TOOL MANAGEMENT Central tool logistic automation is a system for centrally delivering and managing cutting tools for CNC machines. It enables the use of small tool magazines, eliminates human errors and reduces capital investment in tools. Machine control integration enables a machine tool to start machining even if all the required tools are not in its magazine. Only the first tools to be used in the NC program must be loaded. Tool automation delivers the rest during machining.

Full tool life utilization
Share tools between CNC machines
The automated tool logistic system provides full tool life utilization. The tools are transported for maintenance at just the right time – not too early, not too late.
It’s possible to reduce the number of identical tools to help cut down the total amount of tools used, without sacrificing production flexibility. This is especially helpful with expensive, specialized cutting tools.
Larger amount of tools available If your production requires more tools than the number of spaces in the tool magazine, automated tool storage relieves your shop floor operators of repetitive tool carrying tasks. By equipping the machine tools with smaller tool magazines you also reduce investment costs.
Tool usage simulation Fastems MMS5 software simulates optimal work queues for your machine tools. This functionality also applies to the cutting tools, so with tool automation you can minimize the amount of tools needed and calculate precisely what will happen next. You don’t need to reserve all tools required for a specific job and machine tool at the beginning of a machining process.
Real time information of needed tools MMS5 tool management streamlines the flow of information. It eliminates paper work for tool difference listings or tool replacements needed for upcoming days. Plus you have full integration with the FMS control, including priorities and standardized interfaces with many presetting devices.
Extend your lights out production period When cutting tools are no longer a production bottleneck, you can extend your lights out production period even further.
GTS system has one robot which takes care of the tool storage and transfer of tools into machine tools. Tool storage is located above machine tools' tool magazines.

FMS-INTEGRATED ROBOT CELLS Robotic autoloading
Robotized machine tending
With robotic autoloading you can make your FMS capable of large-scale serial manufacturing in an effective way. By storing the materials in your FMS, you can automate your process from material management to ready parts. At the same time, the FMS control system minimizes the need to keep parts in stock and completes the needed parts just on time.
By adding a robotized machine tool tending cell into your FMS, you can integrate lathes and various other types of machines into your system. This automates the material flow and keeps your machines running.
Robotized deburring and finishing Robotics solution enables finishing, deburring, milling and heavy duty grinding applications. It ensures consistent quality and productivity, and improves work safety and ergonomics.

MANUFACTURING CELLS For medium and high volume production we provide efficient and reliable gantry and robot solutions. Optimally matched handling systems and material buffers enable continuous and reliable round-the-clock manufacturing for a wide range of work pieces.
Single pass manufacturing process
Integration on multiple levels Powerful Fastems software maximizes the performance of your manufacturing system with optimum control and transparency.
Clear access and space saving
Optimal material flow
The agile movement capabilities of a robot enable you to integrate multiple processes into a true, single-pass manufacturing cell – from raw material to ready-to-pack. We can integrate a wide range of additional processes you need: deburring, drilling, cleaning, marking, measuring and much more.
Unobstructed machine tool access makes setups and monitoring easy while reducing downtime. Loading from top saves valuable floor space.
Our extensive range of material buffering systems lets you choose a gantry solution that fits to your process flow precisely.

Robotic finishing cells
Right spindle type for the right process
Our automated solutions for grinding, polishing, deburring, brushing and more deliver perfect results, every time. Robotic finishing cells simply work continuously and reliably to produce the maximum number of precisely finished parts on each shift. The brilliant finish of your metal-cutting process.
Pneumatic spindles
Ergonomically better Finishing tasks are among manufacturing‘s most challenging, often performed in dusty conditions while in uncomfortable positions and using noisy, vibrating tools. Having robots perform these jobs frees your workers for more productive and less physically taxing activities.
Consistent quality Because industrial robots are highly repeatable and reliable, Fastems robotic solutions ensure that your 1,000th part is just as good as your first.
The best of both worlds The finishing or deburring process is always tailored for the application. That’s why Fastems offers both pneumatic and electric tooling for maximum process efficiency.
Features • Available process types: ”Tool-to-part” and
“Part-to-Tool” • Several material feeding options based on process type magazines, trays, conveyors, servo station • Readymade interface for FMS • Tool management system • Sound- or splashproof housing for maximum cell operation ergonomics
• Programmable tools compliance to
compensate for differences, for example: part castings • Each spindle typically has one tool • Wide selection of spindles available for different applications • Typically for applications where tool amount is moderate
Electric spindles
• One spindle can handle many tools • For applications requiring a large amount of tools or where new tool implementation is frequent • Good spindle power output • Traceability of control variables • Programmable rpm
Optional accessories
• Measuring probe for part referencing • Dust extraction systems • Machine vision for optical inspection • Force control systems • Robocoat for dusty application • Coolant system for wet processes • Quality control systems • Fire suppression systems • ATEX proof

MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS FOR HIGH MIX PRODUCTION The heart of the system is the Fastems control software. It enables parallel manufacturing of multiple orders while the system ensures that the production runs uninterrupted.
Management of resources
Easier production planning
The system control makes it easy to handle the various manufacturing resources needed. Missing resources are indicated, thus enabling trouble-free manufacturing.
Our control system makes is easy to plan the production for the integrated system. You have an overview of each order in the system and resources for them.
Optimizing output without losing flexibility
Integration of manufacturing processes
The system can adapt to changes in the manufacturing environment. This means, for example, that an order with missing resources does not stop the line completely, instead the next order is processed.
You can integrate many processes under one system. This helps, for example, to eliminate unnecessary storages and transfers between processes.
Extended unmanned periods can be achieved without increasing complexity to resource planning of the cell. By using automated storage system for material feeding you can reach unmanned production time of up to a weekend, for example.
Advanced software options combined with system hardware forms a true productivity solution for high mix manufacturing
28
29
MANUFACTURING LINES FOR HIGH VOLUME PRODUCTION Many components must be perfectly aligned with one another to keep material flowing properly. That’s why we develop the most effective interlinking solution for your automated production. We base the solution on batch size, the variety of work pieces, cycle time, available space and logistical considerations.
Output is everything
Optimal material flow
In high volume manufacturing the most important thing is constant, high quality output. This is achieved by paying attention to every detail to form the best solution for each customer's process.
Automated workflow and processes increase productivity and reduce costs by shortening lead times, eliminating extra transfers, and reducing work-in-progress (WIP).
8760 Service – world wide Fastems 8760 support is available 365 days around the clock – 8760 hours per year. Fastems is there for you.
Space savings Automating material movement between processes and eliminating storage of work-inprogress outside the interlinking system saves considerable factory floor space.
Complement your manufacturing line with robot cells for maximum added value (for example deburring, assembly, measuring etc.)
Bind manufacturing processes together with our interlinking solutions for maximum output.
