The target was to process a large number of different families of parts in different clamping processes with a high amount of tool changing but within one manufacturing network. Furthermore, a 3-shift production of the system is planned, whereas one shift in unmanned operation.
The new large-sized tool storage is the base for further optimisation in the production process and the minimisation of downtimes of the machining centre due to following factors:
