SMARTSHOP SERIES CNC
Smartshop IV Auto Load The Laguna Smartshop 4 CNC Auto Load system was designed to streamline the material handling requirements associated with Nested-Based Manufacturing. This greatly increases machine productivity while still requiring only a single machine operator.The system is designed to accompany a Laguna 4’ x 8’ CNC Machining Center specially developed for this application. The Laguna CNC Autoloader consists of in-feed, out-feed, and material movement components. A rear Scissor-Lift is used for positioning the stack of material sheets. The lift includes an automatic height sensor that maintains the correct height of the top sheet of material. After the sheet is loaded onto the machine table, the material stack is automatically raised for the next cycle. For loading, the machine gantry traverses to the material stack, and, using the Suction Cup load system, lifts the top sheet of material. As the material is loaded onto the machine table, parts from the previous sheet are “pushed” to the Out-Feed conveyor. A dust collector pickup follows the pusher to remove any residual dust or chips from the previous machining operation. Once the new sheet has been loaded onto the table, alignment fences and pins automatically position the new panel correctly for machining. The machine operator starts the next program, then stands at the end of the conveyor table and removes the completed parts from the previous sheet. A special part sensor is included at the end of the conveyor to permit the machine operator to remove the parts efficiently from the conveyor table. The Laguna CNC Autoloader includes the rear Scissor-Lift, the Suction Cup load system, the Material Alignment system, the front Conveyor Table, and the Down-Draft and Pusher vacuum pickups. • 12 HP HSD spindle. • 3000 IPM Rapid Traverse Y and X • Osai Open Industrial Controller • TSK High Precision Linear Guides • Rotary Tool Changer 8 Position Mounted on Gantry for Extra Fast Tool Change • Sandwich Vacuum Table with Butterfly Valve 6 Individual Zones • Includes Italian made 5x5 Vertical Boring Block. • Planetary Gear Reducing on All Axes • 12" Gantry Clearance • All Steel Gantry • Pod Ready Table • C-Axis Ready
