REM told manufacturingtalk.com that this is particularly useful for the production of small parts on 5-axis milling, grinding, CMM and EDM machine tools.
Unattended operation, at night and weekend, is assured with production autonomy of up to 40h (with an assumed work piece cycle time of 15 min).
Erowa Robot Compact not only operates on extremely little floor space but provides a means of competing with lower wage economies for the manufacture of small series parts.
