Wether you are entering the world of automation by adding inexpensive workpiece handling with a gripper with spindle interface or eliminate setup time by using a robot easily training for a multitude of applications: Handling Systems by Toyoda can help reducing production time and costs.
The solution on the righthand side shows a Handling-System for Vertical Machining Centres.
The smart Spindle Gripper - developed by Schunk - has been awarded the Industy Award 2008 of the 'Initiative Mittelstand'. The Product has proved itself through its high utility value and innovative content and integrates itself perfectly into Toyoda's Machining Centres.
