HOW DOES VICELOADER OPERATE?
On the pages below, we will introduce the unique features of Viceloader:
In the principle, there are 2 types of automation (direct clamping and external clamping)
The automation system loads individual workpieces directly into the CNC centre where the workpieces are clamped in a special vice. Workpieces are gripped separately by the special automation holders. Each workpiece needs a different gripper.
DIRECT CLAMPING:
Advantages:
►ideal for large-lot contracts
Limits:
►each workpiece needs a different gripper (effector), magazine and vice.
►ideal for large lots of identical workpieces
Ideally, VICELOADER can be used for both variants,
external and direct clamping.
As a standard we offer the smart solution version = external clamping
EXTERNAL CLAMPING:
The operator attaches the workpieces to pallets or directly into vices to be placed into the magazine. The automation system picks and places a whole pallet or the vice with the workpiece into the CNC centre.
Advantages:
►clamping by operator = 100% safety
►ideal for small and medium-batch production
►highly reliable, easy and safe
►workpieces may differ in size and shape
Limits:
►each workpiece requires a pallet or vice
VICELOADER is Plug & Play
in the external clamping version.
Function of the Patented Viceloader Arm
(profile)
Viceloader’s innovation consists in the capability of the horizontal movement of the arm
Bionic arm movement is based on the natural movement of a man, but it has a larger range.

Viceloader's magazine is a rotary type and it allows for full modification as specified by the user.
The magazine is composed of various types of levels. Individual levels are fully selectable
depending on the dimensions of workpieces and pallets.
Fully selectable levels are derived from the
sizes of vices and pallets that are put onto the levels.
Viceloader is standardly supplied with one level.
For detailed information on rotary level options, see Chapter "Magazine"
example of the arrangement of pallets and vices
onto all of the level types of Viceloader:
Viceloader has four wheels, two rotary and two fixed,
which allow for the easy and quick movement of Viceloader.
Viceloader has a set of legs for fixed placement.
Viceloader can be moved manually on a pallet truck or with a high-lift truck

Install legs to more machining centres. Viceloader movement and anchorage to the points prepared in advance will take several minutes without the need for positional levelling. As a matter of course, we also offer a spare set.
The green colour indicates the work area for Viceloader. We tried to use the area to the full extent.

thanks to the full-featured CNC control, the Viceloader automation system can be controlled very easily and the four-axis movement is fully programmable
Viceloader can be connected to any CNC centre
In contrast to competitive solutions, the Viceloader control system does not require any special knowledge of robotics.
Interconnection between CNC centre and Viceloader
Simple connection of Viceloader and CNC centre
All the communication needs is one M-function only
Customers are capable of the connection completely on their own
