Everyone knows automation is key to profitability. CNC Indexing’s AUTOLOAD Gantry Loading Systems are compatible with any CNC lathe and controller on the market today. AUTOLOAD gantry systems come in various sizes with single or twin arm gantries. Accessories include a servo driven B-axis on the gripper that can rotate 0-360° and was specifically designed for easy and fast loading of twin spindle lathes. All models come with a pneumatically operated gripper driven by a rotary cylinder. The gripper’s rotating angle is 180° (without a B-axis). For safety the loading area is guarded with either a light curtain or safety door. AUTOLOAD’s gantry systems are available in stocker or pallet style loading and unloading with optional inbound/outbound conveyor and flip over station.
