Efficiency, safety, and quality are critical in precision tool manufacturing. ANCA’s RoboMate Tool Cleaning System, now a standard option on MX and TX tool grinders, removes excess oil from tools before they return to the pallet. Using a high-powered air jet, this simple yet effective solution reduces oil buildup, leading to a cleaner, safer, and more efficient production environment.

Key benefits of the RoboMate Tool Cleaning System:

1. Improved factory OH&S compliance

Excess oil buildup can lead to oil drips on the factory floor, creating potential safety hazards. By ensuring tools are free from excess oil before they leave the machine, the RoboMate Tool Cleaning System minimises the risk of slips and falls, contributing to a safer workplace for operators.

2. Enhanced process efficiency

Post-grinding processes such as coating and laser marking require tools to be clean and oil-free. By integrating the RoboMate Tool Cleaning System, manufacturers can ensure a smoother transition between production stages, reducing the need for additional cleaning steps and increasing overall process efficiency.

3. Cost savings

Instead of losing oil to the production environment, the RoboMate Tool Cleaning System retains excess oil within the loader, helping manufacturers reduce waste and associated costs over time. This means better resource utilisation and a cleaner workspace.

4. Retrofittable

The RoboMate Tool Cleaning System is designed for seamless integration with existing ANCA tool grinders. It can be retrofitted onto TX and MX machines with RoboMate loaders built after 2018, provided they are running ToolRoom RN34 software release or later. This flexibility allows manufacturers to upgrade their existing equipment without significant investment in new machinery.

ANCA continues to deliver innovative, cost-effective Custom Solutions that enhance productivity, safety, and efficiency. With the RoboMate Tool Cleaning System, manufacturers can achieve a cleaner, safer, and more streamlined tool production process while maintaining the high standards of precision and quality that ANCA is known for.
