QUANTEC Machine Tending: Flexible automation solution for industry
The QUANTEC Machine Tending solution (QMT) is an innovative automation solution for machine loading and unloading as well as palletizing processes. In cooperation with Fanuc, the world's leading supplier of industrial robotics, QUANTEC integrates collaborative robots such as the CRX-20 and CRX-30 into a modular overall system. This solution combines powerful robotics with specially developed gripping technology, software integration and intuitive operability to make production processes more efficient and flexible. Thanks to the modular design, the solutions can be individually adapted to customer requirements. With 80% standardization and 20% customer-specific adaptation, efficient use is guaranteed without sacrificing flexible configuration options. This enables rapid implementation and economic scalability for companies in a wide range of industries.
Machine loading and unloading with collaborative robots
Automated machine loading is a key component of the QUANTEC solution. The CRX-20 robot takes over the loading and unloading of machines and thus optimizes the production flow. It uses specially developed gripping tools from OnRobot that are designed for collaborative operation. These ensure safe interaction between man and machine without the need for additional protective equipment. A key advantage of this solution is the intuitive control system: simple parameterization instead of programming allows the machine operator to enter variables such as gripping widths, weight and dimensions directly, while the system automatically calculates the appropriate motion sequences. This eliminates the need for a teach pendant, which considerably simplifies operation. This means that different workpieces can be fed and processed automatically without time-consuming reprogramming.
Palletizing solutions for efficient intralogistics
In addition to machine loading and unloading, QUANTEC also offers flexible palletizing systems based on Fanuc CRX-30 robots. These robots are capable of moving heavy loads, making them ideal for logistical processes in production. The solutions are scalable and can be adapted to specific requirements by integrating different grippers, conveyor systems and stacking algorithms. The intelligent control system enables quick adaptation to different palletizing schemes. A simple user interface allows different programs to be selected for different products and implemented without manual changeover. This reduces set-up times, increases efficiency and optimizes warehousing.
Cost-efficient automation with standardized solutions
QUANTEC Machine Tending systems are specially designed to make automation economical and accessible. The combination of proven standard hardware and customizable software achieves high cost efficiency. The investment costs for a QMT machine loading and unloading solution with the CRX-20 are between €85,000 and €90,000 including commissioning, training and CE certification. The palletizing solution with the CRX-30 ranges between €110,000 and €130,000, depending on the configuration. The final pricing depends on factors such as load capacity, working area and specific customer requirements. Thanks to the standardized, modular components, companies can benefit from shorter implementation times and reduced maintenance costs. The simple parameterization and intuitive operation enable quick integration into existing production lines without the need for extensive programming knowledge.
Conclusion: Future-proof automation for versatile applications
The QUANTEC Machine Tending solution offers flexible, economical and easy-to-use automation for production processes. It is suitable for both medium-sized companies and large industrial companies that want to make their production more efficient. Thanks to the intelligent control system, modular expandability and fast implementation, various applications can be realized - from metal and plastics processing to intralogistics. With this solution, companies can optimize their production processes, automate workflows and secure their long-term competitiveness.
