Robotic CNC Machine Tending Cell
Machine Tending Robot
Infinite Engineering is a family owned business which prides itself on delivering the highest quality manufactured components on time every time.
With over 20 years’ experience in the manufacturing of precision machined parts Infinite represents one of Australia’s leading suppliers to the engineering sector.
In order to put their business in a positon to compete in the global market, Infinite Engineering invested in robotic technology to achieve the required manufacturing efficiencies.
The preliminary drive was to reduce the labour input into the process, but they also gained a sharp increase in output from the cell, with the robot now able to keep the machine running throughout the day.
The Fanuc R2000 robot was purchased second hand through Automation Solutions, and was integrated to the CNC lathe with the assistance of Complete CNC.
The robot operates with no external HMI or PLC, making a very low cost implementation with high ROI for the owners at Infinite Engineering.
The Fanuc R2000 165F robot is perfect for machine tending applications due to its large working envelope and high payload.
