Absolute Machine Tools A+ Automation Team will co-exhibit the LoadMate Plus™ Machine Tending Robotics Cell with partner Mitsubishi Electric Automation (MEA) at IMTS 2022.
Designed and built as a joint project between MEA and Absolute Machine tools to fill the gap between collaborative robots and industrial robot automation cells, the Mitsubishi LoadMate Plus Machine Tending Robotics Cell is a compact heavy-duty portable robotic cell that can handle payloads up to 20 kg with reaches up to 1,388 mm. It can be easily integrated in one step to CNC machines using MEA's Direct Robot Control function.
Capable of loading, unloading and palletizing parts in any low-to-high volume mix application, the LoadMate Plus plug and play robotic cell offers the high strength of industrial robots in a safe, contained cell.
Severa Mitsubishi vertical robot models, including all RV07, RV-8, RV-13 and RV-20 series, have been tested and proven within the cell's enclosure. Its portability makes it easy to add an automation function to a variety of CNC applications increasing throughput and saving valuable time.
"Absolute Machine Tools is a Diamond Partner of Mitsubishi Electric Automation and co-creator of the LoadMate Plus, so it makes perfect sense to demonstrate our successful collaboration on a working CNC machine tool at IMTS 2022," said Courtney Ortner, Director of Marketing Absolute Machine Tools A+ Automation Team. "We invite people looking for something a little heavier than a collaborative robot without the complexity of an industrial robot, clunky caging, and lengthy conveyors to stop by the booth and take a look."
