Complete extraction system ensures a safe working environment - Case Study
RuossTech AG faced the challenge of improving the efficiency and safety of the welding process. Handheld laser welding machines offered precision but also presented high safety risks. Thus, the team decided to develop a special welding container that provides complete protection from laser radiation, creating a safe work environment.
The container proved not only to be safer but also more efficient. Isolating the welding process improved workspace cleanliness and product quality. With increasing demand for welding services, RuossTech collaborated with Absaugtechnik Wild AG to install an advanced ventilation system that ensured optimal container performance.
This success led to new ideas: modular containers for further industrial applications. RuossTech’s innovations elevated their production processes and the entire industry.
The complete extraction system provides a safe work environment.
RuossTech AG contacted the Swiss distributor for Plymovent, Absaugtechnik Wild AG, to inquire about installing an extraction system in the container.
A standard garage container was procured, equipped with a Plymovent extraction device featuring Push-Pull, an extraction arm, and an AeroGuard air quality monitor. The complete safety control (SPS) was independently developed and implemented by RuossTech AG’s control engineering team. It includes control of the laser welding system (safety switch for
access to the work area) and automatic or manual control of the extraction system. This control system also monitors air quality and activates the Push-Pull system when necessary.
Additional safety components integrated into the system include a CO alarm and a TeleAlarm for lone work.
RuossTech AG has been active in sheet metal processing, control engineering, and system construction for over 100 years, employing around 40 people at their site in Siebnen (SZ).
With a wide range of capabilities, from simple sheet metal parts to complex assemblies, including mechatronics and electrical control engineering, the company offers a broad portfolio.
Continuous modernization of processes and equipment, along with employee training, ensures a high-quality standard for the products manufactured.
