CORTI · CO-OPERATIVE ROBOT APPLICATION IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY FOR FANCY YARN MACHINE

Textile industry is one of the largest industries in the world. To sustain its commercial success it becomes imperative to produce goods of high quality at reasonable prices to achieve customer satisfaction, which asks for continuous modernization of the textile machines.Each step towards innovation means streamlining activities with a versatile approach to minimize the manpower in the intensive and repetitive jobs. It is expected to have an incremental level of automatization in the textile industries implemented with human-robot collaborative models, where humans are doing “customization” tasks.CORTI project idea was born with the aim to facilitate the introduction of collaborative robot in the spinning area of the textile industry with a special outlook, at this stage, to the fancy yarn machines designed, produced and selled by Gualchieri&Gualchieri.
