A manufacturer based in remote Australia has invested in a John Hart automated machining cell for their new Mazak Integrex i-250H S multi-tasking machine, to enable extended unmanned production.
This manufacturer faced a dual challenge - an ongoing shortage of skilled labour in remote Australia, and the physical difficulties and dangers of handling large and heavy parts.
Enter the John Hart machining cell featuring an Agile Modular CNC automation system, the ultimate solution to both problems.
By pairing advanced robotics with flexible, easy-to-program software, the automated machining cell transforms machine loading from a labor-intensive constraint into a seamless, 24/7 operation.
The machining cell features is equipped with a Fanuc R-2000iD/165FH robot, machine loading the Mazak with parts weighing up to 50kg, and measuring up to 800mm in length.
Robot speed and reach are restricted and controlled through the Fanuc Dual Check Safety System (DCS).
The cell includes two standard Agile Modular pallet docks and pallets for part infeed.
The safety enclosure, includes part safety fence and part light curtains for better access and a more open architecture on the machine shop floor.
The Agile Modular system features the new Agile Modular common platform that incorporates the robot, control system, AgileGo! HMI and robot controller on a common fabricated base unit to create a more compact cell.
