I want to have serial production to fill the night-time hours, but the robot must also be able to handle five or ten parts efficiently without complicated programming. I have been able to achieve this special form of automation in cooperation with BMO Automation.

The strongest point at BMO is thinking from the perspective of a craftsman. A robot must be a tool, not a weight around my neck. Our employees are millers and not robot programmers. The most important aspect is that the robot is quick and simple to operate. This is why I chose BMO.

“We try to combine product families, but due to the standardization in tools and the flexibility of the robot cell, we can easily make three or five products unmanned. This allows us to switch quickly. You can get started quickly with a repeat order which you already produced and have saved on the robot-CNC combination.”

BMO has made operation so simple that any right-minded person can understand it in ten minutes. This lowers the threshold to work with a robot.

“The operation of automation systems is always crucial. Ideally, such a system should be as easy to use as a toaster. I have to give my compliments to BMO for the way they made the system so easy to use.”

The self-adjusting gripper is a fantastic solution because gripper changes become a thing of the past, since this gripper can automatically seize different products at the right diameter.

Precision and reliability are extremely important to us. The combination of robot and machine must continue to produce in a dimensionally stable way in our climatised production hall 24 hours a day. We are convinced that by choosing a robot cell from BMO Automation we can achieve an even greater precision and process reliability.

We chose a quadruple zero-clamping system with a medium passage and pallets with machine clamps on top. In order to operate these clamping tools without a robot, it is also possible to manually operate the machine clamp and zero-clamping system with two integration kits. The first results show that expectations have been entirely fulfilled.

“In the short time that we are working with the BMO automation, we see that it immediately pays off. The combination of pallet and product handling makes that possible for us.”

BMO also offers as an option that the robot experts in Nederweert (NL) can take over the programming over an Internet connection, if problems arise. As long as there are no mechanical faults, they can quickly rectify faults or initially support the operators during programming.

You can program fast and can quickly set the machine, you have the flexibility required to produce small series in a cost-effective way. Fast programming and quick setting; this is exactly what BMO focuses on and does very well.

The robots from BMO Automation did not only result in an increase in turnover, they also created a certain degree of calm. You just know that everything will operate well. It makes me feel calm when I can tell the customer: your order will be ready tomorrow.

“With an automation from BMO Automation it doesn’t really matter what you want to produce. You get a huge flexibility. The layout of the drawers and the user-friendly software. It is almost infinite, it simply offers so many possibilities.”

If our customers require us to deliver their products faster we must have a short production cycle time. The sophisticated automation solutions of BMO Automation helps us to achieve this.

The major advantage of the solution from BMO is that we can run a number of products at the same time, which does not limit you to one type of product in one size. You can fill the whole robot cell with different types of products of different sizes, weights and materials.

The software system from BMO Automation is more than simple. Everything is pre-programmed, the position of the clamps is known. It actually is not programming anymore, it is merely entering a number of variables. The software does everything else automatically.
