TF Automation automate manual process for Textile client
TF Automation has recently delivered a new machine to long-standing customer , Genesis Patterns , which has automated a timeconsuming and problematic manual process .
Over the last thirty years Genesis Patterns has grown into one of the leading suppliers of sampling products to the flooring industry . Originally supplying swatches and pattern books , the company has invested in machinery and staff to expand into the shade card sector .
TF Automation has worked with Genesis Patterns for several years designing and building a number of specialist machines to support their expansion and development plans . Genesis had a recent requirement to automate a manual process of taking precut carpet swatch samples from a strip and adhering them to “ dec ” boards , to create carpet sample books .
TF Automation project engineers worked with the team at Genesis to build a machine that would de-laminate and remove the pre-cut samples from the strip and place in the exact position required on the larger board . This activity is currently carried out by hand and is open to large fluctuations in output and accuracy .
The new machine removes the individual samples from the strip and places accurately in position on the boards , ensuring precision placement and standardisation every time .
The new machine has enabled Genesis to improve productivity of this activity and enable more cards to be completed in a shorter time frame , whilst also ensuring consistency and uniformity .
