The RoboFlex DS is a small-footprint production cell that contains an entire robotic part loading system. It comes with two independent docking frames and hydraulic scissor-lift transport carts; allowing for flexibility in orientation to the robot and machine tool. The two hydraulic scissor-lift transport carts are mounted with 27.375” x 17.5” aluminum part pallets, allowing for rapid material exchange for continuous production.  The welded steel pedestal holds the robot and is mounted to your shop floor.  The Docking Station hardware allows the cell operator to quickly and accurately exchange the work queue.

The RoboFlex DS is simple to operate. The operator places part blanks onto a pallet carried by the transport carts. At the appropriate time, the operator rolls in an empty cart into the receiving dock then uses a foot pedal to lift the pallet with finished parts that needs to be exchanged. A quick swap of the carts and the reverse sequence to lower the next pallet onto the docking framework and you’re ready to go. Parts will automatically process until the parts run out.
