MIND ADVANTAGES OF EMAG’S VERTICAL PICK-UP MACHINES In many applications, the vertical design and simple pick-up automation of EMAG lathes ensure significantly more efficient production. Compared to horizontal lathes, this means in most cases:

Significantly lower production costs – the following design features ensure this performance: + Compact design

Minimal space requirements thanks to a small footprint—ideal for modern production lines with limited space.

+ Integrated automation

Standard storage for raw and finished parts, as well as easy integration with robotic solutions, ensure maximum efficiency.

+ Maximum productivity

Automated loading and unloading via pick-up technology enables short cycle times and reduced non-productive time.

+ Cost-effectiveness even with small batch sizes Short setup times and simple operation ensure cost-effective production even with frequently changing components.

+ High machine stability

The vibration-damping polymer concrete machine bed ensures optimal process reliability and machining quality.

+ Excellent chip removal

Thanks to the vertical machine design, chips fall downward—for clean processes and infrequent cleaning intervals.

✓

VT-MACHINES Fast processes are required for machining large quantities of shafts. Both the machining process and the loading and unloading processes must be completed extremely quickly. The VT 2/VT 100 and VT 4/VT 200 machines are guaranteed to achieve the maximum performance you require. Four axes, short distances, and a powerful main spindle – these are the strengths of the VT Series. The full effect of these can be felt, in particular, when machining large quantities. A key factor is the machining of parts from two sides. This greatly reduces the machining time. Two tool turrets, each with eleven tool positions which can be equipped with turning tools or driven tools, ensure machine flexibility.

EMAG ECM

Systems for Electrochemical Machining Electrochemical machining is based on the principle of electrolysis. The tool is connected as the cathode to a DC voltage source with the workpiece acting as the anode. A charge exchange takes place between the cathode and anode in an aqueous electrolyte solution, which targets specific areas of the workpiece. This can be used to create contours, ring ducts, grooves, or bell hollows with no contact but very high precision. The removed material is precipitated from the electrolyte solution in the form of metal hydroxide. The machining can be carried out regardless of the structural condition of the metal. Both soft and hard material can be machined. The components are not subjected to either thermal or mechanical stress.

Moving cathode

In the stationary cathode process, the workpiece is connected to the positive terminal, the anode. The tool serves as the stationary cathode. Both the cathode and the anode are connected to a power electronics unit. Depending on the application and quality requirements, the process can be operated using a constant DC current or a pulsed current. A continuously flowing electrolyte stream continuously flushes away the removed hydroxides. Typical applications include deburring or rounding off sharp edges on metal components.

In this process, the cathode – which is connected to the negative terminal and serves as the tool – is moved at a constant feed rate. The cathode has the negative contour of the geometry to be formed. The workpiece acts as the anode and is connected to the positive terminal. A constant electrolyte flow removes the hydroxides generated from the working gap. In most cases, the connected power electronics supply a pulsed DC current. This enables applications such as drilling and broaching.

Precision Electrochemical Electrochemical machining (PECM) Precision electrochemical metal machining (PECM) takes this a step further. This process allows three-dimensional shapes to be machined from a workpiece. The basic setup is similar to the process described above, with the workpiece serving as the anode and the tool as the cathode. In addition, an oscillating motion of the tool is superimposed on the feed and pulse electronics. The working gap is significantly smaller than in the moving cathode process, which enables precision metalworking with tighter tolerances.

AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS FROM EMAG Automated production technology, precisely tailored to the requirements of components and material flow – with this goal in mind, EMAG develops a wide range of automation solutions. As a result, the entire production process becomes faster, less prone to errors, and more cost-effective. Our wide range of automation systems spans from gantry systems to our TrackMotion and robotic cells, all the way to our stacking cells in the SCS series. Thanks to this range of automation solutions, EMAG can implement a wide variety of manufacturing scenarios. Automation Systems: Integrated Material Flow for Increased Productivity

Image without safety fences

Do you want to compensate for labor shortages while simplifying processes and reducing unit production costs at the same time? Our automation solutions provide the ideal foundation for this. It is by no means necessary to commit to a large-scale system from day one. On the contrary: EMAG offers scalable automation solutions, such as EMAG’s own TrackMotion or our modular robot cell. Best of all, everything comes from a single source and is provided with precision, tailored to the customer’s requirements.

TRACKMOTION AUTOMATION SYSTEMS With TrackMotion, the TransLift moves along a rail system (“track”) through the automation aisle between the machines. The TransLift handles the tasks of picking up parts at various heights, as well as positioning and turning the workpiece. This makes it very easy to perform link-ups between machines, whether for parallel processing of identical operations or for sequencing successive operations.

The raw-parts are supplied via a parts magazine. This magazine has a storage capacity of up to 400 components, depending on the workpiece geometry.

Motion automation system is easily accessible from all sides. time: Travel speeds: 150 m/min horizontally and 35 m/min vertically

From small to large without retooling. The tool-free NC gripper ensures the fastest possible machine setup.


SCS STACKING CELL Highly productive production in a confined space – this is what is promised by the new stacking cells of the SCS series Whether for machining sleeve or shaft components, when combined with SCS stacking cells, EMAG machines become compact, fully automated manufacturing systems capable of operating autonomously for hours on end. While the SCS 1 is designed for smaller components fed on workpiece carriers, the SCS 4 can handle wire baskets up to 600 x 500 mm in size and weighing up to 40 kg. Part handling as well as machine loading and unloading are performed by a robot.

MRC ROBOT CELL: BIN PICKING Among other things, the modular automation solution enables the loading of machines with raw-parts directly from bulk material. EMAG’s vertical pick-up turning machines are highly automated in their own right; that is, both machining and unloading/loading via the pick-up spindle from the integrated workpiece conveyor are fully automated. The MRC is the perfect complement to this system, increasing autonomy and enabling the integration of secondary processes such as cleaning, measuring, or marking. If necessary, unsorted raw-parts can also be fed via a bin-picking module. A 3D camera system determines the positions of the raw-parts in the feed container. This data is used for the robot’s path planning, enabling it to pick the individual components one by one from the container (bin picking) and then place them on the machine’s workpiece conveyor.

CRC ROBOT CELLS Automation of Machine Tools with CRC robot cells – reliable, fast and efficient The CRC stacking cell is perfectly designed for handling smaller components. Loading occurs using workpiece carriers housed in drawers, each of which can hold up to 45 kg. An integrated robot handles the components as well as the loading and unloading of the machines. The machine operator is only responsible for replacing the workpiece carriers. If necessary, this can be done in parallel with the main machining time to ensure a continuous production flow.
