“DMG Mori currently offers its customers 150 different machine models in 42 product lines. We are now also in a position to automate almost all of our machines, thanks to our 52 automation solutions for workpiece and pallet handling,” DMG Mori president Dr.-Ing. Masahiko Mori says.

The company examples just a few solutions:

Robo2Go for the CLX, CTX and NLX machines is an innovative solution that offers a flexible automation layout allowing free access to the machine and an intelligent safety concept for human-machine collaboration where, with Robo2Go Vision, teach-in takes less than 10 minutes.

PH Cell automation can be connected to numerous DMG Mori machining centres and has a footprint of only 10.7 m². This space-saving automation solution enables autonomous manufacturing even in tight production areas. The pallet system is based on a modular design and offers a high degree of flexibility.

The WH3 automation system is ideal for the Milltap 700 and the DMP 70 vertical high speed machining centres. The WH Series of automation supports different technologies, including both lathes and milling machines, and can support workpiece sizes up to 500 by 500 by 500 mm. A combination of robots, grippers and shelf units is tailored to customer requirements and can easily be retrofitted to existing machines.

The RPS21 rotary pallet system is designed to automate the NHX 4000 3rd Generation, NHX 5000 3rd Generation and the NHX 5500 2nd Generation. The system has up to 21 pallet stations on three levels plus one workpiece set-up station. Rotary pallet storage offers outstanding space-saving and set-up capabilities and can hold more pallets per unit area than any other pallet pool system, making RPS the best solution for customers who have never thought of automation due to space restrictions.

Steve Finn, managing director of DMG Mori UK says: “Automation is a key part of any installation to get the best possible return on investment and the highest OEE levels. The above are just some of the solutions we can offer for both new and existing installations.”
