AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

Various automation systems and software that meet the requirements for producing a wide variety of parts in small lot sizes with exceptional efficiency.

Specific application for collaborative robot operated by MAZATROL

1. Robot program creation

Connectable with machining program

When you select a work number, a program will be automatically generated.

Conversational programming

Setup the parameters of the collaborative robot and the workpiece.

2. Schedule
settings

Continuous machining of multiple workpieces

Input the number of workpieces to be processed. The automatic setup function allows for multi-product operation.

3. Automatic system operation

Operation monitoring

After placing the materials on the pallet, automatic operation begins. You can also check the operation status.

Smooth PMC is the software to perform schedule automatic operation/ control of FMS [PALLETECH SYSTEM] by MAZAK.
Thanks to real time simulation, production status up to a week in the future and tool resource check during automatic operation can be done for unmanned operation over extended periods of time.

► Smooth PMC

Smooth PMC generates production schedule.
Schedule and Operation Status can be checked during automatic operation

Real time simulation
Automatic operation for up to one week can be simulated. This is used to forecast the required tools, production output and machine loads.

Schedule
There are 2 scheduling methods (1: By pallet number 2: By part number for precise control) to meet production requirements.
Set production and one piece production flow can also be performed.

Result Display
Thanks to visual results display,operation status can be conveniently analyzed.

Home screen
Easy to understand display

Network connection
If connected to a network (prepared by user), system data are accessible on office PCs, tablets and smart phones.

Reliable PC operation
HDD data storage utilizes RAID to ensure high reliability. UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is also standard equipment.

Once the production schedule is input, operation will be performed automatically.
Production results, system utilization and other data can be checked on the MAZATROL Smooth CNC.

► Smooth MPP ( Compact multiple pallet stocker system )

The operation and management of the MPP is performed by the same software used by the Mazak FMS system, which is highly regarded worldwide for its ease of operation and high productivity. For convenient operation, Smooth MPP software is incorporated in the MAZATROL Smooth CNC. Intuitive operation thanks to touch panel. If connected to a network (prepared by user), system data are accessible on office PCs, tablets and smart phones.

The VARIAXIS i-300 AWC provides exceptional unmanned operation flexibility.

► VARIAXIS i-300AWC

Auto Work Changer （AWC)

The Auto Work Changer (AWC) loads /unloads the work holders to / from the stocker and machining area. After the workpiece is setup at the loading station,the work holder is moved to the stocker by the high speed loader. The work holder is then moved to the machine table for machining according to the production schedule.

Flexible work stocker capacity

The capacity of the stocker can be expanded from 32 work holders to 40 work holders after initial installation of the AWC in response to increased production requirements.

Smooth AWC

Smooth AWC software is designed for unmanned operation with resource check and easily understood instructions for operator

Resource check ensures complete system setup

Resource check

Display instructions when workpiece material not setup on workholder, required machining program not in magazine and missing required tool or insufficient tool life.

The remaining tool life of tools in the magazine are checked every 30 minutes according to the latest machining data to determine that there is sufficient tool life to perform production over the next 16 hours.

Comparison of multi pallet changer and VARIAXIS i-300 AWC

Easy scheduling by Part No.
Resource check for unmanned operation
Easily understood instructions for material/program/ tool preparation
Can add new part to already registered schedule during operation - resource checking will be effective for new part as well.
Interface to an external computer available upon request
