Automated workpiece clamping for batch size 1: Efficient production with our GRESSEL R-C2 Automation

In today’s manufacturing world, flexibility and efficiency are crucial, especially when it comes to the production of individual parts or small series. With our R-C2 workpiece automation system, we at GRESSEL AG offer an innovative solution that has been specially developed to meet these challenges.

The challenges of batch size 1 production

We know that the production of individual parts or small series poses particular challenges:

• High set-up times: Setting up the machines for each individual workpiece is time-consuming and cost-intensive.
• Quality assurance: Manual machining processes can lead to quality deviations.
• Cost-effectiveness: The cost-effective production of small series is often difficult, as conventional clamping techniques are designed for mass production.

Our solution: R-C2 workpiece automation

With our R-C2 automation, we offer an answer to these challenges. Our solution combines the advantages of pallet automation with direct loading by robots, which significantly reduces set-up times and ensures maximum flexibility.

The advantages of our R-C2 automation

1. Flexibility and adaptability: The R-C2 Automation enables the processing of workpieces with dimensions of up to 225 x 225 x 225 mm. This allows us to handle different workpieces efficiently without additional changeover times.
2. Reduced set-up times: Our R-C2 automation minimizes set-up time as it combines gripping and clamping in one system. With our R-C2 centric clamp, we grip, clamp and position workpieces directly from the magazine and insert them precisely into the machine.
3. Process reliability and quality: Thanks to integrated sensors and a consistent clamping force, we ensure a high level of repeat accuracy and monitor the clamping process in real time. In this way, we guarantee consistent quality and maximum process reliability.
4. 6-sided machining: With our patented 6-sided station, we offer the option of fully automated machining of workpieces on all six sides – without any manual intervention.

Our workpiece automation R-C2 is the future-oriented solution for production from batch size 1. At GRESSEL AG, we help our customers to minimize set-up times, increase process reliability and optimize the efficiency of their production processes. This enables them to produce even the smallest series efficiently and successfully – with our support and cutting-edge technology.
