CellManager, which requires the pallets to have an identification system, manages the entire robot cell, handling all necessary data automatically. The cell is controlled entirely from the screen.
• Starts the robot’s ID cycle.
• Manages the pallet ID codes and magazine positions.
• Displays the magazine content graphically.
• Creates priority lists.
• Automatically starts available jobs in the order of the priority list.
• Updates the information in the database with the status and machining times of individual orders.
Identification system
Whether you work with visual identification such as labels, or an electronic system with inductive readers and ID transponders, CellManager ensures the security of the process.
Chaotic magazine loading
On loading, the pallet is placed at the first available free magazine position.
CellManager Multi
Manages a robot cell consisting of one robot and more than one machine, regardless of the type and make of the machines.
Easy to change priorities
The order of priority of jobs can be changed while the machine is working.
Easy to insert new jobs
Finished workpieces can be lifted out of the magazine and new ones loaded into it, while the machine is working.
Manually loaded machines
Chaotic loading of a machine table with multiple chucks.
After manual scanning of the machine table, a job list is created in CellManager. The jobs are then done in the sequence in the job list – one program at a time.
• The job sequence can be changed
• Automatic monitoring
Robot-loaded machines
Chaotic loading of the magazines
After automatic scanning of the magazine, a job list is created in CellManager.The jobs are then done in the sequence in the job list – one program at a time.
• The job sequence can be changed
• Automatic monitoring
• The magazines can be lifted out and loaded while the machine is working.
Option – automatic electrode selection (AES)
Automatically chooses the best electrode for the machining operation. Used to limit the number of electrodes when producing identical workpieces. However, for this function it is necessary to make an estimate of the electrode wear with coarse, intermediate and fine machining.
You can, for instance, choose to “downgrade” the electrodes after the first bit. For the second bit you then use the first intermediate electrode for the coarse machining, the first fine electrode for the intermediate machining, and a new electrode for the fine machining.
Option – Cutting Tool Control (CTC)
This function checks that all cutting tools that are needed for the milling operatins are available before machining starts.
Option – RobotManager
Option for cells with industrial robot: CellManager handles communication between the various units of the cell, coordinates all activities, and monitors the status of every operation.
