WEBER automation
Loading system HS-4-1000
High profitability even with a wide range of variants and small batch sizes
Autonomous handling cell for machine loading
Our autonomous loading cell offers an efficient and precise solution for the automatic loading of your production line. Intelligent image processing in combination with robot and control technology ensure a completely teach-free and process-optimized feeding of your workpieces, which guarantees consistent and smooth further processing of the workpieces. Our technology is unique and patented by us (patent number: 10 2019 118 917). It enables the automated transfer of workpieces and improves production efficiency. (EN102019118917B4)

Options
A roller conveyor at the pallet feeder can serve as an additional buffer space for empty or loaded pallets and – in combination with a bumper – prevents damage, from industrial trucks, for example. The integration of a pallet station facilitates completely unmanned production and is available from WEBER in different versions with any number of stations. Loading and unloading with driverless transport systems is also possible with this option, n order to achieve a high degree of automation in business logistics.
Tools
With the large number of different robot tools in combination with our automated tool changer, a wide variety of different workpiece geometries can be handled. In addition, a suitable grip point is calculated automatically without any intervention by the operator. Another advantage is the adjustment options on the various tools. For example, the vacuum tools can be equipped with a wide variety of suction cups or the distance between the dual suction cups can be adapted to the respective workpiece.
Automatic tool changer
Various robot tools in combination with our automatic tool changer ensure maximum flexibility when handling different workpiece geometries.
The intelligent control of the changing system ensures automatic adaptation to the robot tool that is suitable for the workpiece.
Complete process automation through a combination of loading and unloading solution
In addition to our autonomous loading solution, we also offer an autonomous unloading solution. By combining both systems, the entire sanding process of your sanding machine is fully automated.
Our advanced system picks up the parts to be processed, performs a turning and thickness measurement of the workpieces if necessary and then positions them precisely on your WEBER sanding machine.
The positioning of the workpieces on the feed table ensures even wear of the abrasives and maximum service life. The processed workpieces are then placed on a Euro pallet, completely free of teach and space-optimized. This not only optimizes your production processes, but also saves valuable time and resources.
Put your trust in our expertise and benefit from a sophisticated solution that combines efficiency and quality - all from a single source.
FAQ
Often asked questions
Yes, operation can be carried out by completely unskilled employees after a short briefing. This takes place at the customer's premises as part of our
commissioning. A short phase of production support to clarify any unanswered questions rounds off the instruction and commissioning.
The cells are equipped with a protective fence, which serves as both process and system protection. The system is tested by the CE representative and a CE declaration of conformity is subsequently issued.
This is of course possible. This solution can be used in conjunction with all systems in which workpieces have to be fed to a machine. This means that the solution can be used completely independently of material and industry.
The high profitability of this solution, even for small batch sizes and a high number of workpiece variants. Another major added value is the easy and intuitive operability due to the increasing shortage of skilled workers.
