Vacuum clamping unit Robocup

machining

System for automated clamping of slabs on the work tables of contouring machines The vacuum pods used to clamp slabs during machining processes do not require flying flexible hoses because they interface with a special table equipped with smart valves that are controlled in accordance with the machine cycle. Automatic and safe With automatic positioning, the operator is certain of the absence of errors because the vacuum pods are allocated with decimal precision according to the layout planned before entering the machine. Trustworthy Workpiece clamping is guaranteed through time thanks to the absence of exposed flexible air lines. The vacuum is applied via steel pipes located under the structure. The large cross section of the pipes makes them impervious to fouling. Integration into robot islands Robocup is particularly suitable for use with robotic work cells. In addition to loading and unloading workpieces, the robots can also position the vacuum pods freely, without being obstructed by flexible vacuum lines. With this system, vacuum pods can be installed or removed freely, depending on the work table. Efficient Robocup allows use of the new vacuum pods that can be retracted during the machine cycle and are particularly suitable for use when making sink cutouts with polished edge without interrupting the machine cycle to unload the offcut. Breton's special vacuum pods do not require additional energy or signals in order to retract within the program cycle, because they are retracted to the low position and then raised again by means of an actuator on the spindle.
