Intelligent Autonomous Machine Tool Loading

The drive for the automation of machine tending applications has been incessant and has only increased as the pandemic has caused shock-waves across the industry in how we view labor. Many machining centers have entertained the thought of a robotic machine tending robot solution. However, the limitations of a specific product which can be standardized for all sizes of machined parts has yet to come to fruition.

Standardized Product:

The X-Cell-WB from Zeltwanger has brought the standardization of this particular application one step closer to reality. After successfully launching the product in Europe, Zeltwanger has brought a machine tending product which can be taught for new parts very simply by a machine operator at an end user without learning  code. The X-Cell-WB has brought forth a new era in machine tending without the limitations of only the ability to handle small parts. The X-Cell is fully scalable for large heavy parts up to 44 lbs all while maintaining safety without the necessity of safety fencing.

Ease of Use:

The most important feature of this product is the ease of use for setup for new products and small machine runs. Zeltwanger has created a machine interface which has boiled down a new product run program to be taught from a Graphical interface which guides the user through a new pick and place routine in mere minutes. This process can be taught to a novice operator due to the safety limitations of the robot which include soft limits on the robot's movement tailor-made for your specific machine ensuring that it cannot be interfere or crash during robot teaching mode. As a robot programmer, I found the interface to be simple and well thought out in contrast to anything that I have utilized in the past. A new product "recipe" is approached in a step by step guided manner much like a "graphical wizard" for software downloads. 

Unique High End Features:

Important features which make this product stand out from other machine tending products on the market include the following options:

• Fully Automatic Pre-Stamping

• • Delivers high retention force during processing

  • Automatic adjustment of stamping force

• IIoT Ready 

• Remote online Maintenance with camera

• Easily Maneuverable (can be moved easily with a forklift)

• Functions with any Brand Machine

• 

Watch it in Action!
