RS1 robot system automatic pallet and workpiece handling

HERMLE ITALIA
Pad. 11 stand E06

The RS 1 robot system is the complete combination cell for pallet and workpiece automation. This Hermle innovation delivers a convincing mix of flexibility and productivity: The rack storage concept provides for remarkably long autonomous runtimes, gripper and adapter changing is automatic, and the fully functional setup station allows for parallel setup of pallets and workpiece carriers during operation. This makes the RS 1 the right automation solution for many scenarios. But that’s not all. The decision: single or dual machine system. The RS 1 robot system is highly adaptable. It can be used with one machine or with two machines networked with each other for maximum output. Transitioning from one to two machining centres is also possible at a later time, as is the addition of a third rack module, cleaning plant, a measurement machine or a driverless transport system (DTS).

With an installation area of just 12 m2, the RS 1 robot system always offers free access to the working area of machines, regardless of whether one or two machining centres are docked.

Variable machine selection
The overarching RS 1 concept is compatible with a range of Hermle machining centres: C 12, C 22, C 250, C 32, C 400 or C 42. It makes no difference whether two identical or two different machines are networked with each other. For one machine, the automation is controlled with the Hermle Automation Control System (HACS) or with the SOFLEX manufacturing control system, for two machines always with SOFLEX.
The RS 1 is fully integrated into the Hermle software environment and is correspondingly easy to operate via the touch screen – in fact, like a single machine. There is hardly any need for manual intervention.
