    Automation for Flexible and Unmanned CNC Production.

    Do you want to increase machine utilization, reduce manual handling, and make it easier to run unmanned production?

    Duroc Machine Tool's Table Solution is designed for efficient and flexible machine tending with robots.

    The solution combines a robust table construction with a design adapted to the CNC machine, allowing the robot, part handling, and safety systems to work together as one integrated solution.

    The system can be configured with different robot types, single or double grippers, and interchangeable raster plates, making it adaptable to different workpieces and production requirements.

    A Flexible Solution for Machine Tending.

    Automation requirements vary from one production environment to another.

    That's why our Table Solution has been developed as a flexible platform that can be adapted to the machine, workpieces, and desired level of automation.

    The solution offers easy plug-and-play integration between the CNC machine and robot, different raster plates for workpiece handling, and several gripper options.

    This makes it easier to automate existing processes without necessarily having to invest in a large and complex production cell.

    How Can the Solution Optimize Your Production?

    Automated machine tending can reduce the time operators spend on repetitive tasks such as loading and unloading workpieces.

    This creates opportunities for longer periods of unmanned production, better utilization of machine capacity, and a more consistent production process.

    At the same time, automation can free up skilled employees to focus on tasks where their experience and technical expertise create greater value.

    Industrial Robot Table Solution.

    The Industrial Robot Table Solution is based on a FANUC M20iD/35 industrial robot with a payload of up to 35 kg.

    The solution includes:
     
    • FANUC M20iD/35 robot
    • SCHUNK double parallel gripper
    • Design fence with integrated buttons for start, stop, reset, homing, etc.
    • Intelligent safety scanner
    • Automatic robot homing
    • Integrated LED for robot status
    • Mounting and run-in within the EU

    Collaborative Robot Table Solution.

    For manufacturers looking for a flexible solution based on collaborative robot technology, the system is also available with a FANUC CRX20iA/L with a payload of up to 20 kg.

    The solution includes:
     
    • FANUC CRX20iA/L robot
    • SCHUNK double parallel gripper
    • Design fence with integrated controls
    • Intelligent safety scanner
    • Automatic robot homing
    • Integrated LED for robot status
    • Mounting and run-in within the EU

    Make Operation Even Easier with iHMI.

    The Table Solution can be expanded with our iHMI software, bringing robot and CNC machine operation together in one user interface.

    Operators get access to a 12" Siemens HMI panel, allowing both the robot and CNC machine to be controlled from the same place.
     
    The system also provides 3D simulation of selected operations and can be expanded with technologies such as vision and bin picking.
     
    The iHMI solution includes:
     
    • Control of the robot and CNC machine from the same panel
    • 3D simulation directly on the HMI
    • 12" Siemens HMI
    • Siemens PLC for full integration
    • Integrated touch panel in the design fence
    • Options for additional technologies such as vision and bin picking

    Safety as an Integrated Part of the Solution.

    Automation should not only be efficient. It also needs to provide a safe working environment.

    The solution therefore includes an intelligent safety scanner and fencing that can be configured in accordance with applicable safety regulations.

    Safety functions are integrated as a natural part of the cell, creating a solution that is both efficient and straightforward for operators to work with in their daily production.

    Ready for Unmanned Production.

    For many manufacturers, the goal of automation isn't necessarily to replace operators. It's about getting more productive hours from existing machines.

    With automated part handling, CNC machines can continue producing during breaks, outside normal working hours, or for longer periods with limited operator involvement.

    This creates an opportunity to increase spindle utilization without a corresponding increase in staffing and can help shorten the payback period of the automation investment.


    Which Solution Is Right for Your Production?

    The choice between an industrial robot, a collaborative robot, and the different configurations depends on factors such as workpiece weight, production volume, available floor space, and the level of flexibility required.

    At Duroc Machine Tool, we help you configure an automation solution that matches your CNC machine and your specific production requirements.
