Process automation<\/mark> to stabilize production processes <\/h2>\n\n

The implementation of robot-supported manufacturing processes in production makes it possible to minimize manual intervention, increase process stability and make optimum use of the machine’s spindle times. By using standardized processes, repeat accuracy and component quality can be reliably ensured. Automation thus supports consistent, economical production. The integration of the SherpaLoader\u00aeT20<\/a> into the machining process of a DMG Mori CTX beta 800 optimizes the precise and consistent Machining of turned parts. <\/p>\n\n

Robot-supported process automation<\/mark> of a DMG Mori CTX beta 800 <\/h2>\n\n

In the production process of the DMG Mori CTX beta 800, automated material provision takes place via a SpaceBox. The SpaceBox was equipped with a positioning plate to provide shape-bound component geometries. The blanks are inserted into the die in a position-oriented manner. This defined positioning enables the SherpaLoader\u00aeT20 to grip the workpieces reliably. First, the robot opens the SpaceBox automatically via an integrated hook and detects the position of the blank matrix. The robot arm then removes the first blank with the blank gripper and positions it on the alignment station. The mechanical pre-alignment on the station ensures repeatable clamping of the blanks in the MAIN SPINDLE of the DMG Mori CTX beta 800 and increases stability in the Next machining process. The defined positional alignment reduces clamping errors and supports consistent machining quality. After pre-positioning, the robot automatically clamps the workpiece in the DMG Mori CTX beta 800 and machining begins as soon as the workpiece is clamped in the MAIN SPINDLE. Meanwhile, the SherpaLoader\u00aeT20 picks up the next raw part from the Raw Material Staging<\/a> and positions it on the alignment station. Once machining is complete, the robot arm removes the finished part using the finished part gripper provided for this purpose. The previously positioned raw part is already carried along when the finished part is removed and then clamped directly into the chuck of the DMG Mori CTX beta 800. The implementation of synchronous processes reduces non-productive times and helps to maximize spindle time<\/a>. The machined parts are stored in an orderly manner in the SpaceBox’s Matrix, which enables structured further processing. <\/p>\n\n

Automated CNC Machining<\/mark> with the highest safety standards <\/h2>\n\n

The system is equipped with comprehensive safety devices to ensure the safe implementation of the automated process. A safely monitored light curtain with a resolution of 30 mm on the loading side detects the entry of persons. The inspection door at the rear is also safely monitored. In addition, the robot movement is continuously monitored with regard to position and speed. These measures prevent intrusion, crawling under or reaching over and ensure safe operation of the cell. <\/p>\n\n

Maximum efficiency<\/mark> through automation: DMG Mori CTX beta 800 and SherpaLoader\u00aeT20 <\/h2>\n\n

The combination of robot handling, mechanical pre-alignment and defined matrix positioning creates stable process conditions in the turning of cast parts. The systems used enable a standardized transfer of the workpieces, reduce the variance during clamping and contribute to the reproducibility of the component quality. At the same time, the operating personnel are relieved<\/a> and can concentrate on higher-level tasks. The automated solution with the SherpaLoader\u00ae T20 on the DMG Mori CTX beta 800 thus supports consistent, economical production<\/a> and the efficient use of existing machine resources. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
