At the upcoming EMO Hannover (September 18 – 23), the Dutch automation manufacturer Cellro will launch a cutting edge new module: the Fixture Exchange. A robot equipped with this module can now automatically change and store milling machine vises. This is a game-changer for machining companies that produce workpieces in varying shapes and sizes. Now, they can combine different series into one single production cycle – without the assistance of an operator. This cuts back significantly on time and costs.
Modular automation is highly versatile
The Fixture Exchange isn’t the first module launched by Cellro. The company holds a deeply rooted tradition in modular automation for the machining industry. Their robotic cells are engineered to be easily adjustable with hardware and software modules at any time. This high degree of flexibility allows companies to profit from automation for many years, regardless of changes in their future needs.
The Fixture Exchange has been developed specifically to increase the versatility of Cellro’s well-received Xcelerate automation system. Xcelerate is Cellro’s most accessible solution, resulting from its compact size, wide storage and all-round functional flexibility.
The Fixture Exchange extends Xcelerate’s flexibility even further. Where milling machine’s traditionally required the operator to manually change machine vises, this task can now be completely automated by the Xcelerate robot. Profitable automation is becoming viable for increasingly more machining companies, even ones that focus on small and varying series.
Get a demonstration on the Cellro booth (hall 012, booth C86)
At the Cellro booth, visitors can see the Fixture Exchange fully operational. The module will be integrated into an Xcelerate X20 system. In addition, Cellro brings along an additional Xcelerate X10 to demonstrate the system’s all-round flexibility for automating variable products with milling machines and lathes.
Visitors can find Cellro in hall 012 at booth C86.
