Now with added automation

Now incorporating a handling robot and workpiece storage option, the enhanced Chiron DZ16W has been designed for the productive exchange of blank and finished-part pallets during machine operation in series production. This makes it possible to machine a large number of workpieces in very short cycle times.

Utilising a six-axis robot to handle workpieces on the DZ16W, a variety of standardised options support operators in interpreting and implementing project-specific requirements. The new machining centre and automation combination are available with drawer storage, palletiser or a workpiece conveyor belt, depending upon the individual customer requirements.

With a large rotating door that makes the machine working area very easy to access, the automation cell can also be moved for setup and maintenance work - it can also be retrofitted to existing machines. The flexibility of the VariocellUno automation unit also makes it available for integration with the STAMA MC531 range of machine tools from the Chiron Group.
