A tool magazine-chain of 50 tools is stand­ard. This can be expanded with a 2 or 3 magazine chain, making lengthy, unsuper­vised and flexible production possible.

The laser tool measuring system measures the diameter and length of individual tools on the set-up bench. Incorrect positioning or broken tools are identified and pre-sets checked. Torque monitoring is a useful option for rough cutting operations.

Tool and part handling, as well as monitor­ing and control functions can be individu­ally adapted to the particular use, with the aim of providing the best possible perform­ance and maximum availability.

center is not only set up for high levels of performance, but also minimizes produc­tion downtime with individual automation and straightforward maintenance.

The double gripper takes the palletized blank and automatically replaces the finished part on the rotary table.

The finished part is taken from the plate in a flash and a new blank is put in it's place. The station can also be fitted with a tailstock to align blanks.

The perfect solution for autonomous shift operation.

A variety of parts can even be programmed for flexible production.

For un-machined rods weighing up to 5 kg and with short machining times, a por­tal robot with a 50-round magazine is the perfect solution. Un-machined blanks of various sizes are directly loaded, unloaded and aligned at the loading and unload­ing stations and the machined blades are removed in the same manner.

The tip width can be programmed for vari­ous blade lengths, because the tailstock is equipped with a measuring system.
