Discover the next level of productivity
Experience the benefits of simplified automation with the SYIL R1 Machine Tending System. A complete automation solution that is quick to install and easy to operate from your SINUMERIK 828D. The R1 removes manual and repetitive tasks from your CNC operations by automating the loading and unloading process.
Built with KUKA's reliable 6-axis robot, the SYIL R1 Machine Tending System is the perfect solution for high-mix, low-volume tasks.
Now you can spend your time growing your business instead of doing repetitive tasks!
Why choose SYIL automated machine tending?
The R1 Machine Tending System is a practical and accessible solution for small job shops looking to automate their machine tending processes, improve efficiency, and reduce reliance on manual labor.
Let us sum up the key benefits of the SYIL R1 Machine Tending Cell:
- Integration: Siemens' SINUMERIK 828 CNC and KUKA robots are seamlessly integrated, ensuring a unified control system.
- Simplified Operation: Operators can program and control both the CNC machine and the robot using a single interface, eliminating the need for separate robot programming pendants.
- Familiar Programming: The system uses G-code programming and robot teach-in functions, so users familiar with CNC machines will easily adapt.
- Simplified Automation: The R1 system simplifies automation for small job shops by offering a pre-packaged solution that can be installed quickly (in a day) and requires basic engineering skills.
- Compact and Portable: The R1 system's compact, portable design is its most impressive feature.
- SYIL offers turn-key solutions
- Pallet drawers etc.
- Just ask!
SYIL R1 - What's inside this pre-packaged solution?
The R1 cell is designed to automate repetitive tasks associated with machine tending, such as loading and unloading parts into CNC machines. The robot autonomously retrieves parts from the flat table, loads them into the machine, removes the finished part, and places it on the flat table again, or on any other outfeed mechanism.
The R1 package includes:
- Compact frame, with a flat table for handling materials
- KUKA robot arm
- robot tooling
- additional workholding and dual gripper options available
- the cell is prepared for plug-and-play integration with any SYIL Siemens machine
- auto door (if R1 is purchased together with a SYIL machine)
KUKA robot arm
Reliable small industrial 6-axis robot with a maximum of 6.7 kg payload.
Siemens SINUMERIK
An integrated automation solution for job shops, allowing for seamless control of both CNC machines and KUKA robots from a single interface.
SCHUNK
Pneumatic clamping force block.
Dual gripper
Used if the finished part having a different shape than the raw material.
Auto door
Custom-engineered auto-door mounted on the side door of your SYIL machine.
Digital twin
Expand your R1 with a digital twin to simulate and program machining and tending operations without needing physical access to the machine.
SYIL R1 Compatibility
The SYIL R1 works with any new SYIL machine with a Siemens SINUMERIK 828D controller.
Requirements are:
- SYIL with Sinumerik 828D PPU2x0.5 hardware
- Auto side door installed at SYIL factory (recommended to buy SYIL Machine + R1 together)
