Robotics

We offer the opportunity to precisely machine geometrically complex workpieces with industrial robots. During the machining, the robot is supported by additional guiding systems or is locked in case of the highest precision requirements. Especially for large workpieces with free form surface and tight production tolerances our machine concept is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to a normal machining centre. Via "Run MyRobot" the robot is fully integrated into the CNC control. Neither operators nor programmers need any robot programming knowledge.

Product Variants

 

The Robo-Wick robot winding system masters the production of complex wound workpieces, for example heat exchangers, without any manual intervention.

The geometry is completely made by the robot, which is integrated in the CNC control. The ends of the workpieces are finished on the milling module. The winding mandrel can be changed automatically for even more flexibility in series production.

Whether metal, plastic or wood, Robo-Mill processes large workpieces with flexibility, speed and precision.

The raw part is measured three-dimensionally, creating the basis for the robot. The robot’s six axes can fully exploit their flexibility during machining. The machine also masters curved workpieces thanks to the CAD/CAM interface with spline correction.
