The new vision system is continuously being improved. Its
effective recognition rate has recently been reduced by more than five seconds, making it a more attractive solution for shorter cycle time production situations. Its three bin picker robots can handle payloads of 0–5 kg, 5–20 kg, or 20–40 kg, from bins up to 1-m deep. In a factory, the robot can place parts on a machine, put them on a trans- port system, or deposit them in an organized storage bin. The company has also simplified the machine’s PC-based
software to make it easier to program changes. But also on the “menu” from Liebherr is a linear pallet load- ing system that can automatically tend up to six machines and increase spindle time to more than 90%. Its Soflex PCS cell controller software calculates production times, monitors tool life, optimizes production schedules, analyzes throughput, and more, making it suitable for lights-out operations. The rotary loading system is available in two models. The RLS 800 can transport parts up to 800 kg, with a height of up to 1100 mm (including the pallet) and a diameter of up to
800 mm. The RLS 1500 can transport parts up to 1500 kg, with a height of up to 1400 mm (including the pallet) and a diameter of up to 1300 mm.
