The system transports both pallets and vices from the setup station to the storage modules or the working area. The following components have all been specially configured for the HS flex hybrid \u2013 storage modules, setup station, gripper and adapter pallet. Further, the HS flex hybrid can be adapted to six different machine models and configured with either one or two storage modules.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1164\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm-1.jpg 1164w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm-1-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm-1-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm-1-149x84.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1164px) 100vw, 1164px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by HERMLE<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modifications to the standard system:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Table modification with media transfer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lockable setup station<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exchangeable gripper for base plates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>small and large vices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special storage module for even more storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The advantages again at a glance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Max. flexibility through the use of pallets and vices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Up to five times more capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retention of the popular setup strategy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intuitive operation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HACS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/metalworking\/20663_st3_cnc-machines\/\">HERMLE<\/a> Automation-Control-System \u2013 the intelligent order management system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be adapted to machine models C 12, C 22, C 32, C 42, C 250, C 400<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical setup that can be found in many production plants: The machining table is fitted with an adapter for raising the structure, thus creating more space for machining when the unit is swivelled. On the adapter, there is a vice and a workpiece \u2013 a standard setup for non-automated machines. The advantage of the HS flex hybrid, which can also handle vices, is that owners do not need to change this setup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerns about the complexity of this type of automation are unfounded, as the proven working method remains unchanged, and workpieces can still be clamped in vices. The key advantage of the HS flex hybrid is that this setup no longer needs to take place in the machine after it has come to a standstill. Setup now occurs at the HS flex hybrid setup station. The vices and workpieces are stored in racks on the HS flex hybrid, where an active gripper of the HS flex hybrid automatically loads the vices into the machine-using a straightforward pick-and-place method. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1040\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm2.jpg 1040w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm2-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm2-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm2-149x84.jpg 149w, https:\/\/www.expo21xx.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/herm2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1040px) 100vw, 1040px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by HERMLE<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This ensures that production continues without disruption. The perfect solution for both small-scale production (high level of variance and small batch sizes) and large-scale production (enabled by quick and easy setup during non-productive periods and increased capacity). Moreover, the system remains flexible for large and heavy components. The ideal solution for handling and machining components of any shape and size \u2013 simply, universally, flexibly and efficiently.
