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.
