETRON did let its visitors experience the world of German engineering art with first-ever 3D sewing and welding systems called VETRON VIPER 3D Robotic System.
The newly developed VIPER Robotic System bagged the Texprocess Innovation Award. The VIPER is an ultra-light sewing system which weighs approximately 7 kg and works in cooperation with a 6 axis robot as ultra-flexible and compact robotic cell for various 3D applications.
The robot, used by VETRON, weighs 55 kg and works as an overhead in the sewing cell. The light weight and unrestricted robotic path creates a highly flexible, highly compact robot cell for various sewing and welding processes in textile and automotive applications. The robot cell dimensions are similar to a CNC unit and can be transported and assembled easily.
Besides, VETRON | TYPICAL showcased the whole new robotic range as well as a unique material gripper. The VETRON VARIOGRIP can automatically differentiate between flexible materials such as leather or fabric, and switches between a vacuum or needle system to grab the material. The hub-arms of the VARIOGRIP identify different forms, which makes it a powerful addition for the transport between single processes within a production line.
Another highlight from the company was the market launch of the VETRON 5656 AutoSeam which was long awaited. “For the first time, non-congruent contours can be merged automatically using AutoSeam and no human is involved throughout the sewing process,” said VETRON representative. The Automation segment in AutoSeam is complemented by two turning head systems with automatic shuttle tables for an overlapping operation. The VETRON 5412 turning head system also led to large visitor interest as a part of the Smart Textiles Micro Factory of the Institut für Textiltechnik of RWTH Aachen University, ITA.
