ROBOWORKER – The Specialist for Innovative
                                   Automation and Inspection Technology

                                   We are an expanding international company from the Lake Constance
                                   area, specializing in the development and supply of top quality, innova-
                                   tive automation and inspection systems.

                                   We mainly concentrate on the processing of high precision components,
                                   such as powder pressed parts or sintered components made of carbide,
                                   iron powder, ceramics and special material.

                                   For more than 25 years we have been offering tried and tested systems
                                   meeting nearly all of our customers’ requirements. We focus on press
                                   unloading systems, systems for green machining and inspection of cut-
                                   ting inserts. Re-palletizing and packaging lines for cutting inserts and
                                   handling systems for machine tools complete our portfolio.

                                   ROBOWORKER systems are notable not only due to their fast cycle times
                                   and high number of processable parts but also due to their modular
                                   design. ROBOWORKER delivers systems ready for operation for custo-
                                   mized applications. Depending on the customers’ needs we also supply
                                   our own applications which can be expanded with optional accessories.

                                   A sophisticated control system with configurable application software,
                                   made by ROBOWORKER, provides a simple and comfortable operation
                                   and guarantees user-friendly maintenance.

                                   Our technicians and service team serve our customers with professional
                                   advice and guidance concerning hotline, need for spare parts, trainings

                           RAG 2 Systems –
                           Flexible and Efficient Automation Systems

                           The RAG 2 automation systems for the lateral unloading of presses are
                           an ideal solution when a large number of sinter trays must be stored and
                           automatically processed. All systems are equipped with an RL 30/3 BG1
                           robot system which is mounted on the machine housing. Due to system
                           speeds of up to 35 strokes/min high production rates are achieved even
                           adding functions such as weighing or de-burring.

                            PAG 30 Systems –
                            Optimal Compact Solutions

                            ROBOWORKER provides two different concepts
                            • PAG 30 ND systems for the lateral removal out of powder presses
                              and
                            • PAG 30 systems for the retrofitting of existing mechanical presses.
                              An important factor here is that the pressed part has to be removed
                              from the front, although the space in front of the press needs to re-
                              main free in order to change the adapter. That’s why the PAG 30 is
                              in front of the press, but offset to one side.

Accessories – Gripping Technology

                                                    Gripping Technology for Any Pressed Part
      Rotating                                      The standard ROBOWORKER gripper portfolio consists of motorized va-
                                                    cuum/suction grippers, hole grippers and parallel grippers with additional
                                                    functions, such as rotating, turning or tilting. In addition to this, there
                                                    are special grippers available, such as double, twofold and manifold
                                                    grippers. This range has recently been extended with the addition of a
                                                    multi-axis gripper, capable of placing the parts in any position.

                                                    The grippers have an interface for suction cups, part specific suction
                                                    plates, silicon adapters (balloons), jaws and special insets. Standard
                                                    grippers also have an interface for a flange- mounted punch cleaner.
       Turning                                      Motorized rotary grippers are also equipped with a reference sensor
                                                    for the exact positioning of the part after the rotation process.

                                                    Motorized movements are freely programmable and are integrated auto-
                                                    matically into the robot’s movements. For example, the rotary function
                                                    can be used within the de-burring station to significantly increase the
                                                    de-burring results. ROBOWORKER balloon grippers may also be equipped
                                                    with special integrated de-burring nozzles.

                                                    ROBOWORKER offers a gripper adapter module to enable the use of both,

    Cleaning Program Module
    The cleaning program module allows the user to use product specific
    cleaning programs and parameterize them via the software interface.
    There are different options for creating a cleaning program – automatic
    or manual:

    1 Calculate simply
    • Automatic generation of cleaning program by entering the basic
      size of geometric shapes
2
    2 Calculate from ISO
    • Automatic generation of cleaning program by entering ISO
      or similar part sizes

    3 Line & Circle
    • For blanks that do not fit into the ISO range or if a manual set-up
      is preferred
    • Teach-in and saving of movement made by punch cleaner
      via handheld terminal

    4 Option NC
    • Option for NC programming, e. g. using the outline of the punch
3
    • Data entered at the USB interface of the handheld terminal
    • Not within the standard scope of the cleaning program module

    These methods of creating cleaning programs can be combined for either
    upper or lower punch. Cleaning repetitions and direction of the punch
    cleaner (clockwise or anti-clockwise) can also be individually programmed.

    For split punches the cleaning program can be individually adapted to
    each segment of the punch.
