Modular system with robot
FOR SERVICING UP TO THREE MACHINE TOOLS
The evolution of customisation for maximum efficiency.
One of the main obstacles a system integrator may encounter when designing and installing automated systems for the servicing of CNC machine tools is adapting the robotic cell to the often different spaces in the workshop. Commercially available standard solutions cannot always be adapted to the needs of customers and Industry 4.0 and customised solutions significantly increase design time and financial investment. To address this issue, Assistec – which operates in the field of electronic and mechanical support for troubleshooting or machine downtime – has developed a robotic system for servicing standard machine tools, which can adapt to most workshops. This is how Robofeed Flexi was born.
COMPONENTS OF THE ROBOFEED FLEXI EVOLUTION
Robofeed Flexi has a number of technological advantages that set it apart from other robotic cells on the market. The primary difference lies in the design of the automation system, which involves dividing the space into separate modules for each cell and positioning the various components in these designated areas to improve the effectiveness of the process.
Robofeed Flexi occupies an area in the workshop ranging from 2×3 cm to 4×4 cm.
The robotic cell is made up of five main elements:
Pallets
Bin Picking (3D vision for bulk parts)
A3X Drawer warehouse, for medium batches
MODULA, vertical warehouse with two bays for large batches
SHELVES and LOADING CABIN
Marking station
3D vision systems for bulk picking of parts
Reprocessing station
Blowing/Centrifuge station
Contact/Optical dimensional station, integrable with the CNC and UT correctors
Deburring station
Floor grating.

PLUS TECNOLOGICI PER UN’AUTOMAZIONE A 360°
Una delle possibili configurazioni della linea Flexi, è Robofeed Flexi-RC2, frutto di una profonda sinergia tra imprese. Assistec ha ideato il configuratore che permette di studiare insieme al cliente la soluzione migliore per soddisfare i bisogni produttivi del momento, mentre un sistema innovativo di presa e di bloccaggio realizzato dal Gruppo SCHUNK GmbH & Co. KG (www.schunk.com) garantisce la lavorazione di tutte le facce dei pezzi grezzi in completa autonomia. In questo modo è garantito un aumento della produttività, consentendo agli operatori di dedicarsi ad altri compiti.
Inoltre, il nuovo sistema portapezzi della cassettiera permette all’operatore di movimentare un maggior numero di particolari lavorati senza grandi sforzi fisici.
L’innovazione più significativa è rintracciabile nel sistema di presa della
morsa autocentrante che, completata con il modulo a punto zero,
permette di ottenere un sistema di carico e lavorazione perfettamente
sintonizzato. La morsa autocentrante diventa mano di presa e, grazie al
modulo a punto zero VERO-S SCHUNK, il robot preleva il pezzo da
lavorare dal magazzino e lo porta in macchina, fissando la pinza al modulo
a punto zero. Questo passaggio evita appoggi imprecisi e inutili perdite di
tempo in passaggi di presa. Finita la lavorazione è sufficiente che il robot
riagganci la pinza per lo stoccaggio del pezzo lavorato.
R-C2 by Gressel, inoltre, offre la possibilità di aggiungere un modulo per la
lavorazione della sesta faccia, attraverso un semplice scambio di presa tra
due pinze. Questo cambio presa è possibile grazie al cassetto porta morse
presente sulla cassettiera motorizzata A3X.

gripping and clamping system RC2
Like all the other RoboFeed robotic cells, the RoboFeed Flexi can be seamlessly integrated with the innovative gripping and clamping system developed by Schunk GmbH & Co.
The combination of these two systems ensures the machining of all blank faces in complete autonomy. This guarantees an increase in productivity, allowing operators to focus on other tasks.
A deep synergy between companies – RoboFeed and Schunk
