Automate the Mazak CV5-500 with RoboTrex – Easy setup for automated 5-axis machining
Automation without complexity: RoboTrex with the CV5-500
The Mazak CV5-500 is designed for simple and intuitive operation - and this is exactly where RoboTrex fits in. The automation follows the same principle: clear processes, few functions and operation that is easy to understand. It is not the individual workpiece that is automated, but the complete 5-axis vise including the clamped component. The workholding devices are prepared outside the machine and then automatically transferred from the trolley to the cnc machine by the FANUC industrial robot. This keeps the handling clear while standardizing the processes at the same time. The focus is on an easy introduction to automation: existing processes can be retained while RoboTrex supplements them in a targeted manner - without complex conversions or extensive training.
Advantages of the combination:
- Easy operation with clearly understandable functions
- Low training requirements - even without robotics knowledge
- Quick entry into automated production
Reduced operating effort in the ongoing machining process
In daily operation, recurring activities such as inserting, clamping or changing components tie up time, clamping or changing components take up valuable time. Especially with frequently changing orders, this leads to interruptions and increased effort for the operating personnel. RoboTrex automates these tasks. Clamping devices are prepared and then automatically inserted into the machining process without the need for manual intervention. This significantly reduces the amount of repetitive manual work. The operating personnel are relieved and can concentrate more on higher-level tasks, while the machine processes defined sequences independently.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Automated processing of orders without intervention in the ongoing process
- Shorter throughput times and therefore faster delivery times
- Consistent processes thanks to standardized clamping and changeover processes
- Less dependence on the operator during operation
Quickly productive without a long start-up phase
In practice, the entry into automated production often fails not because of the machine, but because of the complexity of implementation. Long implementation times, costly training and uncertain processes mean that automation solutions are not used consistently. With RoboTrex, the system is ready for use in a short time. Operation is deliberately kept simple and reduced to the essentials so that initial automated processes can be implemented quickly. Existing processes are retained and gradually expanded instead of being completely rebuilt. This means that automation does not become an additional project, but can be integrated directly into ongoing operations - with a quick transition from manual to automated production.
Why the combination of Mazak CV5-500 + RoboTrex is convincing
The Mazak CV5-500 is designed for simple and intuitive operation and therefore offers the ideal basis for entry into automated 5-axis production. In combination with RoboTrex, the result is a solution that takes up precisely these characteristics and enables automation without additional complexity. Instead of extensive adaptations or complex system introductions, the focus is on practical implementation: the existing processes remain in place and are expanded in a targeted manner. This allows automation to be integrated step by step and used directly during ongoing operations.
In summary:
- Easy entry into automated 5-axis production
- Intuitive operation without complex robotics knowledge
- Quick implementation without time-consuming restructuring
- Practical integration into existing production processes

Automating the Mazak CV5-500 - Frequently asked questions and answers
How much effort does it take to integrate the RoboTrex into the Mazak CV5-500?
The integration effort is deliberately kept to a minimum. The connection is made via a standardized interface so that no complex conversions to the machine are required. Existing processes can be retained and supplemented by automation without fundamentally changing ongoing operations.
How long does it take to install the automation?
The RoboTrex is usually installed on the Mazak CV5-500 within a few days. Machine downtime is kept to a minimum, so that production can be resumed quickly.
How much training is required for operation?
The training required is very low. Operation is designed in such a way that even employees without any knowledge of robotics can understand the system within a short time. In practice, one briefing is usually sufficient so that the operating personnel can work safely with the system after just a short time.
Do the operating personnel need special knowledge of robotics?
No, special knowledge of robotics is not required. The RoboTrex is designed so that it can be operated with just a few, clearly understandable functions. The focus is on simple and practical use in everyday production
How user-friendly is the RoboTrex in daily operation?
Operation is reduced to the essentials and is based on clear, recurring processes. As a result, handling remains clear even in daily operation. Recurring processes run automatically, while the operator only has to intervene when necessary.
