News May 2007 Solon, Ohio...Bardons & Oliver, manufacturer of CNC turning systems and tube and bar cut-off equipment for over 100 years, introduces a new automated robot for the unloading process on CNC machines. This optional robot unloader dramatically increases the efficiency of the unloading process. After the part is cutoff and discharged, a lifting mechanism singulates and positions the part so that it can be unloaded by the robot arm. The robot utilizes a strong magnet to lift parts and can be programmed to tilt the part to dump any coolant prior to stacking. The robot can then stack the part in a bundle frame or move the part to the next operation. With the ability to swing 180 degrees, the robot can even service two machines by swinging back and forth, thereby increasing efficiency even further. To see a video showing how the robot works or for more information on the automated unloading process and other CNC turning products, contact Bardons & Oliver or visit www.bardonsoliver.com.
