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 />

new construction for more<br />

possiBilities<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.”
