Erowa Technology Inc. highlights its Robot Compact 150 as a new addition to the company’s automation portfolio. The automation solution offers a wide range of functions as it is well-suited for flexible loading of up to two production machines of all processing technologies — from milling to EDM. The ERC 150 offers magazine capacity with a small footprint while maintaining a transfer weight of up to 150 kg.
The optional pull-out magazine levels ensure convenient loading and unloading of the workpiece carriers directly into the magazine. Utilizing the Erowa EWIS chip identification system, in combination with the presence sensor, the operator is afforded a quick overview of the loading of all magazine locations, which significantly increases process reliability and efficiency.
The ERC 150 also offers an ergonomic loading station for heavy workpiecs. The optional loading station can be integrated to save space. It enables the setup of large and heavy palletized workpieces at an ergonomic height while the robot is operational. An indexing system enables convenient setup (4 × 90-degree rotation) and locks the pallet automatically when it engages. It also ensures that the pallets do not end up misaligned in the magazine.
The magazine capacity of the Robot Compact 150 is flexible and can be expanded considerably. The magazine levels can be individually adjusted depending on the workpiece size and enable flexible and efficient use of the space available in the unit. Options such as a third rack magazine or an additional rotary magazine offer solutions for every production environment. The device is capable of handling workpieces of different sizes and heights - from small (70 x 70 mm) Erowa ITS electrode holders to large MTS 400 pallets and part heights of up to 400 mm.
With a footprint of 4.7 square meters and a transfer weight of up to 150 kg, the Robot Compact 150 offers an extra-long reach of the X-axis. Two independent X-axis drives enable fast magazine handling and a large magazine capacity with an X-axis travel of 1,458 mm. The space-saving gripper trays and the innovative Gripper+ technology (sensor system) ensure maximum flexibility and process reliability.
