By installing servo drives with integrated functional safety, HMIs and controllers from KEB Automation on its new production line, Concrete Canvas Ltd has reduced wiring installation costs. As a result, the British company now has greater flexibility in terms of future expansion plans for machines and additional lines.
Based in Pontyclun, Wales, Concrete Canvas Ltd is the sole manufacturer of the product “Concrete Canvas”. This new material technology is a flexible concrete impregnated fabric that hardens on hydration to form a thin, durable, waterproof concrete layer. Essentially, the product is ‘concrete on a roll’. Due to increased demand for its products, the company purchased a new facility. The continuous production line for the new prototype rolled product comprises a variety of machines, equipment and automated systems.
