machining center Gripping, clamping, stocking and machining – and this around the clock Compact-variable-individual The Hermle RS 05-2 robot system can be used in all areas where fully automated production of workpieces, weighing up to 5 kg, is required. Particularly in precision engineering and medical technology the RS 05-2 shows all its advantages, such as compactness, high variability both in the rack storage and in the clamping device and gripper insert. A newly developed finger change on the gripper allows truly flexible production for the first time in small robotics – can also be used as a double gripper for even faster workpiece changes. Automatically produce more The combination of NC-controlled long-stroke clamp and the new automatic finger change allows workpieces to be changed fully automatically. In combination with the individual parts supply using infinitely adjustable Hermle universal matrices, the innovative RS 05-2 robot system increases productivity in an unprecedented way. And here is one of its greatest advantages: grippers and clamping devices adjust themselves fully automatically to the workpiece blanks – in a very large and coordinated gripping and clamping range – so that manual intervention is virtually eliminated. Three individually selectable rack storage variants ensure optimum provision of parts. « single storage The single storage with two universal dies is already a highly efficient solution for numerous applications, making flexible and profitable automation possible. RS 05-2 robot system – double gripper with a wide variety of finger grippers for increased productivity « drawer storage The perfectly docked drawer storage for maximum storage in the smallest of spaces. Storage solutions with 4, 5 or 6 individual drawers available. A number of standard and easily adjustable universal dies quickly adapt to any workpiece shape. Even oversized workpieces can be changed and machined without any problems. « pallet storage Perfectly integrated: the rack storage solution for up to 67 small pallets depending on the type of pallet. It offers maximum capacity and allows ergonomically perfect setup during the primary processing time. RS 05-2 robot system – 5-fold drawer storage with universal dies for individual and large workpiece storage RS 05-2 robot system – change of finger grippers – high clamping range for a wide range of workpiece dimensions NC-controlled long-stroke clamp – high clamping range for a wide range of workpiece dimensions 38 no. 3, September 2021
machining center Variable machine selection The RS 05-2 robot system can be adapted to various Hermle machining centers: C 12, C 22, C 32, C 250 or C 400. With an installation area of only 2 m2 , the RS 05-2 robot system always provides free access to the working areas of the machines, regardless of whether the system has been adapted at the front (C 32, C 250 and C 400) or at the side (C 12 and C 22). Easy handling The RS 05-2 is fully integrated into the Hermle software environment and is correspondingly easy to operate via the touch screen – just like a stand-alone machine. There is hardly any need for manual intervention. HACS The Hermle “Automation-Control-System» (HACS) is the proven control software from Hermle. Intuitive operation and a clear structure help to prevent errors. The operator has a clear view of all relevant data including system overview, work plans, sequence plans and tool overview. Forecast of runtime and tool usage. All workpieces are automatically ranked in the sequence plan as soon as they are RS 05-2 robot system with 5-fold drawer storage – adapted to a Hermle C 12 U machining center set up. The priority of machining can be adjusted at any time. And all of that with drag and drop plus optimum visualisation. further information: www.hermle.de World premiere at EMO 2021 The UNITED GRINDING Group, a manufacturer of precision machines for grinding, eroding, lasering, measuring, and combination machining, is presenting a revolutionary innovation at EMO 2021 in Milan: UNITED GRINDING C.O.R.E. – Customer Oriented REvolution. Each of the Group’s brands – MÄGERLE, BLOHM, JUNG, STUD- ER, SCHAUDT, MIKROSA, WALTER, EWAG and IRPD – will be on hand to see the innovation presented to the public on the first day of the trade fair (October 4, 2021 at noon local time). A milestone in development No details about C.O.R.E. are being divulged ahead of the official market launch. Stephan Nell, CEO of the UNITED GRINDING Group, is willing to reveal only this much: “We have invested unwaveringly in research and development both before and during the coronavirus pandemic, to secure the future – not just for us, but above all for our customers. And when we talk about the future, it is inseparably linked to digitalization today and with an increasing work simplification in production.” In this connection, C.O.R.E. is intended to put the focus back on people – and in a truly revolutionary way. The brand name says it all: C.O.R.E. – Customer Oriented REvolution. Inter-group project Experts from each of the Group’s three technology areas – surface and profile grinding, cylindrical grinding, and tool machining – worked within a joint team on this groundbreaking development. “This project reflects our bundled development expertise,” explains Christoph Plüss, CTO of the UNITED GRINDING Group. “Through C.O.R.E. we are laying the foundations for a new generation of machine tools to pave the way into the digital age.” The result is a world-first that encompasses all of the Group’s brands and machine types.
