Loading Haas Machine Tool

A FANUC M-10iA robot loads a Haas machine tool through an automated side door. Use of a powered side door maintains full operator access to the machine tool operator panel. A fixed camera and FANUC built-in iRVision allows the randomly placed parts to be accurately picked from the conveyor belt. Use of a dual part gripper allows the finished part pick-up and raw part loading time to occur quickly.

Key Technology Demonstrated

• Increased productivity. Robots increase machine production by up to 20% over traditional methods.
• Perform secondary operations. For longer machining times robot can perform deburring or guaging of finished parts.
• Improved Ergonomics. Robot can eliminate workman's compensation and operator safety issues with moving heavy parts.
• Increased Quality. Built-in vision can 100% inspect.
• Robot repeatability assures placement in chuck.
• Eliminate Fixtures. Vision can be used to find parts on belt conveyor(2D) or on pallet(3D).

• iRVision integrated Vision Package.
• Weighs only 130kg but carries a payload of 10kg.
• 2D vision cables included as a standard option.
• Highest axis speeds and repeatability in its class.
• Robot can be floor, angle, wall, or ceiling mounted.
• Error proofing on the fly.
