Since the Crossbar Robot is hung on a track, it can
cover distances of up to twelve meters between
press stations. Distances this large are mainly found
on older lines, where space was provided for an
unloading or turning station. This means that the
new Crossbar Robot can replace loading feeders,
unloading feeders and part orientation stations in
the gap between presses. This frees up more space
for maintenance and reduces the number of toolings
per gap from three to one. At the same time, it also
provides a significant boost in output. the robot arm and one for the horizontal drive.
This enhancement significantly increases the
robot’s range of motion, flexibility and output. The
maximum load capacity, including the tooling, is
90Â kilograms. Thanks to an innovative energy
management system with integrated energy recovery,
the new robot is 50% more energy-efficient than its
predecessor, the 3.0 model. For blank loaders and
Crossbar Robots, Schuler provides a wide range of
solutions for an automated tooling change that can
be performed fully automatically in just two minutes.
Crossbar Robot 4.0 increases flexibility and
output With its process data interface, the new Crossbar
Robot comes perfectly pre-equipped for Industry 4.0.
Thanks to its intelligent networkability, this robot
functions as an analysis tool that monitors processes
and provides information about any errors that may
occur.
The Crossbar Robot is based on a six-axis industrial
robot that was expanded by Schuler engineers to
include two additional axes: one for the hand of
