BoDo - The SAHM BobbinDoffer

The mobile, fully automatic doffing and transport system BoDo is set to revolutionize bobbin and tube handling within your workflow. The handling robot picks up bobbins, transports them and stores them at the locations you define. At the same time, it loads your winders with empty tubes, ensuring a continuous, efficient workflow.

BoDo - Your reliable new service provider.

Bobbin handling. Fully automatic.

Overview of a complete machine concept consisting of tube depot, SAHM winding machine, SAHM BoDo and quality station.

OPTIONAL
RFID tags are matched to the winding head.
Delivery of the full bobbin to a creel trolley by the BoDo handling robot.
Bobbin delivery
Transport and delivery of full bobbins to a suitable receiving system (e.g. creel trolley).
Suggestion of a display of a quality station.
OPTIONAL
Automatic or manual checking of bobbin quality at a quality station. With the RFID option, the data of the current bobbin is shown on a monitor and can be saved there.
BoDo charging station
Charging station
Automatic navigation to the waiting position or - when the battery is low - to the charging station.
Pioneering

Precise, optical position sensing

BoDo's laser scanner registers routes and positions quickly and precisely.

Flexible

Freely definable range of motion

Flexible

Freely definable range of motion

Operating routes and the pick-up and storage points for bobbins and tubes can be freely programmed - making BoDo compatible with any production environment.

Networked

Your Industry 4.0 solution

Networked with SAHM winders, the BobbinDoffer supports logistically optimized workflows, enhanced with our optional RFID system.

Safe

Detects persons and objects

Safe

Detects persons and objects

BoDo guarantees safe operation alongside personnel, vehicles and machines. Its safety laser scanner monitors the environment. As soon as it detects an obstacle, the robot reduces its speed. If the object is within its defined protected area, BoDo stopps immediately, avoiding a collision.

3 SAHM BoDo handling robots work as a team
Scalable

Solutions for any production capacity

BoDo is a flexible, scalable system which offers a suitable solution for every production operation and for any output. Several handling robots can be interconnected to work as a team. The mobility of the system also enhances its scalability: Each robot's operating range can be freely defined and extended.

This makes BoDo a future-oriented solution!
