MC Machinery (Elk Grove Village, IL) is offering on-site demos of the new ASTES4 High Speed ADVANCED, a new modular sorting system.
The new system is a solution for fabricators facing worker shortages and bottlenecks resulting from the increased productivity of higher-volume fiber lasers. The high-speed modular sorting solution maximizes the productivity and efficiency of downstream operations. The ASTES4 High Speed ADVANCED can be integrated with the SmartFlex RAPID automated sheet loader and a Mitsubishi fiber or CO2 laser.
The ASTES4 High Speed ADVANCED features a patented, integrated tool-changer head with six programmable tools; four sorting heads with a capacity of up to 220 pounds per head; Mitsubishi Drive components that allow communication between the control, servos, and drive system; and multiple customizable configurations.
The ASTES4 High Speed ADVANCED features multiple tools on each head, including a single suction cup tool, a magnet tool in two sizes, a multi-suction cup tool, a dual-oval suction cup tool, and an out-of-center tool for small or heavy parts requiring two lifting points.
