Laura is an universal folding machine for workwear. It is especially suitable to fold and stack different types of garments: lab coats, uniforms, trousers, overalls, bib, overalls, T-shirts etc. 
Laura is a compact machine that is built in a very space-saving way. The machine chooses automatically the correct program for folding according the length of the piece. 
Every piece is folded according to its size. Laura is controlled by a PLC with up to 1000 different folding programs that can be adapted to the customer‘s needs. Sleeves are folded into the garment by brushes so wrinkles can be avoided.
Laura is equipped with a sleeve folding unit. The pieces are fed with the collar upwards. After feeding, the long sleeves are folded in by brushes so wrinkles can be avoided. Further it is transported to the part of the machine, where the lateral folds and the cross folds are done. Lateral folds are realized with the aid of adjustable skis and sliders. The adjustable width of these skis is standard from 165 to 370 mm. The resulting minimum piece width before folding is 450 mm and the maximum is 1100 mm (when doing a French fold). The maximum length of the piece is 1800 mm.
The two cross folds are done by reversing conveyors. With two cross folds we can make a 1/2
fold, a 1/4 fold, a 1/3 fold (French fold) or we can make a fixed measure fold.
The control of the machine is done by a programmable microprocessor (PLC). The control has also an Ethernet connection that can be used for communication. There are 1000 different folding programs available that can be adjusted by the costumer. The manipulation is done on a touch screen interface. It is possible to connect the control to a production data acquisition system. As an option, the company BIKO offers a remote maintenance via internet.
The folding machine Laura stacks pieces with a roll-off stacker, which guarantees an excellent pile quality. As an option we can also deliver the piles to a conveyor on the side of the machine. This conveyor is used for the transport of the piles.
The theoretical maximal production of the Laura is 900 pieces / hour.

Daniela is a rail transport system for the transport of the linen inside of a laundry. It's characteristical usage is the transport of large pieces like sheets or blankets from the washing machine to the feeding machine. With Daniela, the following tasks can be done:
●    Hanging up of the pieces in one or two clamps
●    Manual or automatic delivery to a feeding machine
●    Sorting of pieces
●    Storing of pieces

For hanging up of the linen in one or two clamps, two modes of operation are possible:
1. A piece is hanged up with one edge (one clamp):
Usually, above a laundry container an edge of a piece is inserted into a clamp of the transport system. The system pulls the piece automatically out of the container and stores it in the storage. Should a piece be inserted incorrectly or can it not be pulled out of the heap of linen, it is possible to eject it out of the clamp.
2. A piece is hanged up with two edges (two clamps):
Above a laundry container an edge of a piece is inserted into a clamp of the transport system. The system pulls the piece automatically out of the container and the clamp stops in an optimal position to take the second edge and put it into another clamp of the transport system. Then, the piece is transported to the storage. Is it the clamps' turn, they are transported to the feeder.

These operating modes have the following advantages:
●    The clean linen is transported from the washing to the ironing line in a height of approximately 5 meters, so no laundry containers are used and there is more empty space available.

Therese

Therese is a feeder for large pieces (up to 3000 mm long and 3200 mm large) that can achieve highest quality standards. It is available as a machine with one or two lanes.

The sheets are fed directly via rail transport system Daniela or decentralized with two clamps per sheet. The number of loading stations is adapted to the necessary achievement. Photocells supervise the process of spreading. Thus the spreading can be controlled exactly and adapted to each piece. The spread piece is presented in front of an illuminated wall to be checked and possibly sorted out. The spreading process can take place on a height of 2.3 to 2.9 meters (depending on the height of the machine), whereby the depth of the shaft under the machine can be reduced to a minimum respectively avoided completely.

The control of the machine is done by a programmable microprocessor (PLC). The control has also an Ethernet connection that can be used for communication. The standard machine can run a 1000 different programs. All of these programs can be adjusted by the customer. The operation is done by a touch screen. It is possible to connect the control to a production data acquisition system. As an option, the company BIKO offers a remote maintenance via internet or via analogue modem.

The theoretical maximum production of the Therese is 1000 pieces / hour (with one lane).

Robin is a robot that picks up towels fully automatically and feeds them into a terry cloth folding machine. The patented basis of robin is a combination of vision and robotics. Intelligent camera systems recognize the corners of the towel and the robotics picks up these corners and lays down the towel. Robin achieves production speeds of up to 720 pieces/hour. The speed depends on the type and articles to be processed. Robin works 24/7. Robin was conceived in 2017 and taken into production in 2019.

Robin is a freestanding machine that can be loaded with an overhead conveyor or conveyor belt.
The picker at the front of the machine picks up the towel and feeds it into the machine. 
There, the towel is stopped and scanned by a camera and associated special software that detects where the corner of the towel is. The corner detection software is based on artificial intelligence and deep learning. Patented robotic arms with grippers move the towel in the machine in such a way that the intelligent vision system can also detect the second corner. After picking up the second corner, the towel is spread out and laid down on a webbing bed.
This webbing bed is equipped with a stretch bed to guarantee a perfect quality of the front of the towel.

The towel is then transported to the terry cloth folding machine, which is placed behind robin, by means of this webbing bed.

As an option, Robin can be equipped with the option to recognize logos. The logo on your towel is then detected and the towel can be turned over so that the logo is facing down during feeding on the folding machine.

Eva has been developed to perform sorting tasks in the laundry. Ideally, the machine is used in combination with Sara and/or Robin/Roy so that these systems can run at maximum productivity.

Eva can process more than 2000 items per hour. With multiple output positions, this system can feed other machines or can be used as a stand-alone machine to speed up manual processing.

As standard, the system sorts parts by size (separating lavettes from other parts). However, almost any parts can be processed. The standard machine has an output for lavettes and two further output positions. However, additional sorting positions can be installed on request.

Optionally, the system can sort by colour using colour sensors. Otherwise, a neuronal network is trained which, as artificial intelligence, can classify almost everything that we as humans can also distinguish visually.

Eva is simply loaded: manually, from a bag system, from a vacuum system or from a conveyor belt.

The machine is very easy to handle and therefore has low maintenance costs. In order to monitor the process in the machine, the covers are transparent.

Folds, sorts, stacks and counts the laundry pieces. Folding machine for terry towels and other pieces.
The Lena automatically sorts up to three different sizes of pieces by their length, folds them according to the selected program, stacks them in three separate piles, and ejects the piles when the proper number per stack is reached
The Lena first performs a lateral half fold or french fold on each piece, followed by none, one or two crossfolds or french crossfolds depending on the length and the folding program. It can automatically adjust the folded size for varying sized pieces, or fold all pieces with the same end-size.
The width of the lateral fold is determined by adjustable skis. Pieces are folded by mechanical sliders around the skis to form the french fold. Crossfolds are done by knives and reversing belts. Stacking is done by stopping the belts on the exact position and dropping the piece onto the pile.
