Lang Technovation says its Haubex is a flexible and cost-effective automation solution for small batches from batch size 2 that transforms the tool magazine into an automation system. The heart of the system is a workholding hood, which serves as a carrier system for the clamping device and the workpiece blank and is stored in the tool magazine.
The system is said to make it easy to increase efficiency in manufacturing by productively filling breaks, creating additional time windows for alternative, value-adding activities or extending working hours by enabling the machine tool to continue unmanned production after the end of work.
