Workpiece part families with similar dimensions, weights and blank contours are the focus of this type of automation. The workpieces are gripped directly by the robot and inserted into a pneumatically or hydraulically controlled vise. No expensive multiple clamping devices are required, but component-specific grippers with adapted gripper jaws for each blank and finished part. The conversion or changeover to another workpiece is more complex and time-consuming, but larger series can be produced most quickly here.

In this recorded webinar, we will show you how to reduce set-up times, extend machine running times and increase spindle hours, because set-up time optimisation and automation are crucial for high productivity and the economic success of a machining centre.
