The new MC-EASY multipurpose cell from RAMPF Production Systems offers automated and cost-effective sealing, casting, and bonding. The product facilitates high-performance and high-quality automated mixing and dispensing of reactive resin systems.
With a compact size, the system works well with small quantities, providing simple operation and programming, and short set-up times. MC-EASY covers a wide range of applications – sealing systems, gap fillers, adhesives, and other one-, two- and multi-component materials. Products are mixed and dispensed quickly and reliably.
"The name says it all: Our brand-new MC-EASY makes it easy to get started with automated dispensing. The cell concept is particularly suitable for applications that require small quantities in combination with high component variability and reproducibility," said Albert Schmid, CEO at RAMPF Production Systems.
Thanks to the plug-and-play approach, the machine is particularly flexible and can be easily set up, moved, or integrated into existing production lines. The compact design not only saves space, but also allows easy accessibility, which guarantees optimized set-up times.
At the heart of the MC-EASY is the proven RAMPF dispensing technology for the application of one-, two-, and multi-component materials, which are processed via a static mixer. The multifunctional cell is equipped with a modern, easy-to-operate six-axis robot with a maximum load capacity of 3 kg and a reach of approx. 600 mm.
Components are handled easily via a light curtain secured opening – fast, safe, and CE-compliant. The manually fillable material containers for components are integrated into the cell, as is the control cabinet for the robot; this ensures a small footprint. Optionally, material can be supplied from cartridges, hobbocks, and 200-liter containers.
During development, significant focus was attached to the simple programming of the robot, coupled with a powerful Beckhoff controller. Thanks to the 3D real-time display of the robot movement, the system is very easy to operate, even without prior knowledge.
"Operational simplicity and efficiency were very important to us, which is why Fruitcore from Constance, a leading developer and supplier of AI-supported industrial robots, is the ideal partner for us,” explained Michael Iliesiu, the project manager responsible for developing the MC-EASY.
