Loading and Unloading of a CNC Lathe - GBN Systems

The starting point and reason for the search for an automation solution were changing orders with different customer requirements approx. every 4 months. Accordingly, the desired robot solution should offer the possibility of flexible reassembling with changing applications.

The quick set-up and simple programming of the robot within a few minutes enabled even non-experts to reconfigure and reprogram the robot. Therefore, cycle times could be improved by quickly processing repetitive steps, which also made overnight automation possible.

Thanks to the Robco’s robotic solution, GBN System was able to not only focus on machine loading, but also on the finishing of the component.

Fast and flexible deployment:

Robco’s Modular Industrial Robots

Our all-in-one robot solution takes over a multitude of work steps in production. Thanks to the modular configuration, Robco robots can be assembled exactly according to the individual requirements and easily modified for various applications.

"Robco robots were the first robots that we could use without hesitation, because they can be flexibly adapted to our orders – thanks to the Robco modular system, we always have the appropriate robot at hand."

Use Cases & Technical Data

Our robots can be individually assembled with up to 8 modules. Depending on the configuration, the robot has a payload up to 20kg and reach a customizable range of up to 2m. The repeatability is 0.1mm and the velocity is 2m/s. Our robots are certified according to IP54 protection class and EN ISO 13849-1:2015.The application areas for Robco robots are mainly machine tending, pick & place, palletizing, or dispensing.
