Get your production moving with the new automated CNC machine tending system.
This phenomenal solution can serve between four and eight CNC machine tools. Even when each machine processes different parts or we have different types of machining: turning, milling, grinding. We can include visual inspection phases for quality control and therefore scraps can be removed from the production line. The LoadPro 4M robotic automated solution has been developed for tending lathes and milling machines with machining cycle times of more than 5 min/machine.
Automation of the turning processes not only facilitates the optimization of the production flows, but also offers flexibility to new market requirements, in order to keep ahead of the competition. The options for industrial robot model are various. One can choose any of the manufacturers: Fanuc, KUKA or Staubli.
Advantages & Benefits
- Serves 4 - 8 machine tools
Serves up to eight machine tools simultaneously. These machines can even be either milling machines, lathes, grinding machines
- Large range of parts
It handles parts from 0.3 kg to 150 kg. The robot is chosen according to the specifics characteristics of the machines.
- Improvement of manufacturing cycle times
No interruptions in the machine tending process so manufacturing cycle times are significantly reduced.
- Automatic gripper change
Different types of parts can be processed in the same milling or turning machine.
- Parts cleaning
The external parts cleaning system helps to remove spackle and emulsion.
- Increased processing efficiency
To make the process more efficient it is possible to equip the cell with visual and part measurement systems.
- Easy to maintain
The robotic cell design allows easy access for maintenance and servicing.
- Safety standards
The robot cell is designed to provide guaranteed safety for employees operating the equipment.
