Machine Tending - Workpiece and pallet automation 

R-C2 is an example of an automation solution that combines features of both workpiece and pallet automation. The workpiece in the storage rack is gripped with the R-C2 and is clamped at the same time. The clamping force block with the clamped workpiece is then loaded into the quick-change pallet system of the machine like a pallet. After machining, the R-C2 with the clamped workpiece are removed from the machine. The workpiece can now be set up again, clamped and loaded for processing the second side. After production, the R-C2 with the workpiece is removed again and the finish-machined workpiece is placed.
