Inputs and outputs are controllable or loadable directly from the CNC program. Thanks to to this feature, the operator does not need special programming knowledge in order to control and monitor the automatic doors, grippers, and so on, directly from the CNC program
Communication with the automated CNC centre takes place via an M-function. The automated machine must allow its startup by an external signal (pulse), and when the machining process is completed, the machine must be capable of sending a signal with a feedback message (pulse).
The external recording and program management via RS232 is also possible without any problems.

Communication System Connection
Viceloader is equipped with a signal communication cable, the end of which is fitted with a connector (plug) for connection to the CNC machining centre.
The CNC centre has to be fitted with a compatible connector (socket) for wiring.
Type of Mating Connector
Viceloader:
Connector type: cable plug 12-10 10P, 62IN 16A 12 10P/624 (made by Amphenol)
CNC centre:
Connector type: cable socket 12-10 l0P, 62IN 16A 12 105/6A 624 (made by Amphenol)
Power cable type (recommended): cable resistant to oils and mechanical stress with a wire section of 0.5 mm2, for example: HYSLYCY-JZ 12 x 0.5
Signal transmission takes place by connecting the potential-separated circuits. Signal 2 (start for Viceloader) is sent using the machine's M-function, which, once activated, trips the control relay on the CNC centre side. This Signal 2 is maintained active until Signal 1 is received (CNC centre start). The other pins are used for optional functions.
Layout of individual connector pins:
Signal cable wiring diagram:
The actual installation of the automation system to your CNC centre
is preceded by an inspection of M-Functions for correct connection. This inspection
is carried out using a Test-box that evaluates the ready state of communication.

The Full Function of the Viceloader
Automation System Requires the Following:
(it is used for connecting the pallet, vice and Viceloader)
(it is used to fix the pallet or vice in the CNC centre)
1. Handling interface system
The handling interface is installed in Viceloader's handling panel to allow the handling of vices and pallets. If you do not have your own system, we offer the following external clamping solutions:
A. For workpieces of smaller sizes, we offer a solution compatible with the Schunk NSR 100 system;
it is composed of a fixture fixed to Viceloader's connection board and a clamping pin on each pallet.
(clamping pin fixed to the pallets)
(fixture fixed to Viceloader)
B. For workpieces of larger sizes, we offer a solution compatible with the Schunk NSR 160 system;
it is composed of a fixture fixed to Viceloader's connection board and a clamping pin on each pallet.

(clamping pin fixed to the pallets)
C. Handling interface forks compatible with the Lang system.
(forks fixed to Viceloader)
(slots in the pallets or vices)
D. We can select and offer a solution as requested by the customer!
Connection board
that the handling interface
is installed to
Standard Viceloader Connection Board
The end of the Viceloader arm accommodates the part that is referred to as the connection board.
The handling interface is installed to this connection board.

2. Zero Point System
A necessary part for the automation of your CNC centre is an automatically controlled fixture with a zero point. This zero point system can be used to make automatic repeated and precise clamping in the CNC machining centres. In most cases, the clamping is carried out by pneumatic and mechanical fixtures, that is, the holding force is induced by the spring force. Unclamping takes place by the action of compressed air.
Viceloader is capable of working with all zero point types. There are many of them.
Some of them are shown below:
Clamping can take place by two possible methods:
A. Zero point control system via the CNC centre
B. Zero point control system via the Viceloader automation system
Viceloader allows for both methods of automatic clamping of the zero point.
