Automation solutions from DMG Mori

By Bhalchandra Chorghade, Editor, CNCTimes.com

Technology expertise, machine and automation from a single source: DMG MORI presents current innovations and holistic technology solutions for the future of manufacturing on more than 2,000 square meters and with 22 high-tech machines as well as 10 automation solutions.

Automated manufacturing promises greater productivity, quality and safety – factors that promote sustainable competitiveness.

With the integration of hardware and software, DMG MORI is consistently gearing its entire product portfolio towards automation in machine tool manufacturing. The performance spectrum ranges from standard solutions with standardized modules (for measuring, marking or deburring, for example) to customized, fully integrated manufacturing systems. At AMB, DMG MORI will present a cross-section of its automation portfolio, including workpiece and pallet handlings, robot-based solutions and driverless transport systems, for example for tool supply.

The DMG MORI campaign "We love Automation" hits a nerve in many industries that are looking for more efficiency in times of rising costs: With holistic automation solutions from a single source, DMG MORI implements manufacturing systems that are optimally coordinated with each other. The goal is, on the one hand, uniform and integrated user interfaces that allow convenient operation. On the other hand, only reliable products certified by DMG MORI are used in the periphery. In addition, the machine tool manufacturer puts all manufacturing solutions through their paces so that customers can manufacture smoothly.

With the PH Cell Twin, DMG MORI is expanding its successful PH Cell 300 concept, which has been implemented many times, for a maximum of 40 pallets and pallet sizes from 300 mm to 500 mm. The consistent development of the successful, compact and modular concept is designed to flexibly automate two machining centers. Depending on the design of the storage unit, the PH Cell Twin offers space for up to 30 pallets and is compatible with various models of the DMU monoBLOCK, DMU H monoBLOCK and DMU eVo series as well as with the CMX U series. At AMB, it will be on display with two DMU 50 that are also compatible. Both the pallet handling itself and the second machine can be retrofitted.

PH Cell 300: Modular automation concept for up to 40 pallets

The compact PH Cell 300 offers maximum flexibility. The modular design allows an individual number of pallets in different sizes. It is compatible with a wide range of machining centers. For example, it will be on display at AMB on a DMU 65 monoBLOCK. With a footprint of 10.7 m², the PH Cell 300 is a space-saving automation solution with a transfer weight of up to 300 kg. In tight production spaces, the pallet system allows highly autonomous production.

NHX 5000 and RPS 14: Maximum machine utilization in horizontal machining

The proven combination of NHX horizontal machining centers and pallet handling ensures efficient production of a wide range of components. On the NHX 5000, the RPS 14 round pallet storage system provides space for 14 pallets, each measuring 500 x 500 mm. Setup in parallel with production maximizes the runtime of the horizontal machining center. Depending on the component, this combination also allows the use of clamping towers, enabling entire series to be manufactured productively and doing so in a minimized footprint with maximum benefit.

DMG MORI has successively expanded the Robo2Go family, so that flexible robot automation is now available for both lathes and milling machining centers. At AMB, DMG MORI will be demonstrating the Robo2Go Max on a CTX gamma 2000 TC. It enables handling of workpieces weighing up to 115 kg. Feeding and removal of the unmachined and finished parts is uncomplicated by means of a pallet or workpiece carriage. DMG MORI will also present the Robo2Go Milling on a DMU 40 eVo. This has a payload of 25 kg or 35 kg and can handle components with dimensions from 20 to 200 mm. Thanks to the lateral positioning, accessibility to the machine is fully maintained. A turning station for automated 6-sided complete machining can also be integrated.
