Precision Automation for Large Parts Handling

Precision Automation for Large Parts Handling

New Gleason Automation for load/unload of larger parts speeds throughput, optimizes the process flow – and lifts the burden off the machine operator. The AR Series uses advanced vision guidance to ID the part and ensure proper orientation before loading it into the machine, even if it arrives without precise location directly from dunnage. Easily integrated with pre-and post-processes such as part washing, deburring, inspection and marking.
