LANG Technik UK has announced the launch of the RoboTrex Compact Automation System. Currently available in two larger capacities, the RoboTrex Compact rollout was prompted by high customer demand for a smaller variant.
The popular RoboTrex systems are able to load and unload unmanned machine tools and to provide highly efficient lights-out production. Ever increasing competition, rising cost pressures, the desire to increase machine tool utilisation and the shortage of skilled labour are among the reasons existing users cite to justify their purchases of RoboTrex automation systems.
The new RoboTrex Compact was specifically designed for the unmanned production of workpieces in a work envelope of 65 x 50 x 95mm, with a maximum weight of 7kg. The system’s storage rack provides space for up to 100 Makro•Grip micro vices, while its footprint of just 2m
2 delivers an excellent ratio of storage capacity to space requirements. By changing grippers manually, the flexible RoboTrex Compact can be used to hold larger vices from the Makro•Grip 77 series.
The use of these vices means the RoboTrex Compact’s maximum storage capacity is 50 vices.
Thanks to various loading options the cost-effective system can be easily connected to almost any machine tool. It is characterised by user-friendly operation that requires no specialist knowledge and minimum training requirements. Just as the larger capacity RoboTrex systems, the RoboTrex Compact is also a simple plug-and-play solution that ensures a quick installation. In addition the new system delivers a rapid return on investment (ROI).
