Modular machining cell

OverviewAutonomous and highly flexible, GROB modular special-purpose machines are a further development of transfer lines. They are constructed modularly from standardized machining units and feature an autonomous supply concept that enables combination with G-modules to build hybrid manufacturing lines. Designed for precision and process adaptability.

Advantages

• Compact, modular architecture for flexible line design
• Autonomous units with integrated hydraulic/electrical cabinets and local power elements
• Can be combined with machining centers and automation solutions
• High level of standardization for precise, repeatable machining
• Optimized rigidity and dynamic performance
• Effective chip transport for MQL and wet machining
• Energy-efficient operation
• Scalable and flexible expandability
• Reduced retooling time
• Good accessibility for operation and preventive maintenance

Machining units

• Milling unit — for large-diameter milling and special milling tasks
• Broaching unit — for finishing operations and press-fit bearing seats in cast iron
• Multi-spindle & tapping unit — for short cycle times, high productivity and accuracy
• Brushing unit — for oil duct preparation
• Measuring unit — for high-precision measurement tasks
• Custom spindle unit — for camshaft, crankshaft and balance shaft bore machining, with support bearing and feed-out system

Options

• Clamping fixtures — conventional, hydraulic or electromechanical fixtures adapted to part and process requirements
• Decentralized supply equipment — each modular unit can include its own hydraulic and electrical cabinets and control system
• Automation — semi-automated or fully automated integration solutions for loading, handling and line control
