Automatic charging station with a rear material magazine

When cycle times per pallet are short, it makes sense to separate the material storage area from the machine pallet storage area. This ensures that the transport device in the workpiece storage area near the machine does not become a bottleneck in supplying the connected machines. A loading robot at the loading station serves as the link between the two storage areas. The result is an automation solution that can operate unmanned for extended periods—for example, over the weekend.
