Automation
for everyone
Increase efficiency and reduce costs with flexible solutions.
Your production process is as individual as your company itself. That's why we offer you a wide range of automation solutions: From precise pallet and workpiece handling to hybrid solutions and advanced linear interlinking systems. You can rely on tried-and-tested HEDELIUS automation solutions from the MARATHON series or proven technologies from leading third-party providers. Our many years of experience in the automation of CNC machining centres make us a trustworthy partner for your individual project. We are at your side to successfully close your path to automation.
Robotics for beginners
A reliable partner and a user-friendly solution are essential for an uncomplicated entry into automated CNC machining. In cooperation with our partner RoboJob, we offer you a simple and effective complete solution consisting of a five-axis CNC machining centre and robot automation;
ACURA 50 + ROBOJOB Mill-Assist.
This beginner-friendly automation was specially developed for tooling and unloading small series and/or small workpieces. The automation has a 6-axis robot with a load capacity of 25 kg, which picks the workpieces from a fixed table and places them in the ACURA 50 5-axis machining centre. Depending on the available space, the ROBOJOB Mill-Assist can load the machine from the front or from the side.
Nearly unlimited capacity
One of our proven partners for the automation of CNC machining centres is BMO Automation BV from the Netherlands. Their latest automation solution, the BMO Infinity, gives customers maximum flexibility when expanding their workpiece storage.
BMO Infinity for ACURA and TILTENTA.
The robot cells in the Infinity series can accommodate an almost unlimited number of workpieces and pallets. This is made possible by flexibly divisible shelves and integrated height control for optimum utilisation of the shelf capacity. The workpieces are stored on grid trays. In order to be able to react very flexibly to small batch sizes, heavy parts or complex clamping situations, the Infinity solution has pallet locations for holding a wide variety of clamping devices. As a true multi-batch automation system, the robot first automatically inserts the required clamping device into the machine and then tools the device from the trays with the raw parts.
Scalable production cells
In order to optimally convert the available space into productivity, the trend is towards large pallet magazines and the networking of several machining centres. This allows different orders to be processed in parallel and lead times to be drastically reduced.
2 x ACURA 65 + Indumatik 200.
With a total of 76 pallet locations of 320 x 320 mm or 58 pallet locations of 400 x 400 mm with a transfer weight of 200 kg, this configuration from Indunorm ensures the efficient production of a wide range of workpieces. The two storage/retrieval stations are flexible in their arrangement and offer optimum adjustment to the spatial conditions. The integration of the job manager software for order management and prioritisation optimises the overall performance of the system.
2 x ACURA 85 + Indumatik 500.
With a total of 24 pallet locations measuring 500 x 500 mm with a transfer weight of 500 kg, the Indumatik 500 is the perfect solution for our ACURA 85 high-performance machining centres. The rotatable loading station is flexible in its arrangement and can be positioned according to spatial requirements. The integration of the job manager software for job management and prioritisation optimises the overall performance of the system.

In manufacturing companies that mainly produce small batch sizes, every minute of spindle time counts - or so the theory goes. In practice, however, the proportion of productive spindle time compared to working time is often less than 40 per cent. The search for tools, clamping devices and information, as well as set-up, tie up valuable resources and leave many operating companies far behind their potential. There are many ways to sustainably close flexibility - and thus performance - in production. But every manufacturing company is different. The trick is therefore to find your very own recipe for success.
Advancing automation has long since arrived in mechanical engineering and contract manufacturing - but many companies still face challenges, especially when it comes to small batch sizes. While large-scale production is already largely automated today, flexibility in smaller quantities, which are often the order of the day in contract manufacturing, poses a particular challenge. How can automation be made to pay off here too without presenting machine operators with insurmountable hurdles?
