Would you like to optimize the manufacturing processes of your DMG MORI machine, maximize spindle times and thus further increase your competitiveness? Discover the next level of CNC manufacturing - with automation from SHERPA Robotics. The innovative robot systems for DMG MORI machines transform your existing systems into ultra-modern production centers that can be operated not only autonomously but also economically. Whether turning or milling machines - SHERPA offers flexible and reliable solutions that are perfectly matched to your systems.
How it worksWith a fully automatic workpiece feeder, your production remains in operation almost without interruption. Your DMG MORI machine works around the clock to maximize uptime and minimize scrap.
With our reliable retrofit solution, you can significantly reduce manual effort. Less operating personnel combined with increased productivity makes automation from SHERPA Robotics an economically convincing solution for your DMG MORI machines.
Thanks to the use of state-of-the-art control systems, the processing machine is loaded continuously and with repeat accuracy, which is the prerequisite for stable machining results. This allows you to achieve consistently high quality standards in every production batch.
The systems from SHERPA Robotics can be used flexibly - both in series production and in small batches. Because robot automation is not only worthwhile for large series.
The SherpaLoader® automation system can be adapted to any DMG MORI processing machine - whether with stationary or rotary clamping technology. Thanks to the modular design, the systems can be tailored to your individual requirements with minimal effort and seamlessly integrated into existing production concepts.
At the heart of the system is SherpaVision®, the state-of-the-art 3D camera laser system. It recognizes workpieces exactly where they have been placed - completely without the use of grid plates, stops or dies. This eliminates the need for frequent retooling of mechanical devices and the complex programming of change magazines. Expensive and vulnerable rotary and stacking tables are therefore no longer required. An integrated protective flap reliably protects the optical sensors even in harsh environments.
A key competitive advantage is the short changeover time. Workpieces can be changed in less than five minutes. A short changeover time means more production time.
SHERPA's material supply options are as versatile as your production requirements. Whether SpaceBox, table trolley or pallets - we develop the optimum solution for your desired process autonomy and seamless integration into your existing material flow concept.
The user-friendly dialog control enables simple operation of the automation via a 17" touch display. As there are no complex programming tasks, even less technically experienced users can control the systems safely and efficiently.
