READY: Ready for automation, without committing today.

For businesses that currently manufacture compact 5-axis components flexibly and wish to keep their options open for future pallet or robotic automation. The machine remains accessible from the front and is technically prepared for lateral automation. This enables you to ensure precise manufacturing today whilst remaining flexible for the next stage of expansion.

For businesses whose production processes vary from day to day: long workpieces, heavy components, large clamping surfaces and changing machining tasks. The TILTENTA READY provides a stable foundation for this, offering flexibility in day-to-day single-part and small-batch production. At the same time, your production setup remains open to future expansion should you wish to shorten set-up times and further increase productive running times.

When the machine is operating at full capacity, the tool stock becomes the next key to productivity. A STANDBY magazine provides additional tool positions, reduces the need for manual intervention and enables longer running times when switching between jobs. This means the spindle remains in the process for longer, even when components, materials and programmes change frequently.

When machinery and tool stock are utilised to full capacity, loading and unloading become the next key to productivity. Appropriate automation reduces non-productive times, enables set-up to take place whilst production is running, and extends productive running times even outside regular shifts. Step by step, this creates a compact production cell that maximises capacity from the available floor space and existing workforce.

Pallet automation is suitable for businesses where the machine is generally well utilised, but too much spindle runtime is lost during set-up, adjustment and loading or unloading. It is particularly useful for small to medium batch sizes and jobs that can be prepared whilst the machine is running.
This creates a production cell that processes several jobs in succession and enables more productive running time, even with limited staff.

Workpiece handling is suitable for businesses that wish to automatically load and unload large numbers of similar raw parts or recurring components without having to prepare each part individually on pallets. It is particularly useful for predictable part families, stable clamping processes and production runs – whether large-scale or small-batch – with repeatable sequences. This creates an automated production cell that relieves the operator of repetitive manual tasks and reliably supplies the machine over extended periods.

Hybrid automation is suitable for businesses that wish to produce both pre-assembled pallets and recurring workpieces automatically. It is a sensible option when the mix of parts varies, but longer unmanned running times and flexible order sequences are still required. This results in a production cell that can process individual parts, small batches and recurring components with significantly greater independence from the operator.
