High productivity is achieved through process-intensive machining and simple-to-operate space-saving robots

POINT 01
The number of setups and workpiece transportations between processes are reduced through process-intensive machining
  • A sub-spindle is used to complete process 1 and 2 on one machine.
  • The number of setups and workpiece transportations between processes are minimized to reduce labor and chucking errors.

POINT 02
Space-saving automation is achieved by combining a machine tool with a built-in robot
  • Robot installed in the machining chamber automates loading and unloading of parts.
  • A movable workpiece stocker is installed in the front of the machine.
  • The stocker fits within the operator area, enabling automation to be done in the same space as when the robot is not used.

POINT 03
Robot operation is easy even for operators who do not have experience with working with robots
  • By simply teaching the start an end points, the NC automatically generates a collision-free path.
  • The robot can be easily operated using the machine tool's pulse handle.
