the incorporation of machines in the automation system which was till date impossible because of the working area and the cab’ s characteristics. For example, the operator’ s area has been expanded to include direct-loading vertical five-axle machining centres. In the current project, the modular design of the RLS series allows a combination of different interference diameters in the shelves and additionally increased storage space with a turret in a |

The special characteristics of the PHS Pro include the“ front access” option. This is essential in machining centres in which the design only allows operator intervention at the front side. Front access is designed such that a cordoned off safety area allows the

New class: PHS Allround
Liebherr specially developed the compact class PHS Allround for universal users.
It will allow a large group of users to enter the world of flexible production in combination with 4- and 5-axis machining centres. The new modular concept in three weight classes for loads up to three tons is extremely flexible and can be individually configured and expanded. This corresponds to pallet sizes of 500 x 500 millimetres to 1000 x 1000 millimetres. Users can thus introduce flexible production systems with manageable investment and expand them when necessary.

single system. For the customer, it is important that the system has two set-up stations, despite the tight space available.
For all Liebherr pallet handling systems( RLS, PHS Pro and PHS Allround), there will be a new cell control in the market soon. Simple operation will be the main priority. The new graphically-guided interface concentrates functions on the main computer in a user-friendly manner, and if required also allows full production control. This includes resource planning, cutting tools and NC data management. Furthermore, there are also interfaces to the ERP systems.
Further standardization of the important set-up stations and the introduction of the modular concept means that functions, such as motor-

The development of the PHS Allround strictly followed the modular concept. In other words, the customer is able to combine preconfigured modules as needed to meet his requirements: the storage locations can be arranged in a circular pattern at the ends with one or more machines and front access. Investments can be spread over different expansion stages. It is possible to start with one or two machines and increase this number to five.
