The challenge
- The variety of prosthetic dental implants from Dentsply Sirona, one of the world’s leading dental technology suppliers, must meet the highest standards of quality and flexibility. Since each dental implant is unique, a product changeover from one variant to another must be easy, fast, and highly reliable.
- During the feeding and precision assembly process, it is imperative to guarantee and maintain a flawless finishing of the delicate parts, in order to exclude any risk for injuries.
The solution
- Dentsply Sirona’s subsidiary Advanced Technologies created a flexible assembly machine to produce the different prosthetic dental implants.
- The installation consists of:
- two Asycube 80 with structured platforms to correctly orient the components;
- an Asycube 50 to feed small screws;
- and an Asyril SmartSight intelligent vision system, featuring an intuitive HMI, easy communication with the PLC and seamless recipe management.
Advantages
- Gentle feeding of parts
- Quick and easy product changeover
- Optimized integration and programming time thanks to intelligent vision system
- Increased productivity
"A traditional bowl feeding system was too complicated due to the diversity and complexity of our parts. Asyril’s solution is extremely flexible and was therefore a natural choice.`
