Combo FMS - a New Flexible Manufacturing System by FINN-POWER

Combo FMSTM is an intermediate-level system between FINN-POWER's Flexible Manufacturing Cells and Night Train FMS®

Combo FMSTM is a compact solution for automating the manufacturing of high-quality sheet metal components. Its capacity for unmanned operation brings the break-even point of your investment much closer than one or two shift operation of manufacturing technology does.

Combo FMSTM is a perfect tool for order based, small lot manufacturing using a range of different materials, or different sizes of blank sheets for optimum economy in material consumption.

Due to versatile material handling capabilities, Combo FMSTM can operate as an automatic
raw sheet storage
buffer storage between two fabrication processes
skeleton handling system, including even a possibility or sorting according to material type
Flexible, automatic material flow

Three types of cassettes can be handled:
raw material cassettes
cassettes for EUR pallets (components can be removed from the storage stacked on EUR pallets)
cassettes for skeletons, which can be empied using a forklift or a crane
