Workpiece automation R-C2 - the next big step to manufacture even more efficiently with machining centres. The photo shows a Promro R-C2 system from our automation partner Promot Automation.
What are the arguments in favour of R-C2 workpiece automation for a normal job shop?
What you want in an automation:
- not having to buy e.g. 60 vises
- a mix of clamping technology - e.g. vises with jaw widths of 80 and 125 mm
- if possible also pallets in the system
- an automated system without an extra employee (little set-up and changeover time)
- a flexible automation that can be quickly retooled for a new workpiece
- a flexible vise
- various workpieces completely finished on all 6 sides, unmanned
- the ability to produce unmanned through the night or at weekends
- all this together for a manageable investment to start with
R-C2 Automation - most economical workpiece production:
- Vise clamping range from 0 - 226 mm → fully automatic
- Programmable clamping force up to 30 kN → fully automatic
- Vise change (jaw width 80 and 125 mm) → fully automatic
- Workpiece complete production on all 6 sides → fully automatic
- More machine spindle running times
- lower workpiece manufacturing costs
- No additional employees necessary
- Employees can work in day shifts - the R-C2 CNC automation runs automatically at night or on weekends

Completely finished production of various workpieces on all 6 sides. Possible with the CELLRO workpiece automation XCELERATE X20 / R-C2. Example at the customer Promatrix.
Here you can see the Promot system in operation.
AUTOMATE your processes as a producer, foreman, machinist, production manager and boss with our unmanned 6-sided automation. With a relatively small investment, you will achieve more productivity, relieved employees and satisfied customers. More successful production? Success comes AUTOMATICALLY!
Thinking about tomorrow today:
- Unplanned staff absences
- shortage of skilled workers
- increasing demands on employees
- short-term capacity fluctuations
- cheaper competitors - price pressure is increasing
- decreasing average batch sizes
- customers expect shorter delivery times
With the R-C2 CNC automation you get:
- chaotic production with batch size 1 possible
- minimum set-up and changeover times
- No robot knowledge necessary
Combination with pallet handling possible.
With the R-C2 module, heavy-duty coupling pins can be used to automate in the pallet. The ideal pallet size is 250 x 250 mm and the maximum pallet weight is 50 kg. You can find more information in our R-C2 flyer.
