TOWER WAREHOUSE WITH ROBOTS AND INTEGRATED DOUBLE BAY DRAWERS

FOR CNC MACHINE SERVICING

Robotised solutions for servicing cnc machines with tower storage and integrated double bay drawers

Robo Feed A3 is a family of robot cells for loading/unloading non-stackable parts and small/medium-sized shafts.

The A3 models are designed with a tower warehouse with drawers integrated into the structure, with a double bay for loading and unloading parts without downtime.

Immediate monitoring of production progress thanks to LED indicators on the machine side.

The rapid installation and configuration of the cell, as well as its compact dimensions, mean that it can be perfectly integrated into the workshop.

ADVANTAGES

Loading/unloading without stopping the machine via drawers accessible from the operator side

Operator supervision not required

Continuous production of the different recipes of pieces

Also suitable for small to medium batches

Quick retooling of drawers, for anquick and easy article change

Easy programming via HMI panelsand software developed by Assistec

features

Serie A copertina

Modular Jig

for quick retooling of drawers.

The Assistec modular jig is designed for maximum versatility in handling different types of parts.

With specific adjustments, the operator can quickly adapt it to production needs, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.

Re-tooling is intuitive and fast thanks to the dedicated tackers, which simplify positioning and clamping operations, improving the accuracy and repeatability of the process.

A3 MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

The system is designed to simplify human-machine interaction, making automation accessible even to operators without programming expertise.

No complex learning curve and no coding required: all operations are guided and intuitive.

TECHNICAL AND FUNCTIONAL FEATURES

Siemens PLC-based control system with multi-touch HMI: reliable and responsive, designed for demanding industrial environments.

  • User-friendly guided interface: Thanks to user-friendly software, the operator is guided step by step through recipe creation, workflow management, and operation of the robotic cell.
  • Integration with external systems: master data and production workflows can be entered directly on the machine or imported from ERP/MES systems
  • More efficient operational management: the system helps to streamline day-to-day activities, improving control, continuity and organisation of the production process.

MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE – KEY BENEFITS

Thanks to software designed with user-friendly features, the operator is guided step by step through the creation of recipes, the management of workflows and the use of the robotic cell.

  • Simple and intuitive Human-Machine Interface (HMI):
  • Intelligent production management
    • Simplified production recipe creation
    • Operator scheduling of small batches with real-time priority adjustment.
    • Production progress forecasting based on machine tool status.
  • Full traceability:
    • Momplete monitoring of all movements within the warehouse.
    • Real-time inventory of raw and finished parts, load unit types, clamping fixtures/pallets, etc.

DIGITAL TWIN INTEGRATED INTO THE SOFTWARE

Gestione di ROBO FEED serie A3, tramite un’interfaccia tridimensionale dinamica, che si adatta al caso d’uso:
  • Navigable 3D layout of the ROBO FEED A3: providing a comprehensive view of its internal structure, allowing the operator to monitor the machine’s status.
  • Recipe creation support: with a 3D graphical display of the part being built or imported. Assistance with positioning and nesting on the loading unit.

INNOVATIVE GRIPPING AND LOCKING SYSTEM AVAILABLE IN FANUC M20 ID/25 ROBOT CONFIGURATION 25 KG AT THE WRIST AND 1831 MM REACH

The result of a deep synergy between Assistec and Gruppo SCHUNK GmbH & Co. KG, this system guarantees the machining of all blank faces in complete autonomy.

Robo feed A31 with Gressel R-C2 option is one of our plug & play anthropomorphic robot solutions for machine tool servicing.

Equipped with a drawer magazine with double-bay drawers integrated into the structure, the R-C2 option allows the robot to directly handle self-centring vices for workpiece gripping and loading directly on the machine using a zero-point module.

Its compact size and the presence of a laser scanner that eliminates the need for physical safety barriers, allow for installation even in limited spaces. This guarantees maximum access to the machine tool for retooling or manual operations.

Automated storage of machined parts in drawers

The robotic cell is characterised by a tower magazine with 7 drawers extractable both on the robot side and operator side dedicated to the workpieces, and a drawer dedicated to clamp storage with 12 stations.

The loading of unmachined pieces and the unloading of machined pieces from the drawers are carried out without interrupting the machining cycle and the operator can access and extract them in complete safety.

Each drawer has a size of 755 x 805 mm, an available height of 145 mm and a maximum load capacity of 150 kg: these measurements make the Robo feed magazine one of the largest among the compact solutons on the market.

Robo feed A31 presents itself as the most suitable solution even for small to medium processing batches, thanks to the quick retooling of the drawers and the simplified software used for the management of the gripping points in the magazine, combined with the R-C2 system.

Light signals also make it easy for the operator to identify the status of the production cycles, and machine maintenance is facilitated by the slide opening of the side door.

As standard, the Robo feed A31 with Gressel R-C2 option is equipped with a drawer for storing a sample part for quality control, either at the operator’s request or at a programmed frequency.
