How to load complex and bulky parts into CNC machine?

In machining processes such as deburring, drilling, milling, grinding, polishing, and turning, raw materials or semi-finished parts must be loaded into a CNC machine in a precise and repeatable manner before they can be processed. ​

These parts often arrive in bulk and in random orientations, especially in harsh industrial environments that are dirty, dusty, and with oil. Parts are often metallic, heavy, bulky and sharp. In most cases, these parts are loaded manually by an operator either directly on the CNC or on a conveyor first. The processing time is long, which means the operator needs to take care of many parallel tasks. ​

To ensure reliable and efficient automation, each part must be presented to the machine in a precise and repeatable position and orientation. This consistent presentation is essential for the robot or handling system to accurately pick and load the parts into the machining process, maintaining quality and minimizing downtime.

Asyril’s flexible feeding solutions, together with any robot, automate the singulation and loading of complex parts into CNC machines with the correct position and orientation.

Powered by Asycube, EYE+, and Asyfill, the solution ensures reliable handling of bulky parts in random orientations.

Manufacturers benefit from reduced manual intervention, improved machine utilization, and increased productivity through reliable automated loading.
