Spindles for machining with robots
Spindle unit
For use with robots, the spindles are specially designed to meet the high requirements for weight and the lowest possible number of different operating media. The optionally available spindle with the ISO 9409-1 standardized robot interface is a further advantage of WEISS spindles in this area.
Robots
The Autonox robot is a specialist for machining tasks in the milling sector.
The robot mechanics in this area were specially developed for applications requiring maximum rigidity, excellent vibration damping, and maximum precision. The 6-axis kinematics (6DoF) are characterized by a particularly robust design: Axes 2, 3, and 5 are usually supported on both sides, which significantly increases structural rigidity.
For use in demanding environments, selected models are additionally protected against abrasive dust, liquids, and other influences. They can be pressurized with sealing air to further increase their service life. Media lines for the end effector can be routed safely and space-savingly within the robot structure. Optionally, secondary encoders can be installed directly on the gears – for even more precise position feedback.
The articulated-arm robot articc.mtr6-2407-100kg (AT_00033-SE01) deserves special mention:
Developed in close collaboration with Fraunhofer IFAM and Siemens, this model sets new standards in rigidity and machining quality. The robot even masters the milling of tempered steel with impressive precision – regardless of the tool position (TCP). The result: consistently high machining quality, maximum process reliability, and maximum efficiency.
