Material-Handling Series
Automatic changeover greatly
increases the operational efficiency!
- Workpiece transport and jig changeover within a machining center, a step forward to the “Manufacturing Automation”
- Simply attach to a M/C
- Operable by coolant pressure, air, or spindle rotation power
- Variety of clamping variations for different applications
“Amazing Ideas / Facts!”
The “Material-Handling Series” utilizes coolant pressure, air, or spindle power to clamp workpieces and jigs by simply installing in a machining center.
Various clamping methods are available according to the shape of the workpiece or the jig.
→“Automation”
→“Cost reduction”
→“Efficiency Improvement”
How to utilize Material-Handling
(Case 1) transfer of rough and finished workpieces
(Case 2) Workpiece changeover on a 5-axis lathe machine
Background / Point for Development
Background
- Conventionally, jig changeover and workpiece mounting and transport are performed either by robots or manually.
- However, robots are usually expensive, the manual labor is time-consuming and thus less efficient, due to the frequent operational stops (interruptions).
Point for Development
- The “Material Handling Series” utilizes three types of power sources (coolant pressure, air, and spindle rotation) enabling workpiece transfer and jig changeover in the same equipment (i.e. M/C).
It realizes both “automation” and “investment reduction” as well as the operational efficiency.
