Computer Integrated Manufacturing and Handling System- CIM and Material Handling System

An overhead robot on a travel unit supplies two CNC machines with raw parts taken from a magazine.
The machined dimensions of the parts are checked in an inspection station before the parts are placed in a finished parts store.
Defined planning and control data is used to control various machines.
The relevant data is stored in a software program, and is processed by the control units of the individual machines.
