DMG MORI PRESENTS ROBO2GO AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS FOR PRODUCTIVE MULTI-MACHINE OPERATION

ITH regularly goes through new stages of evolution in production: early NC lathes, twin-spindle turning, 5-axis milling, turnmill technology and automation solutions. “We almost always find an optimal solution in the extensive DMG MORI machine portfolio – both where machines are concerned and on the automation side” claims Jörg Hohmann. ITH introduced automation in turning with the first Robo2Go on a CTX beta 800.

Robo2Go: Simple teach-in programming with predefined modules in < 15 min
There are now three Robo2Go’s that produce precision ITH components. Jörg Hohmann was particularly impressed with the simple teaching process of the latest robot generation via predefined program modules: “Its user-friendly operation minimizes setup times to less than 15 minutes so the automation can run unattended for long periods.” The Robo2Go is designed for chuck parts up to ø 170 mm and 250 mm in length and shaft parts of ø 150 × 950 mm maximum size. A guarding-free system with laser scanning of the working radius offers both the necessary safety as well as ergonomic access to the machine.

High-precision turning and sophisticated 6-sided complete machining
ITH produces threaded parts on its most recently installed CTX 2500 SY | 1250 (V6) – also with Robo2Go. The gain in productivity is dramatic, because the turning center is equipped with a counter-spindle, is extremely stable and has an 80-bar internal coolant supply. “This enables reliable and accurate machining of deep holes” explains Jörg Hohmann. Frank Hohmann highlights complete machining: “In this way we prevent the ”tourism of parts” with several machining steps on different machines.”




Healthy growth with productive manufacturing solutions
ITH has a vertical integration of over 90 percent. “This is the only way we can offer our customers such a high level of customization” explains Frank Hohmann. The brothers look optimistically to the future. We have our various customer sectors to thank for such optimism, says Jörg Hohmann: “We supply to relatively crisis- proof industries, together with which we intend to achieve healthy growth.” As a result, the company is continuously looking for ever more efficient manufacturing solutions in production in order to remain competitive.
