The challenge: 

Milling parts on the CNC machine at CyFa-Tech.ch Manufacturing Solutions was characterized by a monotonous and capacity-binding way of working. This monotony was stressful for employees and costing the company a lot of money. The aim was to automate the loading and unloading process of the CNC milling machine.

 

Process reliability:

Parts must be picked up and set down reliably and consistently

Repetition accuracy:

Parts must always be positioned in exactly the same place

No errors:

No technical faults may occur during loading and unloading

Efficiency:

Ideally, operation should be possible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including ghost shifts

The solution: Your benefits at a glance

With the support of Staveb Automation AG, a certified system partner of fruitcore robotics, the loading and unloading process was fully automated. Only the raw material has to be replenished by the employees.  

 

Customer testimonial

"With HORST, we have achieved a huge increase in efficiency. We now produce twice as many parts and have been able to significantly increase our turnover. The robot paid for itself after just three months, or after the first series of 16,000 parts."
