CNC Interface, Workholding System Integrate Automation
VersaBuilt, with Universal Robots, showcases the CNC Communication URCap interface and MultiGrip workholding system for collaborative robot integration.
The CNC Communication URCap is an interface for machine tending applications, handling simpler integration and operation.
The MultiGrip workholding system provides reduced engineering costs, easier robot programming, faster setup time, and enhanced processing capabilities.
The MultiGrip workholding system includes an automatic vise, machinable jaws and an end-of-arm tool for the UR robot. The system enables the robot and the CNC to share a set of MultiGrip machinable jaws for in feed, out feed and CNC machining, resulting in reduced engineering costs, easier robot programming, faster setup time, and enhanced processing capabilities.
