Lang Technik has launched its RoboTrex Compact automation system into the UK market. Currently available in two larger capacities, the RoboTrex Compact launch was prompted by high customer demand for a smaller option.

RoboTrex systems are able to load and unload unmanned machine tools and provide lights-out production. Ever increasing competition, rising cost pressures, the desire to increase machine tool utilisation and the shortage of skilled labour are among the reasons existing users cite to justify their purchases of RoboTrex Automation Systems.

The new RoboTrex Compact was designed for the unmanned production of workpieces within the size envelope of 65 x 50 x 95 mm, up to a maximum weight of 7 kg. The system’s storage rack provides space for up to 100 Makro Grip Micro vices, while its footprint of just 2 sq m delivers an excellent ratio of storage capacity to space.

By changing grippers manually, the flexible RoboTrex Compact can hold larger vices from the Makro Grip 77 series. It means the RoboTrex Compact’s maximum storage capacity is 50 vices.

Thanks to various loading options, the cost-effective system can easily connect to almost any machine tool. According to Lang Technik, the RoboTrex Compact is characterised by user-friendly operation that requires no specialist knowledge and minimum training requirements. Just as the larger capacity RoboTrex systems, the RoboTrex Compact is also a simple plug-and-play solution that ensures a quick installation. In addition, the new system delivers a rapid return on investment (ROI), reports the company.
