Devprotek LVS-200C
High Speed Automatic Part Loader/Unloader for CNC Machines

This high speet part loader for CNC machines provides a fast load/unload cycle and easy operator use.

Features:

  • Fast Machine Loading Cycle - 3 Seconds Part Loading
    • Closed loop servo system for high resolution and fast travel
  • High Capacity - Up to 120 parts in queue on the Cleated Conveyor
    • Optional bulk or vibratory feeders for increased capacity
  • Small Footprint - Top Loading Mechanism
    • Leaves work area open for easy machine access and manual loading
    • Loader is outside of machining area away from coolant and chips
  • Quick Change Over - 10 minutes or less
    • PC windows software for easy part configuration setup
  • Easily retrofitted to most existing CNC Lathes and Milling Machines
    • Simple electrical interface connection with machine controller
  • Competitively Priced - Scalable for different requirements
    • Lower cost options for less demanding applications

Advantages:

  • High Speed
    • Robot is capable of loading parts in 3 seconds.
    • Servomotors with encoders provide a fast and reliable closed-loop system.
  • Small Footprint
    • This system is mounted on the top of the lathe with its own automatic access door.
    • Top mount system allows operator to have full access to the front door of the CNC. In contrast, front-loading robots must be moved to allow access.
  • Ease of Programming
    • Stand-alone controller with an Ethernet port allows for network capability and programming from your PC.
    • Easy to use PC software allows you to quickly configure new parts, without any ladder logic programming.
    • Programmable multiple positions allows for quick changeover (less than 10 minutes)
    • Storable part-configuration database for a quick selectable changeover, eliminating the need to adjust hard stops as with pneumatic robots.
