Th e RPC (Robotized Production Cell) series<br />
of robot cells enables companies to increase<br />
the utilization rate of existing machinery with<br />
a small investment.<br />
RPC-G is a modular robot cell designed<br />
for the loading and unloading of workpieces to<br />
various CNC machines and especially lathes.<br />
“With this cell you can easily cope with<br />
large variations in production volumes and<br />
with the readily available options you can<br />
adapt it to other applications, including workpiece<br />
fi nishing and gauging, says Ari Lylynoja,<br />
product manager for RPC-20G.<br />
“Th e product consists of a single transferable<br />
unit that enables fast installation and, if<br />
necessary, easy relocation of the system,” he<br />
continues.<br />

Th e updated RPC-20G has been designed<br />
with a new and narrower construction,<br />

which reduces the required fl oor space and<br />
minimizes the risk of transportation damage.<br />
With its new improved construction, RPC-<br />
20G allows for easy integration to large turning-milling<br />
centers.<br />
Th e new version also off ers a wider selection<br />
of options, including automatic tool<br />
change and a deburring brushing station, as<br />
well as a machine vision system.<br />
automate with minimum effort<br />
With this robot cell both new and existing<br />
machines can be automated with minimum<br />
eff ort. Th e gantry concept provides good<br />
accessibility to the machine tool in manual<br />
mode, as well as easy implementation of diverse<br />
material feed designs that can be geared<br />

“Th e RPC further allows for quick and<br />
fl exible adaptation to today’s rapidly changing<br />
production requirements, as well as offering<br />
the operators more freedom for item<br />
handling.”
