- We work closely the major machine tool suppliers including Doosan, DMG MORI, and Okuma
- AEC provides feeding solutions and also turn-key robotic handling and automation
- Successful history of automating difficult manual tasks
Tube and Pipe
- Up to 20” Diameter
- Up to 50’ Long
- Vibration Absorbing Steady Rests
Single and Double Sided
- Double sided system allows bars to full length of the bar to pass through the CNC machine tool. Also allows multiple passes
- Up to 50’ Long
- Vibration Absorbing Steady Rests
Double Ended
- This configuration allows two CNC’s, one on either side with a transfer station in the middle to allow side 1 machining, index and justify, and side 2 machining
- High cycle time and throughput
Hybrid bar feeder and robot solutions
- This system allow bars to feed to the CNC and then parts off a finished product to be unloaded and placed on pallets or in bins
Technology
- AEC uses Allen Bradly PLCs, and top-quality servo and AC motors. All equipment is Ethernet/IP accessible and allows for remote diagnostics
