From zero to five hundred in 15 seconds. That's the time the robot needs to change its gripper and pick up a heavy pallet. Despite the capacity for heavy loads, lightweight pallets are transported with the same reliability as well.
In mixed mode manufacturing, a single robot must sometimes handle both large heavy and small light workpieces.
The WGS gripper is the interface for the mega pallets up to 500 kg transfer weight. It is suitable for part sizes up to 800 x 800 x 500 mm. With the swivel axis, handling up to 400 kg, pallets with workpieces are rotated. Useful for emptying cavities or reorienting the machining position.
The Rotary Magazine is typically chosen for up to ø 210 mm size pallets. The ratio of floor plan to the number of pallet positions speaks for the circular arrangement of the storage locations. Rectangular workpiece pallets are efficiently placed in the rack magazines. Both the utilization of space and the fully automatic loading by the robot are very useful for large workpieces.
