CLX

Designed to meet strict space and budget specifications, ANCA's compact CLX loader is fully-contained within the existing machine canopy and therefore does not increase the machine footprint. It has no axes of its own, but uses the machine axes for the load and unload sequences. This means the cost is significantly lower, making automation an affordable option for companies that cannot justify the investment in more complex systems.

The CLX is basically a simple swing down arm with a set of gripper fingers attached to the end of it.Once the loader arm swings down into position it remains stationary. Movement of the machine axes completes the load and unload sequences by bringing the headstock and pallet to meet the stationary gripper fingers. By making use of the machine movements, the CLX is greatly simplfied and is a very low cost automation option.
