RoboTrex Compact

The Right Automation for Your Manufacturing Operations

Not every automation solution is suitable for every manufacturing operation. RoboTrex Compact was developed specifically for applications where simple, cost-effective, and space-saving automation is a priority.

Product Details

The system really shines in the following situations:

  • If you want to use your machine tools more productively.
  • If your production facility has limited floor space.
  • If you want to automate the processing of small workpieces weighing up to 7 kg .
  • If you would like to automate without specialized robotics knowledge.
  • If you want to assign your employees to more value-added tasks.
  • If you want to put the automation system up and running quickly and easily.
System Architecture

Three core technologies. One system.

RoboTrex Compact combines LANG's three core competencies into a seamless automation system. This perfectly coordinated interaction enables easy commissioning, reliable processes, and maximum flexibility in automated manufacturing.

Workpiece Clamping Technology

Two vise sizes featuring Makro•Grip® technology enable secure and repeatable workpiece clamping. The compact design ensures optimal accessibility and, as a result, efficient machining of a wide variety of workpieces.

Zero-Point Clamping Technology

The pneumatically actuated zero-point clamping system allows the robot to automatically change the clamping devices. Since it requires no media feed-through in the machine tool, RoboTrex Compact is particularly easy to retrofit and integrate into both existing and new machining centers.

Automation System

A wide range of automation functions allows for flexible adaptation to a variety of manufacturing tasks. From series production to the automated machining of various workpieces within a single magazine, RoboTrex Compact offers numerous options for cost-effective automation.

Success Stories

Here's what our customers have to say about the RoboTrex Compact.

I don't think LANG could have made the RoboTrex Compact Automation any simpler. The system has taken an already efficient machine in our production facility to the next level by enabling us to manufacture unmanned and without operator intervention. Thanks to this small but extremely versatile and powerful solution, our output has increased significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions About the RoboTrex Compact

Which machine tools can be automated using RoboTrex Compact?

RoboTrex Compact can be integrated with virtually any CNC milling machine. The only requirement is that the robot be able to reach the machine table. In the simplest case, a single M-code function is sufficient to connect the machine tool to the automation system. We would be happy to work with you to review the technical requirements of your machine.

What types of workpieces can be automated using RoboTrex Compact?

RoboTrex Compact automates workpieces weighing up to 7 kg. When the magazine is fully loaded, the Makro•Grip® 77 can handle workpieces up to 120 × 100 × 80 mm in size. With the Makro•Grip® 46 Micro, workpieces up to 65 × 50 × 95 mm can be handled automatically.

Can different workpieces also be machined automatically?

Yes. RoboTrex Compact offers a high degree of flexibility when automating workpieces of a wide variety of sizes. By simply removing individual rows of shelves, even taller workpieces can be processed automatically. For wider components, magazine slots can be left empty as needed to create additional space.

Do employees need robotics skills to use RoboTrex Compact?

Yes. RoboTrex Compact offers a high degree of flexibility when automating workpieces of a wide variety of sizes. By simply removing individual rows of shelves, even taller workpieces can be processed automatically. For wider components, magazine slots can be left empty as needed to create additional space.

How much work is involved in retrofitting a machine tool with RoboTrex Compact?

It's very simple. RoboTrex Compact is designed as a plug-and-play automation system. The system is delivered as a complete unit and can be connected to the machine tool with minimal integration effort. This means RoboTrex Compact is ready for use in no time, and the machine is only idle for a short period during installation.

Automation that grows with your needs.

If your production facility has a little more floor space, the RoboTrex is also an interesting alternative—featuring mobile automation carts as storage units and the ability to automate larger and heavier workpieces.
