Requirement
Part load/unload of lathe. Storage capacity for rough and finished parts on individual pallet tables

• Machine tending application
• Storage tables for rough and finished parts reduces operator intervention
• Includes double gripper system in 4x90° rotary steps
• Overhead arrangement of carriage optimizes access by operator for tool change, etc.

Solution
Cantilever style gantry robot (linear gantry robot with additional perpendicular linear axis) for part load/unload on a single lathe. Individual hydraulically actuated grippers for rough and machined parts on a 4x90° rotary axis minimizes part exchange time. Pallets for part storage makes the system very flexible and reduces operator intervention.
Standard robot controller S4Cplus for gantry and peripherals guarantees highest reliability and minimal time for installation and commissioning.
