SYSTEM FORINGOT SERIALIZATION AND STAMPING
T-FINISHING™
ONE MODULE INCLUDES EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR THE FINISHING OF PRECIOUS METAL INGOTS
To say that T-Finishing™ is just a machine would be an understatement, since it combines several tools necessary for the final processing steps of precious metal ingots in one working station. The standard machine configuration includes a hydraulic press for the logo stamping and a micro-dot marking machine for the serialization of numerical data. However, thanks to its circular shape, the machine can be equipped with many integration tools, such as the laser marking machine or an optical visor (T-Photo Viewer) for quality control.
With the T-Finishing™ process, it is possible to stamp the serial number and mark the company's logo on gold and silver ingots of any size, including 400-ounce Good Delivery gold ingots and 1,000-ounce Good Delivery silver ingots.
This system can significantly increase production levels, optimize time dedicated to each process and reach full autonomy, if it is fitted with a robot which can pick and place ingots on the inlet and outlet conveyor belts.

THE PAST
CRITICAL ISSUES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
- Logo application and serialization of numerical data are two different steps, therefore processing takes more time
- Several machines, which are usually bulky, are needed
- Finishing of large volumes requires a long time
- Staff is exposed to risks
- Machines require the constant presence of one or more operators
THE INNOVATION
THE ADVANTAGES OF AN AUTOMATED SOLUTION
- Less time must be dedicated to logo application and serialization which are now carried out in a single machine
- Press and marking machine in one module
- Automatic finishing of large volumes in reduced times
- Increasing safety for staff
- The whole process can be automated, if it is fitted with a robot and other working stations (laser marking machine, optical visor for quality control, brushing machine) thanks to its circular shape; the whole production can be traced with integrated software devices (JARVIS).

HOW DOES
THE T-FINISHING™ AUTOMATED SYSTEM WORK?
T-Finishing™ is an automated system which can encompass several working stations, such as: a press for ingot stamping, T-Numbering™ for ingot serialization, a vision system for quality control and/or digital image acquisition of products and the following recording in the company's archives.
Ingots can be placed manually one by one on the T-Finishing™ rotating table, or they can be placed on the inlet conveyor belt, so as to automate the production cycle.
The first stop for ingots is the press. The rotating table brings the ingot under the stamp, placing it in the dedicated working area. The press detects the presence of the ingot and carries out the stamping. Once it has finished, the table activates again and brings the next ingot under the stamp, as well as the stamped ingot to the following working station, the T-Numbering™ machine.
In the second working station, the ingot is detected and serialized (or marked), according to the customer's requests. The T-Numbering™ tool offers very accurate and high-quality performances and can easily mark codes, numbers, letters, images, etc. on several types of objects and surfaces made of metal and plastic.
At the end of the process, the ingot is transferred to the outlet, where it is collected either manually or by the conveyor belt.
TAILORED AUTOMATION
AUTOMATION FOR AN UNPARALLED CUSTOMIZATION OF INGOTS
Each Tera Automation machine can be conceived as part of a modular line which can be combined according to the company's needs and facility space. Each machine can be fitted to existing machines and a full line can be developed over time.
T-Finishing™ is a comprehensive finishing system for precious metal ingots, which, despite its already high automation level, can be combined to other machines, according to each operator's specific needs.
