Trolleys are prepared off-line without interrupting the machining cycle. Vises don't even have to be removed from the trolley to be equipped with workpieces.

Trolleys are exchanged within just a few seconds.

Training is kept to a minimum thanks to a pre-adjusted and pre-programmed robot with a simple and user-friendly control. Trolleys can be equipped with vises in various ways, from single-part to batch production.

Trolleys are not bound to a specific Robo Trex, but usable throughout the entire production area. For quality control or other tasks, trolleys can be removed even during operation. An easy and unrestriced access to all vises is guaranteed.

Patented, angled mounting of vises ensures maximum utilization of space and best accessibility when exchanging workpieces.

Actuation of the zero-point system can be done either mechanically (RoboTrex 52) or pneumatically (RoboTrex 52 and 96). Various gripper options ensure utmost flexibility.

The first and last vise position can be selected manually, thus limiting the are of the vises to be picked up. Once the stop mark has been reached, the operator can decide whether the automatic sequence should be continued after this position or whether it should be finally aborted. This state can be used e.g. to carry out service tasks on the machine or quality controls on the manufactured parts when the machine tool is empty and the robot is in sleep mode.

A new function makes it possible to define individual trolley equipping patterns and allows a deselection of certain vise positions or even entire rows. This means that taller or wider workpieces can be automated with RoboTrex without having to use a custommade trolley. The function also includes the option of assigning the selected assembly pattern to one or more trolley spots.

A new interface enables an automated single-part production with RoboTrex. An indiviual NC program can be assigned to each vise position on the trolley. This requires a corresponding automation interface on the part of the machine tool. The processing of the parts on the trolley can, if necessary, take place depending on their priority, which means that a desired sequence is possible. If parts have the same priority, processing is done according to the position number on the automation trolley.

Benefits of RoboTrex

over other palletizing systems

With the LANG system, vise and pallet build a compact unit. This results in high space savings in the machine, as well as a high storage capacity of the entire automation system on a small footprint

Compact vise (without additional pallet) grips workpieces which can substantially exceed the vise’s volume, whereas competing systems usually use big pallets (e.g. 400 x 400 mm) to clamp relatively small workpieces

There is no additional vise-pallet interface, which has a positive effect on stability and manufacturing accuracy

Thanks to simple communication between automation and machine tool, the installation of the RoboTrex system, which is delivered in a ready-to-operate state, is very simple and hardly time-consuming. As a result, downtimes of the machine tool can be avoided almost completely

Automation trolleys are equipped with vises off-line and location-independently. Within just a few seconds the automation system is fed with fresh trolleys and ready to machine a new batch

One-touch operation gives the operator access to the entire storage. The accessibility to each vise point is guaranteed. This allows immediate (quality) control of the finished parts even during operation

over part handling systems

RoboTrex comes with a single gripper, no matter which workpiece size or shape, no adaptation of the gripper is required for different workpieces

Thanks to the Makro•Grip® stamping technology, many compact vises can be stored on the smallest possible footprint. At the same time, the stamping technology guarantees maximum process reliability in milling

RoboTrex uses the same storage medium for all workpieces, which makes the system universally applicable even with high vertical integration

The automatic (un-)loading is independent of the milled contour, since the Makro•Grip® 5-Axis Vise is the handling interface. No problems with bulky parts

Thanks to the accuracy of the zero-point clamping system and the defined gripping contour of the Makro•Grip®, a quick and easy reproduction of the clamping situation is possible if workpieces have to be re-clamped for any necessary reworking

For manual non-automated manufacturing, the Makro•Grip® 5-Axis Vise can be used at any time in other machines, which maintains flexibility in production at all times

Product overview

客户评价 1：RoboTrex 自动化系统是我们首次投资机器人解决方案。然而，将其集成到现有生产体系中非常简单，我们也很快开始实践无人化生产。LANG Technik 以及其波罗的海地区经销商 MTC 为我们提供了非常专业、高效的客户服务。他们以客户需求为导向的服务方式，使这次技术升级过程变得非常顺利。

Tanel Joost, Equa ÖU, Tartu Estland

One of the main reasons for RoboTrex was how easy it is to use. It does not require a Profibus and is limited to the most necessary communication with the CNC machine. We now have some additional automation trolleys with Makro•Grip® and Avanti vises. It allows us to pre-equip a trolley offline which is very convenient and to change-over to a different workpiece type within the shortest time possible. It also means that smaller quantities can also be produced with this type of automation. Our positive experience with the first two systems prompted us to now integrate the third RoboTrex into our production.

Albrecht Schmid, Lindauer Dornier, 88129 Lindau

客户评价 3：自动化系统“免维护”的特点非常重要，也为我们带来了巨大价值。尤其是在过去一年受到 COVID-19 影响、全球经济受到冲击的情况下，这一点体现得更加明显。得益于这项投资，我们受到的影响远低于没有 RoboTrex 自动化系统时可能面临的情况。一台高品质加工中心与 RoboTrex 自动化系统的组合，是公司有史以来最成功的投资之一。

Jonas Sivertsen, Induform AS, Levanger Norwegen

客户评价 4：过去，在我们两人操作的生产模式下，为了满足紧急交付需求，经常需要工作到深夜。如今，通过使用 RoboTrex 对其中一台机床进行自动化改造，我们能够更加高效地利用现有产能，提高整体生产效率。RoboTrex 非常适合我们的产品类型，因为我们的产品主要由尺寸较小的铝合金零部件组成。除了系统本身的功能表现之外，LANG 快速且高效的服务也给我们留下了深刻印象。技术人员能够在最短时间内完成现场调整，我们对双方沟通效率和服务质量都非常满意。

Georg Spiel, Clemens Spiel Präzisionsmechanik, 83052 Bruckmühl

客户评价 5：通过采用 RoboTrex 自动化系统，我们获得了大量额外加工时间。在部分情况下，我们的加工中心可以实现超过 200 小时连续运行而无需停机。目前，在我们的五轴加工区域内，7 台设备中已有 6 台采用 LANG 自动化系统，其中所有 RoboTrex 系统均配置 4 台料车。这意味着我们目前拥有相当规模的自动化夹持能力，总计约 600 台虎钳。借助 Makro•Grip® 的形状配合夹持技术，我们经常能够挑战工件尺寸加工能力的极限。
