TA Series
The TA (turn-assist) series is an easy-to-operate robot cell integrated with Mazak’s Smooth CNC, ideal for small to medium lot sizes. With an automated robot arm for loading and unloading of workpieces, the TA is ideal for applications that require lights out unmanned running overnight or at weekends. Both the machine tool and the robot are controlled from the Mazak Smooth CNC, which provides a seamless interface and extremely fast set-up.

Gripper System
T
he number of workpieces that can be loaded depends on the diameter and length
| Ø x length (mm) | No. of pieces |
| 40 x 20 | 510 |
| 80 x 30 | 224 |
| 150 x 35 | 50 |
| 200 x 35 | 40 |
Guarding
- Guarding is minimal and features a steel and acrylic screen on two sides and by a SICK microScan3 Core Safety Laser Scanner on the other two sides
- This lack of conventional guarding coupled with an angled robot mounting base allows very easy and uncluttered access to the machine
- The TA and Machine combination are fully CE Marked by Mazak
Warning area - audible warning signal given if entered and robot slows to 10% of the programmed speed
Protect Area - the robot will stop immediately if entered
Graphical User Interface
GUI integrated into SmoothG controller
- Provides a seamless interface for the operator with the same look and feel
- Simple to use
- Parametric style entry of data
- Extremely fast set-up & programming (possible within 5 minutes)
- Unique TA series OEM automation package
- Reduced cost due to combined control system and power supply for both machine and robot
- Alternative retrofit automation solutions require separate robot controllers and cannot offer the same advantages
