What is HAUBEX?

HAUBEX is a flexible and cost-effective automation solution for small batches from batch size 2 that transforms the tool magazine into an automation system. The heart of HAUBEX is a workholding hood, which serves as a carrier system for the clamping device and the workpiece blank and is stored in the tool magazine.

What is HAUBEX used for?

HAUBEX makes it easy to increase efficiency in your manufacturing by productively filling breaks, creating additional time windows for alternative, value-adding activities or extending working hours by allowing the machine tool to continue unmanned production after the end of work.

In joint cooperation, Erst Maschinenbau and LANG Technik present a patented system with which every machine tool can manufacture automatically without an additional feeding unit or robot - innovative. patented. unique.

How to use HAUBEX

In just a few steps you can turn
your tool magazine into an automation system

Workpiece clamping

Workpiece blanks with dimensions of approx. 80 x 75 x 70 mm can be clamped in the HAUBEX Makro•Grip® 5-Axis Vise by form-fit. With a maximum tightening torque of 60 Nm, the 5-Axis Vise achieves holding forces of up to 14,000 N. Thanks to the defined form-fit between the pre-stamped workpiece and the jaw serration, the Makro•Grip® technology guarantees absolute process reliability and repeatability.

Equipping the workholding hood

The workholding hood can be equipped in several ways. If the workholding hood is placed in a tool setting device, the 5-Axis Vise with the workpiece blank can be inserted overhead. Alternatively, the workholding hood can be slipped over the 5-Axis Vise at a set-up station, in each case by a 45° snap-in function.

Measuring and program sequence

Measuring the z-height on the tool setting device and entering it in the program. Exemplary NC programs for setting up the automatic vise exchange can be downloaded from our website.

Vise storage

The workholding hood equipped with the clamping device and workpiece blank is placed in the tool magazine like a common tool by the operator. Alternatively, the vise and workpiece blank can be placed into the zero-point clamping system and picked up by the workholding hood already inserted in the tool magazine.

Clamping mechanism

The workholding hood places the 5-Axis Vise into the zero-point clamping system and locks it by a 90° closing movement. Alternatively, the zero-point device can be actuated with a clamping lever during manual operation without HAUBEX.

Cleaning

After the machining process and prior to the automatic removal through the workholding hood, we recommend cleaning the machine interior and all relevant interfaces with the Clean•Tec chip fan.

Erfolgsgeschichten

Start your own success story with HAUBEX. This is what our customers say:

Thanks to our many years of consistently positive experience with LANG workholding systems, we considered HAUBEX to give us more flexibility in production. With HAUBEX, we wanted to open up the possibility of producing small series unmanned and automating regularly recurring work. We currently produce up to 6 hours on our 5-axis machine during the day, while the machine operator can take care of other tasks during this time. After work, the machine runs for another 6 hours. We also use HAUBEX on a lesser-used 3-axis machine, enabling us to prefabricate regularly required parts with consistently high quality and much lower personnel and machine costs. It has turned out that HAUBEX harmonizes very well with all our control systems.
