SMART CELL Robotic Sorting

 

Mazak’s SMART CELL is a 6-axis robot that utilizes interchangeable magnetic and suction cup grippers to sort laser-cut parts, load raw material, and remove remnant material. The magnetic heads are used to pick and place mild steel parts while the suction cup grippers are ideal for material that is not magnetic, like stainless and aluminum. 

SMART CELL can be customized to accommodate the needs of most shop environments. The sorting system is available in multiple size and payload options to sort a wide range of geometry, with the base design featuring a small 20’ x 20’ footprint. Compatible with Mazak’s flat sheet laser-cutting machines, SMART CELL can be integrated as a standalone solution or with automated storage towers for continuous production. Integrating storage tower solutions with SMART CELL allows the automation tower to load/unload material while the robot unloads finished parts for faster run times.
