IROCUBE M12L — M Series robotic cell

Overview

M12L at a glance

The largest standard M Series cell. The robot and control panels sit in one module, conveyors and camera in the other, so the layout can follow your machines. It can tend one machine, or two.

Reference

In production on a Chiron machining center

Long machining times and a long conveyor give up to 8 hours of unattended production, with about 10 minutes of operator time per shift.

Reference layout for one machining center (W × D × H). The final size depends on your machine; send us its dimensions for a layout.

One single platform

Built, crated and shipped as one piece

Every IROCUBE leaves our hall as a finished, tested cell. It arrives the same way, so production starts days after delivery, not weeks.

IROCUBE M12L robotic cell — 01Built and tested as one unitRobot, conveyors, camera and control cabinet on one welded base frame, tested at Robsen before it leaves.

The whole cell in one export crate — 02Crated in one pieceThe complete cell goes into one export crate. Nothing is taken apart, nothing is rewired on site.

The crated cell goes onto the truck by forklift — 03Forklift, truck, your floorA forklift loads it onto the truck. On site it is set down in front of the machine, connected and running.

Included in every M Series cell

Standard equipment

Everything you need to run your first part. Robot fingers and the machine-front positioner are made for one part you choose.

Cell concept

Platform designRobot, conveyors, camera, machine-front positioner and process modules sit on one welded steel base frame.
Front-face layoutOptimized for FANUC Robodrill. Cells can be lined up side by side along a production line.
Robot positioningM7: ceiling-mounted, moves aside for machine setup. M10L and M12L: floor-mounted inside the cell.

Part feeding

Loading conveyorThe operator loads raw parts here. Fixed width, length adaptable to your needs.
Dual-side illuminationLit from above and below through a light-transmitting belt, so the camera identifies parts accurately.
Quick-change beltHinged belt structure. Replaced without dismantling the mechanism.
Low-parts signalAn illuminated button flashes yellow when the conveyor runs low. One operator sees which cell needs attention first.
Manual jog buttonsMove the conveyor forward and back by hand when needed.

Part unloading

Unloading conveyorFinished parts are placed here after machining. Length adaptable.
Accumulation alertFlashes yellow when finished parts build up.

IROVISION vision

Slider cameraComes with every cell. A single camera moves on a rail above the loading conveyor and stops over each part. You teach a part once, with one camera, and it is located and matched precisely anywhere on the belt.
IROVISION licenseOur machine vision software, built on HALCON libraries. Handles different geometries, materials and finishes.
Fixture-free feedingParts go straight onto the belt. No fixtures to build or store.
Fast changeoverSwitching parts means selecting a taught model on the screen.

Robot

6-axis industrial robotFANUC as standard. The wrist lets one robot serve conveyor, positioner and machine from one position.
Communication and safetyIO-Link infrastructure and FANUC DCS (Dual Check Safety).

Gripper

Schunk grippersParallel grippers, type and quantity engineered for your part.
Fingers for one partFinger design and manufacturing for one part you nominate. More parts are options.

Mechanics

Welded steel base frameThe main load-bearing structure.
Machine-front positionerThe robot prepares the next part here before the door opens, shortening door-open time. Slides aside for maintenance.

Enclosure and safety

Safety enclosureGuarded cell with operator door.
Safety devicesLight curtains, safety relays, emergency stops and interlocks.

Automation

Touchscreen PCOperator interface for IROVISION and cell control.
Control panelBuilt with Schneider Electric, Phoenix Contact, Banner and SICK components.
Intelligent power distributionElectronic fusing pinpoints faults quickly and shortens downtime.

Beyond the standard models

Your parts don't fit a standard cell?

Heavier parts, a longer reach, two machines with one robot, or extra process steps: we build IROCUBE cells to order on the same platform. Larger robots, such as a 25 kg M25, are a project, not a problem.

Heavier partsRobots with higher payloads, sized to your part and gripper.
Longer reachLarger machines, larger chucks, longer conveyors.
More machinesOne robot tending two machines, or dual-robot lines.
More process stepsWashing, deburring, measuring, leak testing, marking.
