Some Projects in Optimization, Automation and Robotics

Our track record demonstrates our capability to provide you with proven, effective solutions. Find out more about our projects below. 

Mining and Metallurgy

Robotized Cleaning of Anode Butts

Norda Stelo was given the task of developing and designing an automated system for cleaning anode butts in an aluminum smelter. To achieve this, a cell equipped with two robots positioned on either side of the anode to be cleaned was created. The robots are equipped with an arm fitted with a chain flail that can loosen the deposits by mechanical action. The cell developed is suitable for restricted workspaces and allows movement and cleaning cycles adapted to the configuration of the deposits on the anode, using specific routes.
Industrial and Manufacturing

Strander Feed Assist

Our team assisted Weyerhaeuser iLevel with the mechanical and structural design for new infeed equipment to provide an automatic veneer feeding system in tandem with ergonomically designed manual feeding stations to produce Parallam™, the world’s only commercially manufactured and marketed parallel strand lumber product.
