Achieving automation of all conventional processes with our gantry loader!

1. First, the customer wanted to automate machining process and eliminate variations in production volume caused by workers.
    
2. Also, they wanted to automate the cleaning and inspection processes after machining.
    
3. Since the clearance between the chuck and the workpiece was very small, there was concern about whether the Loader could precisely attach and detach the workpieces.

 In addition to the machining process, the customer's cleaning equipment and inspection equipment are also arranged in the transport area, where the Loader is used to automate the entire process.

Before that, we adjusted the signal exchange between the cleaning equipment and inspection equipment to enable a smooth start-up of the production line at the time of delivery.

Although the clearance between the precision mandrel chuck and the inner diameter of the workpiece is very small, the Loader has enabled accurate automatic loading and unloading of workpieces.

At the time of business negotiations, we conducted verification of the Loader's loading/unloading performance at our company. For more smooth chucking and unchucking operations, we changed the shape of the chuck side. Also, after repeatedly verifying the movement coordinates on the gantry loader side, the anxiety about automatic attachment and detachment has been eliminated.

The product in the case study introduced here is the CNC Shaft Turning Machine ”ML400”

• With a machine width of 1700 mm, the ML Series is the　smallest size of its class.
   
• With servo tailstock and roller support, retooling time is significantly reduced.
