Machine tool automation

Workpiece:

Production parts

Task:

Robot-assisted loading of a CNC machining center with production parts.

Solution:

The raw parts to be machined are manually provided in magazines on a rotary indexing table accessible from the rear.

An industrial robot removes the parts and feeds them to a camera system to determine the alignment. The robot then places the parts in the correct position in the clamping fixture in the processing machine.

After machining, the finished parts are cleaned and placed back into the magazines.

Customer benefits:

Fully automatic loading of the processing machine, automatic cleaning process, seamless process archiving
