Icarus

ICARUS is a loading/unloading flying robot designed to handle stone slabs (marble, granite, or stone material). It can realize the “book match” process, reassembling them as they where before loading, without using rotating roller conveyor.
By using this robot on resin lines it is possible the direct loading of the slabs onto the trays. This option is extremely important in case of fragile or fractured material.
ICARUS can be supplied with GRAB system which allows, in cooperation with suction cups, safe loading of travertine slabs and fragile materials.
ICARUS model has been designed by Prometec to resolve such situations where is required the absence of rails on the ground.

ICARUS for loading operation, (such as for all automatic Prometec loading machines), is equipped with a detaching device avoiding to load two or more “stuck” slabs. More over this machine uses, during the loading operation, a weighing system which reduces the risk for loading more than one slab at a time. All the movements of ICARUS are controlled by means of inverter and by encoder, therefore all movements are extremely smooth and exact.
ICARUS is a machine easy to set up for any kind of requirements by means of a wide colors touch screen.

VERSIONS

• ICARUS 1200:
  standard model capable to serve most of processing line with needed speed and safety
• ICARUS 54:
  version with increased number of suction cups designed for fragile and delicate materials typical in resin lines
• ICARUS 80:
  version with maximum number of suction cups and twin vacuum pump for special materials and applications

Prometec is anyway able to design and develop customized version accordingly with client requirements.
