With our
workpiece automation R-C2

R-C2 the automation of the future

Between universal pallet handling and pure workpiece handling, the R-C2 robot-supported workpiece automation with the R-C2 clamping and gripping centric clamping vise offers a very practical system solution for batch sizes between 3 and 500 pieces. This is because it allows various workpieces to be machined completely from all 6 sides and fully automatically. Automation with the R-C2 not only combines clamping devices and pallets, but also reduces set-up and changeover times, ensures a high degree of flexibility of use, achieves a high output and requires little employee capacity.

“R-C2 is the next logical step in milling machine automation”

TOP 3 Advantages

Minimum working time on the automation

Chaotic production with all
6 sides is very well possible

Very high output and long machine runtime

Do your workpieces fit?

If your workpieces (max. 217 x 217 x 217 mm) can be clamped with the GRESSEL R-C2 vices, this opens up completely new possibilities for reducing the costs per workpiece.

Details about the R-C2 centering vises can be found in our catalogue.

Small batch sizeand unmannedproduction at night?

With an R-C2 automation, the operator can work extremely efficiently during the day without waiting time losses and build up work stock (run-in workpieces, blanks in the magazine, set-up tools) in the automation. This work stock is processed by the machine during the day and also unattended at night.

Great advantages with the R-C2 workpiece automation!

With the R-C2 system, we have succeeded in combining the advantages of workpiece direct loading and pallet automation.

  • in the magazine, the workpiece is gripped with the clamping vise and clamped
  • the clamp with the workpiece is loaded into the machine like
    a pallet into the zero-point clamping system

This achieves three effects:
✓ the machine produces significantly more workpieces
✓ the time required by the employee at the automation is reduced
✓ the set-up times are significantly minimized
