Electrical Solutions for CNC Automation: Partnership with OnRobot

As part of our ongoing search for advanced solutions to optimise industrial processes and maximise efficiency, we have entered into a strategic partnership with OnRobot, a leader in cutting-edge workpiece gripping solutions. Let’s explore how OnRobot’s solutions, when combined with our RoboFeed, have brought significant benefits to company seeking to automate their CNC machine tools.

Combining OnRobot solutions with our RoboFeed cells

OnRobot's innovative solutions and tools offer unmatched versatility and ease of use, which are revolutionising operations for thousands of companies globally. Among these, three solutions particularly stand out when it comes to workpiece gripping: the 2FG7 electric gripper, the VGC10 electric vacuum gripper, the MG10 electric magnetic gripper and the new 3FG15 flexible three-finger gripper.

2FG7 electric gripper

The 2FG7 electric parallel gripper is renowned for its flexibility and accuracy, making it perfect for a wide range of industrial applications. Its ease of implementation and programming, without the need for custom designs, ensures a swift return on investment. We integrated this gripper into both our collaborative RoboFeed series C and our RoboFeed A30 and A20 equipped with anthropomorphic robots.

VGC10 electric vacuum gripper

The VGC10 electric vacuum gripper stands out as a compact and flexible solution that can be customised to meet diverse application requirements. Despite its compact and lightweight design, it boasts impressive strength, considering that it can lift up to 15 kilograms.

One of its distinguishing features is that is does not require an external air supply, which simplifies maintenance, cuts down operating costs and accelerates deployment.

We successfully tested and integrated it into our RoboFeed A20 Custom for our customer, Italtronic. This integration allows transparent plastic parts to be picked up with pinpoint accuracy so that they can be machined with CNC machine tools.

MG10 electric magnetic gripper

The MG10 electric magnetic gripper is a versatile, ready-to-use solution capable of handling a wide variety of applications in terms of material movement, assembly and machine servicing.

With built-in intelligence, the MG10 adjusts its force for reliable workpiece handling, maintaining the grip even in critical situations, such as when power is lost.

Customisable and adaptable, it suits a wide range of applications, while its built-in proximity sensor detects the presence of irregularly shaped workpieces or those on large flat metal sheets. Particularly suited for pressing and bending applications. It is integrated with our RoboFeed C20 for processing flat blades, ensuring excellent results without causing any damage to the materials.

3FG15 pinza a tre dita

La pinza a tre dita flessibile 3FG15 offre numerosi vantaggi per ottimizzare la lavorazione su torni CNC. Grazie al suo design versatile, è in grado di gestire un'ampia gamma di pezzi cilindrici di dimensioni variabili (da 20 a 150 mm) con una sola pinza, semplificando notevolmente i processi produttivi.

I principali vantaggi includono:

  • Grande flessibilità: con un diametro massimo di 150 mm e la possibilità di sollevare fino a 15 kg, la pinza è adatta a diverse dimensioni e forme di pezzi, superando le prestazioni di pinze più grandi e ingombranti.
  • Presa forte e stabile: grazie ai 3 punti di contatto, garantisce una presa sicura e precisa, migliorando la qualità e la velocità della lavorazione.
  • Implementazione rapida: il software pre-integrato consente una facile installazione, riducendo i tempi di programmazione.
  • Punta delle dita personalizzabili: questa caratteristica permette di adattare la pinza a pezzi di varie forme, incrementando ulteriormente la sua versatilità.
La pinza 3FG15 è una soluzione flessibile, ideale per chi cerca un unico utensile per molteplici processi CNC, migliorando la produttività e riducendo i tempi di programmazione.
