MHS

Material Handling Systems

Increasing the productivity of your shop does not always mean buying more and more machines. Komo Machine offers you a variety of Material Handling Systems (MHS) to maximize the amount of material that can be produced on one machine. Imagine increasing productivity of a machine by 20% to 30% just by adding an MHS system.

Komo offers three styles of MHS's to suit any need you may have.

Manual Material Handling System

The manual MHS gives you the ability to prepare a sheet on a spoilboard while the machine is in operation. Once the machine has completed its cycle, you can either use a reverse air blower or our pop-up roller ball table to shuttle the completed parts and spoilboard from the machine table and load the new sheet of material already prepared on a separate spoilboard. The operator can then start the machining process. They will be able to then remove the completed parts that were removed, place a new sheet of material on the spoilboard and have this prepared for the next machining cycle.

1) Transfer board and material are prepared while the CNC is in operation.

2) Pre-staged material is moved onto the table while the machined parts and spoilboard are pushed off to the roller tables.

3) Operator clears machined parts while the CNC starts operation.

4) Transfer board is brought back to the in feed area.

Automated Material Handling System

The Automated MHS system is designed specifically for our Solution E and Solution Series traveling gantry machines. Once the machining process has been completed, the gantry will retrieve the pusher unit from the front of the machine. It will lower the unit behind the nested sheet and start to push off the completed parts to the down draft table. The pusher also connects automatically to the dust collection so it cleans the table as it is pushing the parts. The operator loads the new sheet of material and starts the next machining cycle. Once the machine is running, they are then able to sort and remove the completed parts on the down draft table.

1) Material is machined.

2) Gantry picks up pusher and connects to dust collection.

3) Finished parts are pushed off the table.

4) Pusher is positioned for next machined nest.

Automatic Material Handling System

The Automatic MHS gives you the ultimate in material handling. Designed for our moving table machines, this system takes the operator out of the equation. First an entire unit of material is loaded into the system. The Automatic MHS will pick up one sheet of material and bring it on to the machine table. A pusher arm will push the completed nest off the table and also has a built in dust collection to clean the spoilboard as it loads the new sheet. This system will then square the new sheet of material to the table. The operator will then just have to push the cycle start button and the machining cycle will start. This is all done within 30 seconds.

1) Unit of material is loaded into the MHS.

2) Simultaneously cleans the spoilboard, pushes off the machined parts and loads the new sheet of material.

3) Material is squared to the table.

4) Next sheet is staged for loading.

Available options for this system are:

Downdraft Table

Conveyor Offload System

Multiple Bunk Storage
