Experience = Safety for our customers |
|
|
|
 |
Already in 1996, Röders installed the first automated machine cells. These are still in operation today. |
|
|
Over 100 automated cells have been installed by Röders worldwide, some with up to 7 machines in one cell. |
|
|
Numerous variants have been realised with different handling systems and machines. |
|
|
The interfaces between the machines and handling devices are standardised and allow real data exchange. In case of error, the cause is immediately displayed. This way, malfunctions are quickly remedied, even in complex systems. |
|
|
Röders' long-standing and varied experience guarantees the highest process safety and system reliability. |
|
|
Röders consistently uses modularly extendable solutions, which are open and flexible in all directions. The customer can freely choose the machines and technology which are optimal for his applications. This means investment security for the future as well. |
|
|
|
 |
| |
Even older machines can be automated

Röders service profile in automation |
|
|
|
|
The main elements for automation are machines, handling and software for controlling the sequences, managing the jobs, optimising the machine utilisation, etc. Röders covers the complete scope of services for this. |
|
|
Completely automated cells are completely realised by Röders and are efficiently supported. |
|
|
As opposed to other providers, Röders recommends not mixing different machining technologies in one cell. Especially with regard to the operation requirements of such systems and service friendliness, automation which is separated according to technology is easier to control. The operating costs are then considerably lower. |
|
|
Connection to higher-ordered databases or PPS systems available. |
|
|
Chip identification available for all solutions. |
|
|
Central tool management and optimised use of tools in one cell by Röders own software ==> Cost reduction for tools. |
|
|
Automatic transfer of workpieces to other cells, e.g. eroding cells. |
|
|
Additional functions, such as automatic workpiece cleaning in the cell, can be realized. |
|
|
Step-by-step set-up and extension of automation is recommended. |

Handling solutions for automation |
|
|
|
|
Cost-efficient and reliable handling devices from Röders available for single or multi-machine automation. |
|
|
For especially high standards, Röders installs robots, which are either stationary or on rails, and integrates them with machines to form one cell. |
|
|
The integration of foreign machines is possible, e.g. measuring machines. |
|
|
As opposed to other providers, however, Röders recommends not mixing different machining technologies in one cell. Especially with regard to the operation requirements of such systems and service friendliness, automation which is separated according to technology is easier to control. The operating costs are then considerably lower. |
|
|
For companies, who would like to automate only one single machine at the start, Röders offers the very simply structured and cost-effective handling devices RC1 and RC2. |
|
|
When expanding the capacity, the RC1 or RC2 can be exchanged for multi-machine automation solutions. Röders can take back the RC1 or RC2. |

Functionalities of the job / cell management for automation |
|
|
|
|
Extensive self-developed software for job/cell management for multi-machine cells. |
|
|
Utilisation optimisation of the individual machines in one cell. |
|
|
Specification of the machining sequence for the various machines of a cell. |
|
|
Clear display of machining progress. |
|
|
Simple definition of priorities, job blocking and releasing. |
|
|
Chip identification and automatic allocation of the machining programs / jobs. |
|
|
Connection to higher-order databases or PPS systems for the automatic acceptance and allocation of machining jobs for the individual workpieces is possible, as well as the automatic transfer of zero points, measuring results, machining times, etc. Interfaces to the various databases and PPS systems are available. |
|
|
Automatic part flow – The magazines are divided into different areas: raw part area, intermediate area, finished part area, etc. Depending on the machining progress, the workpieces wander through the individual areas, from the raw part area to the finished part area. This way, the machining state can be seen just based on the workpiece storage place. In the case of standardised raw part types, advance identification and allocation to the jobs by hand is therefore no longer required. The machining program automatically calls the desired raw part type via the handling system. Identification occurs with the actual workpiece via the chip on the pallet the first time they are loaded in the machine. |

Functionalities for optimised tool use in automation |
|
|
|
|
Central tool management for the optimised use of machining tools in one cell. |
|
|
Standardisation of the used tool types possible ==> Very simple supplying of cells with tools. |
|
|
Central tool database ==> One-time input of tool geometries. |
|
|
Central common tool magazine. All tools in the cell are commonly available to all machines Several machines share the same sister tools. |
|
|
Extra wear area - The worn tools are stored in a special area in the central tool magazine and only need to be exchanged. It is not necessary to print out lists or look at what's on the computer. |
|
|
Tool cache functionality – The local tool changer on the machine only contains the frequently needed tools and those which are required for the current machining task. |
|
|
Based on the automatic preview, the handling system loads the required tools in the local tool changers of the machines during machining and unloads those which are no longer needed or worn. |
|
|
Savings of large tool changers on the machines and savings in the number of total tools which are to be kept ready in a cell, since all tools from the central magazine of a cell are available for all machines at all times. |
|
|
Very simple operation – Only the tools in the central magazine have to be replaced, since the local machine tool changers are automatically loaded and unloaded by the handling system. |
