The new Erowa Robot Compact 150 features a wide range of functions and a transfer weight of up to 150 kg. This new automation solution is suitable for the flexible loading of up to two production machines for all processing technologies – from eroding to milling. Thanks to its design, the loader offers high magazine density within a small footprint.
An autonomous and flexible production cell, the Erowa Robot Compact 150 loads a die-sinking EDM machine with little space requirement. The two independent drives of the X axis enable long reach and minimal interfering contour to the machine.
It is even possible to load large Erowa MTS 400 pallets with a transfer weight of up to 150 kg and a workpiece height up to 400 mm on to the EDM machine. Over 500 Erowa pallets with different system sizes can be stored in the magazines, with magazine levels set up exactly as required.
An optional loading station can be integrated to save space. It enables large and heavy workpieces (UPC and MTS pallets) to be set up at an ergonomic height while the robot is working. An indexing system (4 x 90°) prevents the pallet from engaging in the wrong position and locks it automatically upon engagement.
Notably, the Erowa EWIS chip identification system (option) is based on RFID technology. It enables the unique identification of pallets and electrode holders fitted with EWIS chips in the robot magazine.
Regarding process control, the Erowa JMS 4.0 connects all data and oversees the entire production process. Due to the automated data flow and real-time monitoring of production processes, JMS 4.0 provides the basis for a seamless workflow, reports the company.
