Automation with uniLoad
For machine types S31 and S33 with center distances of 650 mm (25.6") and 1000 mm (39.4"), a loading solution based on a linear portal cell with two parallel grippers is offered. The loading system is suitable for shafts up to a part length of 650 mm (25.6"), a part diameter of max. 260 mm (10.2"), and for chuck parts up to a part length of 100 mm (3.94") and a part diameter of max. 100 mm (3.94"). The loading system thus covers a large spectrum of the parts manufactured on these machines. Parts are supplied via a standardized pallet system. The base module’s enclosure, which is adapted to the machine design and equipped with a loading hatch as standard, allows for safe and clean operation of the system.
