New TPC-Mobile Cobot Workstation

Cobot applications continue to grow across all sectors. We introduce our new TPC for cobots: a proven integration module we’ve adapted to be the Cobot Workstation the market asked us for! Light on it’s feet but with adequate payload and excellent maneuverability/mobility for small- large factories. Has safety proximity sensor: Keyence, machine vision: Basler, PLC: Mitsubishi/Keyence, for locating with CNC Machine and also for pick/place duty! 4 Drawer racking system for material/part placement/storage. Easy to operate! Available as machine tending module only or bundled with Fanuc’s popular CRX 10iA/L Cobot Arm! Will work with most Cobots: Fanuc CRX 10,20, UR 10e ,16e, ABB: GoFa, Doosan, etc. 

HS-1 CNC/Plastic Injection

Our Hybrid Suite: offers excellent tending solutions for Fanuc RoboDrill CNC Machine and RoboShot Electric Plastic Injection Presses incorporating Fanuc LR Mate Industrial robots. Our Modules FA-1 for CNC and PM-1 for Injection Molding Machine can also be paired with other CNC machines and Injection presses for machine tending, picking/placing, material transfer and paired with other robots/cobots too.

Our FA-1 module enables the robotic arm to pick up material blanks with our specially designed double grippers and place them into the machine bed vise/chuck. After machining is finished the gripper will pick up the semi-finished part and turn it in the vise for additional face machining or if complete, pick it up and place it into the drawers or bins depending on the module model and design. Repeating the process until the job run is complete.

For Plastic Injection Press: PM-1 performs Robotic Mold Tending: picking and placing of inserts into the injection mold for insert overmolding. It also picks the insert overmolded part and transfers to the conveyor, picks the sprues and runners (plastic excess material) for depositing in the regrind pile for recycling. PM-1’s automated Insert overmolding system enables tight tolerance locating in single or multiple cavity tools. The inserts can be plastic, metal, composite fiber, etc. We provide reduced cycle time, increased productivity, enhanced molded part quality, reduced scrap, and mold protection.

PE-1 Plastic Extrusion Automated Cell

Our Automated Handling Cell can be used with Extrusion System for Plastic/Rubber or with Pultrusion System for Composite Forms. Fanuc LR Mate M20iD/35 provides measuring/cutting/ stacking and weighing of forms. Cell configuration/scale can be customized to meet your requirements.

T2 Flexible Feed/ Price Point Solution for CNC Lathing/Turning

T2 automation design features: Small Footprint/PC System Control (high software scalability) Low Volume-High Mix 

High Diversity of round and square stock enables quick line changing. Picks stock out of rack and places into the CNC Machine for clamping; then picks the finished workpiece and places back into the workpiece holding rack in the T2 module. Can perform preliminary remote trouble shooting through network connection.

 

Simple and Safe: FA-1 Compact Solution for Medium Sized Bot

FA-1 is a feeding system that can load materials and work in conjunction with industrial robots. Good for Low Volume High Mix or High Volume Low Mix!
It is suitable for milling, turning, cleaning, and inspection feeding systems and can be used with single or multiple processing machines, depending on the production requirements.
It can be used with various types of processing machines, such as milling machines, lathes, or turning-milling combination machines. The planning mode
can be 1 to 1, 1 to 2, or 1 to 3, providing increased integration and versatility.
It has multiple layers of drawers and a large storage capacity, allowing for the arrangement of workpieces based on their size and it ensures the safety of the workers while the robot is carrying out loading and unloading operations on the other side.
The tray size of FA-1 is 30.75 x 19″ (780X480mm), making it particularly suitable for medium-sized workpieces or for placing quick-change clamping modules. The tray
can still be manually handled by one person after loading the workpiece.
FA-1 is equipped with a touch panel, making the production schedule visualized and user-friendly.

SL-1 Sliding Door Type w Material/Workpiece cart

SL-1    is a material loading and robotic integration feeding system solution suitable for feeding systems, milling, cleaning, and inspection applications. Good for Low Volume High Mix or High Volume Low Mix!

SL-1 locates near the processing machine thereby reducing retrieval and delivery time. Extremely efficient feeding/storing solution。

SL-1  Stores a large number of work pieces in mobile containers and store trays. When there is a need for weekend or night shift production, you can prepare additional containers in advance for quick replacement, providing uninterrupted operation.

SL-1 uses trays to carry pieces, whether arranged in a matrix or random visual placement.
The tray size of SL-1 is 12.6 x 15.4” (320mm x390mm), making it particularly suitable for producing small to medium sized parts having the weight that one person can handle.
 
SL-1 Touchscreen panel for user-friendly operation.

For Lathe/Turning Center: FD-1 Front Entry Type

 FD-1 is a material loading system that integrates with industrial robots. It is suitable for use in conjunction with milling, turning, cleaning, inspection, or other feed systems.

FD-1 can be configured alongside a single processing machine as part of the production operation. It features multi-layered trays for increased storage capacity.

This system is ideal for relatively small to medium-sized parts, often with

FD-1 retains work space for manual mold changing, and its arm can move left and right. The tray size is 15.4 x 12.6″ (390x320mm), specifically suitable for small to medium-sized pieces, maintaining a weight that can be handled by one person even after loading the workpiece onto the tray.

The trays can store different types of work pieces, which can be extracted by the system according to processing requirements. Utilizing a touchscreen panel, FD-1
offers visual representation of the production progress, enhancing user-friendliness and intuitiveness.
