BMO Automation
Pushing Potential into Performance
Thousands of expensive CNC machines have not yet been automated and idle for whole nights and weekends. BMO helps the CNC machining industry to turn this potential into performance. With a modular robot cell and advanced BMO software, spindle hours can be tripled without additional operators. BMO has focused on Multi Batch Automation since 2008. This means that BMO robots can produce several small batches unmanned. With the Iridium, Platinum and Titanium classes BMO offers Multi Batch Automation in every segment for each turning and milling machine. A week has 168 hours. How many spindle hours are you planning this week?

CNC operator looking for a job!
Hello, my name is Rob Ot and I am looking for work as a CNC operator. Most people think that robots like me are only good at large series, but I am a specialist in small series and single pieces. My colleagues describe me as a real go-getter.
You will never hear me complain about things like collective labour agreement, pension, air conditioning or the content of your Christmas package. I really hate Cup-a-Soup and producing unnecessary stock.
Availability: 168 hours / week
Salary indication: € 5 / hour
Can I strengthen your production?
Please contact me at +31 (0) 495 729 640.

INFINITY Platform
Next Generation CNC Factory Automation Platform
With the INFINITY Platform, BMO provides the modular building blocks with which machinists of today can build towards the autonomous factory of tomorrow. There are as yet no autonomous factories when it comes to machining. And not many companies will ever take this step in one go. The autonomous factory is therefore not a project but a continuous process which you work towards step by step. This makes it even more important that the investments a company makes in automation today can in the future still be deployed as modules in the autonomous factory. This is precisely the essence of the INFINITY Platform.
OPTIVICE
Optivice set-up time to zero
How many vices do you have in your machining system? And how much time does it cost your operators to each time configure all these vices for every small series? And what is the chance that this accidentally goes wrong at some point? What if you were able for the entire weekend to mill all the different series on the exact same vice? And what if that vice could automatically adjust itself to the dimensions of your product? Your operator would then not have to keep a lookout over all the different vices. This would give your operator more time in both his day and head to provide value to the machining process.
AUTONOMY
The time until your CNC machine stops
How long does it take for your CNC machine to stop? Watch out! It is often thought that autonomy depends on series size, but that is a misunderstanding. Your autonomy is in fact dependent on your type of automation. Do you opt for Single Batch or Multi Batch Automation?
Single Batch Automation
Set up one product and produce it unmanned
Autonomy = production time of the set up product
Multi Batch Automation
First set up several products and then produce unmanned
Autonomy = production time of all set up products together
BMO has focused on Multi Batch Automation since 2008. Our customers and BMO Precision Parts do it every day. So would you like to walk through your order book together? Then we will show you the effect of Multi Batch Automation on your specific situation.
