In a production line, 3 machining centers (Alfing) need to be linked. The unmachined part in- and outfeed needs to be incorporated as well as an embossing station.

Loading and unloading of various machine tools in a versatile production. The objective was line cycle times of 135 seconds and maximum machine idle times (parts exchange through portal) of 25 seconds. Various fastening scenarios were required for various workpiece types. Automotive-level user friendliness and safety requirements.

Conical gearwheels with an outside diameter of 250 mm - 650 mm are to be handled within a processing centre with a gear-cutting machine, deburring machine and a washing machine. Intermediate storage is required between machining and gear cutting. In the gear-cutting process, the play between the workpiece and the system is 0.03 mm. The layout had to have the smallest footprint possible.

Loading and unloading of various machine tools in a versatile production environment. The objective was line cycle times of 18 seconds and maximum machine idle times (parts exchange through portal) of 15 seconds. Various fastening scenarios were required for various workpiece types. Automotive-level user friendliness and safety requirements. The customer?s space is limited.
