RoboTrex Compact

The Right Automation for Your Production

Not every automation solution is right for every production environment. RoboTrex Compact was developed specifically for applications where simple, cost-effective, and space-saving automation is the priority.

Product Details

The system is particularly well suited to the following situations:

  • If you want to use your machine tools more productively.
  • If your production facility has limited floor space.
  • If you want to automate small workpieces weighing up to 7 kg .
  • If you would like to automate without specialized robotics knowledge.
  • If you want to assign your employees to more value-added tasks.
  • If you want to put the automation system up and running quickly and easily.
System Setup

Three core technologies. One system.

RoboTrex Compact combines LANG's three core competencies in one integrated automation system. Their perfectly coordinated interaction enables easy commissioning, reliable processes, and maximum flexibility in automated production.

Workholding Technology

Two vise sizes featuring Makro•Grip® technology enable secure and repeatable workpiece clamping. The compact design ensures optimal accessibility and, as a result, efficient machining of a wide variety of workpieces.

Zero-Point Clamping System

The pneumatically actuated zero-point clamping system allows the robot to change the clamping devices automatically. With no media feed-through required in the machine tool, RoboTrex Compact is particularly easy to retrofit and integrate into both existing and new machining centers.

Automation System

A wide range of automation functions enables flexible adaptation to a variety of production tasks. From series production to the automated machining of different workpieces within a single magazine, RoboTrex Compact offers numerous options for cost-effective automation.

Success Stories

What our customers say about RoboTrex Compact.

I don’t think LANG could have made the RoboTrex Compact automation more simple and easy to operate. The system has taken an existing efficient piece of equipment on our shop floor to the next level by allowing us to run lights out and hands off. Output has increased dramatically thanks to this tiny but very versatile and powerful solution.

Frequently Asked Questions About the RoboTrex Compact

Which machine tools can be automated using RoboTrex Compact?

RoboTrex Compact can be combined with virtually any CNC milling machine. The only requirement is that the robot can reach the machine table. In the simplest case, a single M-code function is sufficient to connect the machine tool to the automation system. We would be happy to review the technical requirements of your machine together with you.

What types of workpieces can be automated using RoboTrex Compact?

RoboTrex Compact automates workpieces weighing up to 7 kg. With a fully loaded magazine, workpiece dimensions of up to 120 × 100 × 80 mm are possible with Makro•Grip® 77. With Makro•Grip® 46 Micro, workpieces up to 65 × 50 × 95 mm can be automated.

Can different workpieces also be machined automatically?

Yes. RoboTrex Compact offers a high degree of flexibility when automating workpieces of different sizes. By simply removing individual shelf rows, taller workpieces can also be automated. For wider components, magazine positions can be deliberately left empty to create additional space.

Do employees need robotics skills to use RoboTrex Compact?

No. RoboTrex Compact was specifically developed for manufacturing companies that do not employ robotics specialists. It is operated via intuitive software, allowing the system to be used safely after only a brief introduction. The focus is on simple processes and fast integration into everyday production.

How much work is involved in retrofitting a machine tool with RoboTrex Compact?

Very little. RoboTrex Compact is designed as a plug-and-play automation system. The system is delivered as a complete unit and can be connected to the machine tool with minimal integration effort. This means RoboTrex Compact is ready for operation within a short time, while machine downtime for installation is kept to a minimum.

Automation that grows with your needs.

If your production facility offers a little more floor space, RoboTrex is also an interesting alternative—with mobile automation trolleys for workpiece storage and the ability to automate larger and heavier workpieces.
