Easy and flexible programming

• Flex HMI is a technology developed by Lorenscheit Automatisierungs-Technik. It features a PC-based user interface that is customized for the respective application and makes tooling of your robot a breeze. Many SMBs use their machines for small batch productions of 1 to 100 workpieces. At these quantities, work-intensive tooling would be counterproductive - tooling has to be simple and straightforward.

Advantages

• High efficiency, consistent product quality and increased productivity
• Simplified operation during tooling of new workpieces
• Database for loading workpieces that have ben set up previously (optionally with barcode scanner)
• Modular system design for easy expansion and maximum scalability
• Plug-and-Play connectivity based on pre-configured system consisting of HMI, robot and KNUTH FlexLoader

• For the KNUTH FlexLoader an automatic door is required at the machine. We provide retrofitting solutions upon request.
