Examples of machine conversion
Expansion of spectrum of parts
In this example, a machine was adapted to handle another, larger feed part with a different transfer position. This was done with a system for changing the sorting tracks. An additional sorting track tailored to the new part was added as an exchangeable component, without this altering the layout of the machine as a whole or the transfer position. The benefits:
- Great flexibility for range of parts
- Short tooling times for feed part changes

Conversion and expansion of machine
The process of converting this plant was a complex one involving the replacement of a number of machine components. An additional function was also added. The original gantry handling was replaced with a robotic system and a manual placement feature was added so that individual feed parts could be fed directly into the machining center. The benefits:
- More flexible part removal with robot technology
- Exact positioning of feed parts
- Space savings with more compact layout

Improvement of operating controls
In this example, the key-operated machine controls were replaced with a new touch-panel model. The benefits:
- Improved user guidance
- Simpler operation
- Larger display
