Automation of CNC lathes

CNC lathes automation solutions from modular automation

Today's price pressure and ever-increasing quality requirements in the production of CNC turned parts mean that many turned parts manufacturers are constantly automating their production processes. The standard automation systems for CNC turning machines and lathes from modular automation have been developed to maximise machine utilisation, thereby increasing productivity, reducing costs and ensuring the consistently high quality of turned part workpieces.

modular automation has developed standardised automation systems (palletising systems) for the automatic loading and unloading of lathes with integrated workpiece storage specifically for the automation of CNC lathes. Our palletising systems are designed for CNC manufacturing processes in the series and mass production of turned parts and precision turned parts in large series.

Advantages of automating CNC lathes and the reasons for profitable automated production

The automation of CNC lathes and automatic lathes or entire production centres with the help of modular automation palletising systems (palletisers, tray stackers, container stackers) offers a multitude of advantages, which we have compiled for you below:

All advantages in detail

Increase in turnover by increasing machine running times

Reduce labour and machine costs thanks to optimum machine utilisation

Increase profits with optimised CNC lathe utilisation and reduced costs

Maximum quality assurance for your CNC turned parts/workpieces

Process optimisation: Workpieces are positioned in the correct position for the next process

Our palletising systems can perform the following fully automated tasks when automating your CNC machine tools.

Handling workpieces
Palletising workpieces
Saving and buffering workpieces
Position-oriented depositing of workpieces
Automatic feeding of workpieces
Automatic receipt of workpieces
Automated loading and unloading of workpieces
Automated loading and unloading of workpieces
