Rollomatic Smart Factory – Striving for operational excellence
Rollomatic is committed to helping you fully automate the production by accompanying the customers throughout the process. Maximizing performance, delivering superior machining quality, and guaranteeing dimensional repeatability on small and large production runs are Rollomatic’s priorities when it comes to developing autonomous machines. To achieve this, Rollomatic reduces set-up time by using automated assistance to enable the first part to be produced within tolerance, automates measurement in production, connects machines to their environment and creates a reliable network between production equipment, robots, and company’s management system. With the technologies developed by Rollomatic, combined with the know-how of EngRoTec Solutions GmbH, the goal of automating the entire production process can be achieved. At GrindingHub, Rollomatic will present a turnkey automated cell.
A world first for orthopedic applications
To meet the specific needs of the medical tool industry and orthopedic drills up to 500mm in length, Rollomatic has come up with a new solution that will be unveiled in Stuttgart as a world first.
Micro-tools solution
Rollomatic’s DNA is characterized by an unrivalled expertise in the manufacturing of micro-tools. From the outset, Rollomatic has innovated with CNC grinding machines and laser technologies to meet the needs of micro-tool manufacturers. In this field, the requirements in terms of surface finish and repeatability are very high. Rollomatic technology ensures production within dimensional tolerance of less than 0.003mm. From programming to machine preparation, including wheel selection and measurement, Rollomatic shares its expertise with the customers.
Efficiency and productivity with the lean process
Rollomatic puts its Lean process know-how to work in production technology by providing complete tool sharpening solutions, including blank preparation, sharpening, and clearance recovery in a single clamping operation.
Solutions for grinding cylindrical tools and non-round applications
Operations such as cylindrical grinding and blank preparation are all handled by Rollomatic machines, allowing to achieve dimensional tolerances and geometric accuracy of less than a few microns. Punch grinding and other non-round applications are achievable within tolerances of less than 0.002mm with Rollomatic’s patented SmartPunch peel grinding process, during which two grinding wheels run simultaneously.
Universal solution for special applications and resharpening
Strausak ONE, the most versatile ultra-compact machine on the market, will be demonstrating its vast possibilities for the production of inserts, special tools and resharpening, as well as its scalability to adapt to customers 'needs.
Programming to improve processes
Visitors at Grinding Hub can attend demonstrations of the latest innovations and features of VirtualGrindPro, ShapeSmartPro, and Smart Program Generator software on Rollomatic machines; and Numroto for Strausak models.
