| Whether you require pallet handling, workpiece handling or a combination of both, the ‘twinner’ concept with two ACURA 5-axis machining centres in a row enables even greater productivity within a small space. ACURA machining centres can currently be linked in series with an INDUMATIK Light 120 and EROWA Leonardo pallet handling system or BMO platinum and titanium robot cells. |

It can be linked up to the INDUMATIK Light 120 multi-pallet storage system as a straightforward pallet solution. There are various pallet dimensions to choose from, e.g. 24 storage spaces for pallets sized 400 x 400 mm, 30 storage spaces for pallets sized 320 x 320 mm or 40 storage spaces for pallets sized 200 x 200 mm. It is also possible to set up a combination of different pallet dimensions, such as 12 storage spaces for pallets sized 400 x 400 mm and 21 storage spaces for pallets sized 200 x 200 mm in a single system.
The BMO Titanium model has up to 100 pallet storage spaces and two pallet set-up stations for handling combined workpieces or pallets. Robots that can handle 180 kg or as much as 500 kg are available, thus allowing even heavy workpieces to be used with pallets. Workpieces are stored in grid drawers. The different clamping devices are automatically loaded into the machine by the robot. A servomotor-adjustable double gripper changes the workpieces without the need to manually alter the gripper fingers for a product change. As such, the system can achieve a very high degree of autonomy.
The Platinum model is designed for workpiece handling. Workpieces are stored in grid drawers. In addition, the system has eight storage spaces for clamping devices, which are automatically loaded into the machine using the robot. A servomotor-adjustable double gripper changes the workpieces without the need to manually alter the gripper fingers for a product change. As such, the system can achieve a high degree of autonomy.
With up to 34 pallets, the MARATHON RZ430 multi-pallet magazine system is ideal when you need to produce individual parts as repeat parts or small to medium series. Pallet handling is carried out by a 6-axis YASKAWA robot with a payload of 88 kg (or optionally 110 kg). Two pull-out storage/retrieval stations guarantee maximum productivity, even with short program run times. A highlight is the MultibatchOS pallet and order management system, including an 18.5" widescreen touch display. The automation system is perfect for use with the 5-axis machining centres ACURA 50 and ACURA 65.
The unique HEDELIUS concept featuring two 5-axis machining centres positioned in a line from the ACURA 50 and ACURA 65 series – which are connected via an automation system – is becoming increasingly popular. Having already sold several systems, we are pleased to now be able to supply the first solution together with EROWA. In this case, linking is carried out by an EROWA Leonardo pallet handling system with 24 pallets, each measuring 320 x 320 mm.
