Large, medium and even small companies are asking themselves if automation is right for them.Here are some reasons why all companies should consider a reasonable level of automation.

Automation increases machine run timeWith automation, unproductive times such as breaks, other tasks and mainly the evening and night hours can be reduced. Most times, tasks and responsibilities can be restructured or even extended (e.g. immediate quality control of manufactured parts)

Automation raises production efficiencyBy increasing machining hours, production efficiency is raised. Nothing is as costly as an expensive machining centre that does not run. The goal of every business should be to utilise the maximum capacity of their machining centres.

Automation reduces costsWith automation, machines can run during the night and can utilise less expensive night electricity (where applicable). In addition, the company can save or reduce unproductive times, late or night shift but still keep production running without the presence of a machine operator.

Automation reduces costs per pieceThanks to the savings achieved through automated manufacturing and optimised productivity, the reduced costs per piece can result in more competitive pricing without sacrificing quality.

Automation increases your competitivenessReduced pricing while maintaining high quality and consistency allows you to remain competitive, even in the hard-fought international markets.

In closing, automated manufacturing is almost a must have for all machining companies today and in near future. The level and scope of the automation goal has to fit the company structure. Keeping this in mind, we have developed different automation solutions in order to satisfy the different requirements and needs of all of our customers.

Abstract

The right solution for all needs & requirements:

Can be retrofitted to almost all machine tools, the workpiece storage and handling system has a capacity of 60 pallets to run all night. The easy operating mode, high reliability and unbeatable initial costs complete this attractive automation package!

More information see page 6-9

Compact design and high storage capacity don't have to be a contradiction! Our new automation system proves this. The small footprint includes 20 pallets, which bridges the gap between the Eco•Tower 60 and the Eco•Compact 10. Plus the handling weight of 40 kg is superior to the other two systems.


The uncomplicated and economically priced introduction to the world of machine tool automation! This small and flexible assistant is perfect for small lot sizes and for workpieces with excess width. The open concept of the storage table allows the continuous loading of LANG vices, other fixtures and workpieces.

The Makro•Grip® automation vices are the ideal vices for your LANG automation system. The vices are best characterised with their excellent accessibility for 5-face machining. The Makro•Grip® can achieve highest holding power due to the patented Grip•Fix form-closure technology. This allows the workpiece to be clamped securely on just 3 mm material. The robust but light-weight steel base offers good handling possibilites and has an integrated zero-point adaptation on the rear side.

The right zero-point clamping system for your LANG auto-mation is the Quick•Point® automation base tower. The base tower combines the established Quick•Point® zero-point clamping system with a pneumatic clamping system, making it even more secure through its fail-safe operation. The base tower can be attached either to the machine tool with our Quick•Point® plates or directly to the machine table.
