MULTI-MACHINE OPERATION.
Link several machining centers or processes with the Indumatik. There are solutions that link wire erosion machines, drying and measuring stations, for example. The Indumatik can be used not only for workpiece pallets, but also as a tool storage system. The flexible adaptation to the customer's spatial conditions should be emphasized.
PALLET HANDLING.
Workpieces are clamped on pallets and stored and retrieved with the pallet in the machining center. The flexible production system is ideal for small quantities or heavy handling weights and makes it possible to automate almost all clamping systems.
PARTS HANDLING.
The pallet is not required for parts handling. The workpiece or finished part is fed directly into the machining center using a gripper, and this type of automatic machine feed is recommended for large quantities with low weight.
FAQ - Your questions, our answers
What is multi-machine operation with indumatics?
Multi-machine operation enables several machining centres or different technologies such as milling machines, wire erosion machines or measuring stations to be linked together and operated by an automated system.
What are the advantages of multi-machine operation?
It increases efficiency, reduces unproductive downtime and enables unattended production, especially at night and at weekends. Production capacities can also be optimally utilised.
Which Indumatik systems are suitable for multi-machine operation?
Systems such as the Indumatik VL 40, R 165, 500 R and 1500 L are specially designed for the flexible connection of multiple machines. They can combine pallet and workpiece handling as well as different technologies.
How flexible are the Indumatik solutions?
The systems have a modular design and can be customised to meet specific requirements by adding extensions such as floor trolleys or additional pallet spaces. This enables simple scaling for future requirements.
What types of workpieces can be handled?
Indumatik systems can handle workpieces weighing between 8 and 1500 kg. They are suitable for both small and large batch sizes and offer solutions for both light and heavy workpieces.
How are the Indumatik systems controlled?
They are controlled via intuitive user interfaces such as touchscreens or master computers. The systems are also manufacturer-independent and can be integrated into existing machine control systems.
What expansion options are available?
The extensions include longer floor trolleys, additional pallet spaces and gripper options such as parallel grippers or zero-point grippers. These customisations increase the flexibility of the production cells.
