Applications

With its XS 211 / XS 321 machining center concept, MAG Powertrain is setting a new standard in the field of ”lean“ production. Our engineers have developed a manufacturing concept to meet the highest technological requirements at the lowest cost.
The result is a machining center with well trusted quality at an unbeatably low price. The XS 211 / XS 321 machine design is based on a modular machine concept.This guarantees that every machine can be constructed individually to meet customer requirements. Whether aluminum, steel or grey cast iron machining, the XS 211 / XS 321 is the right solution for your manufacturing process. The machine concept is designed for medium to high volume manufacturing. A special feature of the XS series is that of system integration. The advantage is that, with different automation interfaces, XS machining centers can easily be integrated into existing production systems.

Automation

Differing automation interfaces, protocols and procedures were actively considered during the development of the XS 211 / XS 321, resulting in flexible and accurate adjustment of system modules to suit customer requirements.

Automatic front loading from the conveyor

The simple, economical automatic front loading system is characterized by the shortest loading times as well as low capital outlay. The modular concept of the XS 211/ XS 321 machining centers provides for an integral tool changer to be incorporated into the machines. The procedure for a tool change is similar to that of a pallet changer. Instead of pallets, only workpieces are inserted directly into the fixture mounted on the machine by means of rotating or swiveling equipment. The supply of workpieces is executed parallel to the primary processing time. In this case, a tool changer takes the workpiece automatically from the roller conveyor.

By a simple infeed movement of the rotary table (Z-axis) the workpieces are handed over directly to the fixture of the machine by the changing mechanism.
This ensures highest availability with maximum production accuracy.
The bottom chaining, as well as the front loading, enable optimal accessibility
to the machine and to the loading equipment at any time. The arrangement
of the machine can be selected both for a serial and parallel manufacturing
process according to customer’s requirements.

Manual loading

Manual loading and unloading of the machine provides the highest workpiece
flexibility for the loading procedure. By means of a simple exchange of pallets
and tools, an unlimited amount of workpieces can be accommodated on
the machine.The modular concept of the XS 211 / XS 321 machining centers
provides for a pallet changer to be mounted on the machine bed instead of
a workpiece changer.

Gantry loading

In complex production systems individual cells can be commissioned independently. Thus, the total installation of the manufacturing plant can be achieved in the shortest possible time. Also the transportation of workpieces overhead means that the machines are easily accessible from all sides.

Roboload

Flexible cell loading with rail mounted robots. Advantages of the roboload concept are:

• Short cycle using workpiece buffer carriage
• Standard robots offer a cost effective solution
• Flexible positioning of the workpiece in the fixture
• Different machines with different settings can be loaded with the same robot (machining centers, washing machines, assembling machines, etc.)
• Quick workpiece changeover time
• Workpiece supply of the production system from a buffer
