ALD - Autoloading Cell
ALD - Autoloading Cell
Automate Your FMS Loading Tasks
ALD is the perfect solution if your FMS has turned labor-heavy, i.e. your operators need to be there constantly loading the machining pallets OR you would need a significant pallet storage extension to match with your unmanned production needs. ALD loads new workpieces into your machining pallets. Material can come from your FMS or from an external storage – where the ready parts will be delivered as well. For further benefits, ALD can include additional operations such as finishing, deburring and marking.
The Best Automated Loading in the Market
The resource monitoring capability, predictive scheduling and quick introduction of new parts make Fastems ALD a superior solution for automated loading. Here are the features that make your FMS + ALD work together flawlessly:
Control software: ALD is added in your MMS control software as part of your FMS. You can control everything with a single software.
Raw material management: Each loading operation includes material check, and any material shortage is informed to the operators in advance.
Part location: MMS manages part instances in the pallet enabling parametrical programming and quick introduction of the new parts.
Loading task scheduling: MMS commands the gripper change and material logistics operations start already before the pallet arrives. Faster loading cycle!
Error handling: Retry and rewind/forward of cell operations and easier troubleshooting on possible error situations. Remote diagnostics available.
Traceability: MMS offers full traceability for your FMS and the integrated ALD, including all devices inside the cell.
