Liebherr Domestic Appliances
Receive Several Plus X Awards
Liebherr Rotary Loading System:
The Entry-Level Solution for Unmanned Production
Liebherr has recently been honoured
with three “Plus X Awards” for refrige-
rators and freezers from its current ran-
ge as well as with the 2012 “Specialized
Trade Brand of the Year” award.
A renowned jury of experts grants the
Plus X Awards once a year. The as-
sessment criteria are innovation, de-
sign, quality, ease of use, ergonomics
and ecology. The seal of “The Best
Product of the Year” is awarded for
outstanding achievement within a pro-
duct category.
This year Liebherr won the annual Plus
X Award in three categories: The WTes
5872 multi-temperature wine cabinet, the
TP 1760 table-top refrigerator as well as
Liebherr’s automation systems’ product
range has recently been extended by the
RLS 800 rotary loading system, which
completes the existing PHS linear pallet
handling system. This new system is ide-
al for users who are looking for a cost-
effective entry to high-efficiency produc-
tion for one to two machines. It enables
spindle utilization of more than 90 % and
is available in two sizes.
The pallet storage capacity of the new
RLS is ideal for automation of up to two
machining centers combined with a very
small footprint. The layouts of the mani-
pulator and storage racks allow up to 24
pallet storage locations in a minimal area
– a basic requirement for operation with
very few operators or completely unat-
tended operation.
If production requires a larger number of
pallets or if storage capacity is not ade-
quate, the latter can be increased with
the Liebherr RST storage tower. It is
the GP 1486 table-top freezer were each
honoured as “The Best Product of the
Year” in their respective categories. In
addition, these three appliances received
Plus X Awards for “High Quality, Design
and Ease of Use”.
The specialized trade brand prize was
awarded for the first time this year. The
jury voted for their preferred brands in
different categories, which resulted in
Liebherr being honoured as the 2012
“Specialized Trade Brand of the Year”
in the product group of “Large Home
Appliances”. The reasons why the
award was granted to Liebherr were
Liebherr’s particularly fair distribution
structure and commercially attractive
product portfolio.
installed on a rotary module and docked
to the system in exchange of two shelf
units. Up to 18 storage locations per to-
wer can be added with a minimal foot
print. The storage tower can also be used
to link two individual RLS
units to form one combined
system.
Another machine can be
added without difficulty at
a later time. Thanks to its
shape, the storage modu-
le can be integrated in dif-
ferent positions, depen-
ding on the space available.
Therefore it is ideal for ins-
tallation in existing produc-
tion cells, where space is
limited.
