This video is a recording from one of CMZ's turning facilities in the recently renovated Precitor (Elorrio). Here you can see how Sergio, part of the team of operators who usually prepares one of our 12 CNC lathes, changes a TD-30-YS-800 + GL100 from one short run to another. You will see how the additional time for preparing the Robot and starting it in automatic mode is only 4 minutes and 29 seconds. In this case, the machine is making a part with diameter 171 mm and weight 9 kg and we prepare it to make another part, this time 236 mm in diameter and weighing 7 kg.
At CMZ we have a wide range of Gantry Loader: easy to prepare and fully customisable. One of the characteristics to highlight is the ease of programming and subsequent handling, thanks to our conversational programming system. This interface was developed by our engineers, and will enable you to automate both long and short runs.
The programming of the robot is very easy, The software minimises the amount of information the user has to introduce, making the cycle operate with just a few, readily available data inputs. This system shortens preparation time, so it is ideal for short batch runs.
Find out how to prepare your Gantry Robot in under 5 minutes in the following video.
Manufacturing processes usually require different type of machines to finish a component. In order to ease the movement between machines and ensure precision, clamping fixtures can be used. CMZ has developed an automated process to load components mounted in clamping fixtures in a CMZ TA series CNC…
This system is not limited to billets, CMZ manufacture gripper heads and workstockers both for billets and shafts. The combination of a barfeeder and Gantry Loader can be a very effective way to manage larger quantities of finished components. In this video, we show the process of a finished component…
Do you need to automate your production process to reduce idle time and improve yield? CMZ offers various possibilities for automation. The GL 20II Gantry Loader has been designed by CMZ to automate short and long batches and increase the productivity of the CNC lathe. The gripper heads with capacity…
A solution to automate the process of machining shafts in your CNC lathe. Our GL20II gantry loader system combined with the WS700 workstocker for shafts allows you to leave you machines running unmanned. You can have several parts in each line up to 700mm. Controlling the robot is very easy and you…
Our applications department can analyse in detail the process to be carried out and offer you a part study helping you to reduce cycle times.
