Pre-Engineered Systems

RoboFlex® I – Automatic Pallet Loader

• Rugged aluminum extruded framework:  provides a solid base for mounting the basic structures of the pallet switching unit. If bolted to the floor, the framework does not rely on mounting brackets or physical connections to the machine tool. The clear anodized finish looks great and the finish will not chip, peel, or fade.
  

• Pre-engineered unit maximizes investment: The pre-engineered unit provides easy applications with only a few simple adjustments. The end user only needs to determine pallet layout and gripper finger, and teach a few simple points to the robot from one of four pre-determined part handling patterns, and you’re ready to produce parts.

• High-speed part exchanges:  The robot will typically exchange parts in 15 seconds or less. Additionally, uptime is greater since the robot works through breaks and is always ready to change parts the very instant that the machine requests another part.

• Versatile application: The RoboFlex pallet loader module can be connected to a wide variety of machine tools. The unit is also capable of running different parts simply by changing pallets, grippers and the part handling program.

• Ease of use:  The control panel consists of four basic operating buttons. Start-up is quick and easy. The most common functions are easy to identify, and our simple message center indicates what to do next.

Optons to enhance function

• Robot Shifter allows the robot to be moved out of the way with the push of a button. When installed on a front loaded lathe or chucker, the robot shifter will allow an operator to stand in the space normally occupied by the robot. This will facilitate part changeover, tooling maintenance, or machine cleaning
