When a customer has two turning or milling machines, which are able to automate, it is possible to connect these CNC machines to one BMO robot cell. In this example a combination can be seen between a BMO Platinum 50 connected to Hedelius Acura 65 and an Alzmetall GS 600. The compact milling machine of Hedelius can easily be loaded with a product or pallet thanks to the 50 kilogram robot.

BMO Automation is a supplier of total solutions and provided all equipment for this customer. A 4-fold zero-point clamping system with medium throughput, pallets with clamping blocks from the Schunk brand and a number of pallets for manual clamping was chosen. BMO has also automated the side door of the CNC machine.
