Gripper Magazine –
which can store up to six grippers for different indexable inserts.
Agile 6-axis robotAgile 6-axis robot
6-axis robot –
from Fanuc, which is used to precisely exchange the indexable inserts and torquing tools.
Integrated magazine for indexable insertsIntegrated magazine for indexable inserts
Magazine for indexable cutting inserts –
offers sufficient space. The two magazines inside the »»micBox«« can be filled in different ways.
Integrated Lubrication UnitIntegrated Lubrication Unit
Lubrication Unit –
for screws features a specialized grease and guarantees that the screws can be simply released using the screw unit.
Moving Rotation and Tilting UnitMoving Rotation and Tilting Unit
Rotation and Tilting Unit –
the 6-axis robot fills the unit with indexable inserts. This process of using the 6-axis robot to insert the indexable inserts into the turning and indexing unit ensures that the inserts are properly reoriented. The screw magazine ensures that a new screw is always used for the tool as needed.
