In modern industry, automation has become an essential factor in improving productivity, ensuring quality, and reducing operating times. Within this environment, the efficient handling of materials and test samples is a critical stage in manufacturing, inspection, and laboratory testing processes. LABORTECH X-SPRINTER Positioning Manipulators provide an innovative solution that automates the transfer of components between workstations with exceptional precision, speed, and reliability.

 

Intelligent Automation for Testing Processes

X-SPRINTER systems have been developed to automate the transfer of materials and test specimens between different stages of production and inspection processes. Thanks to their modular design and high-precision roller conveyor technology, these positioning manipulators enable smooth, controlled movement while minimizing manual intervention and reducing the risk of handling errors or material damage.

This automation not only increases process speed but also improves test repeatability, optimizes workflow, and helps maintain consistent quality standards.

 

Robust Design and User-Friendly Operation

X-SPRINTER positioning manipulators combine a rugged mechanical structure with an intuitive operator interface. Their design simplifies system setup and operation, allowing personnel to make adjustments quickly and efficiently without extensive training.

Built to withstand continuous operation in demanding industrial environments, these systems provide long service life while minimizing maintenance requirements.

 

Precision Movement with Roller Conveyor Technology

The operating principle of X-SPRINTER is based on a roller conveyor system that ensures smooth and stable movement of components between different workstations.

This technology offers several key advantages:

• Fast and continuous transport of materials and test samples.
• Precise positioning of components.
• Reduced risk of damage during handling.
• Improved efficiency in automated production and testing lines.
• Easy integration with laboratory and manufacturing equipment.

 

Automated Hardness Testing Stations

One of the most important applications of X-SPRINTER positioning manipulators is their integration into automated hardness testing stations for CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) cylinders and other industrial components.

These automated systems perform Brinell (HB) and Vickers (HV) hardness measurements with 100% production inspection, complying with the requirements of EN ISO 6506-1.

Typical applications include:

• CNG cylinders after heat treatment.
• Seamless pipes.
• Round forgings.
• Large metal components.
• Specialized parts for heavy industry.

 

Key Features

X-SPRINTER systems can incorporate a wide range of automated functions to optimize inspection processes, including:

• Heavy-duty frame construction with a vertical pressure actuator and linear guide.
• Horizontal unit with feedback support.
• Integrated milling and indentation unit.
• Automatic evaluation using CCD camera technology.
• Conveyor system for feeding, rotating, and automatically sorting parts.
• Automatic classification of accepted (IO) and rejected (NIO+, NIO-) components.
• Integration with IMAJE marking and identification systems.
• Cycle time of approximately 50 seconds per operation, with the capability to perform up to 12 measurements at different positions.
• SIEMENS Simatic S7-1500 control system with LCD display and integrated FESTTest software.
• Full operation through intuitive touchscreen interfaces.

 

Adaptable to Industry Requirements

X-SPRINTER positioning manipulators feature a flexible architecture that can be adapted to accommodate components of different sizes, geometries, and weights.

They can also be equipped with a wide range of optional accessories, including:

• Automated storage systems.
• Customized conveyor systems.
• Optical inspection devices.
• MARKRATOR marking and identification equipment.
