DRM to Showcase KUKA Robotic Cell at the 2025 Global Polymer Summit
DRM, LLC, a prominent player in the field of industrial automation, is set to unveil a live KUKA robotic cell at the upcoming 2025 Global Polymer Summit (GPS), scheduled from September 8–11 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio. As a KUKA Platinum Partner, DRM is excited to demonstrate how their innovative automation solutions can tackle the unique challenges faced in the rubber manufacturing sector.
The Importance of Automation in Rubber Manufacturing
Rubber manufacturing environments are notoriously demanding. Factors like heat, tackiness, and dust can complicate the functioning of automation equipment, often pushing them to their technical limits. Barry Brian, a Partner at DRM, emphasizes the significance of robust solutions in this challenging context. "As a Platinum KUKA partner, we’re excited to showcase a live KUKA robotic cell in action," he states. "This demonstration will illustrate how DRM and KUKA collaboratively solve real-world manufacturing problems."
Live Demonstrations and Expert Insights
Attendees of the GPS will benefit from the opportunity to engage directly with the DRM team at booth #1626. In addition to witnessing the KUKA robotic cell in operation, visitors will gain valuable insights into various aspects of robotic palletizing and rubber manufacturing automation.
Topics of discussion will include:
- Robotic Palletizing: Techniques specific to handling heavy, tacky, and irregular loads in rubber manufacturing.
- Safety and Motion Control: Architectures designed to ensure high uptime in production environments while maintaining safety standards.
- Calender Line Automation: Improvements that enhance thickness stability, reduce scrap, and boost repeatability.
- Vision and Sensing Systems: Technologies for optimizing orientation, alignment, and slip detection.
