GROB G-modules are modular machining centers and designed for use in series production, including for the
automotive industry. They are offered in three different sizes.
All sizes are available as single- and two-spindle machine versions.

 MACHINE CONCEPT

Modularity is standard at GROB

The demands placed on a modular manufacturing system are as diverse as they are contradictory:
More flexibility, more productivity with lower investment costs and completely future-proof at the same time.
The G-series is a game-changing manufacturing system for the machine tool industry.

Schematic representation of the Schematic representation of the

single-spindle machine two-spindle machine

Functional principle of G-modules

The G-series manufacturing system is designed for maximum flexibility on both the machine side and the process side.
The machining centers therefore have a strict modular design. They are autonomous modules that are composed to
different equipment levels from one modular level to suit the customer's requirements.

Axis arrangement Features

• Z: Horizontal linear axis, feed/spindle axis • Modular structure

• X: Horizontal linear axis, parallel to the clamping table • X- and Z-axis with optimized dynamics
• Y': Vertical linear axis • Optimized stiffness
• A': Rotary axis around X • Ideal chip fall (overhead machining)
• B': Rotary axis around Y' • Horizontal machining
• X- and Z-motion within the spindle (stable cross slide) • Optimized flexibility
• A'-/B'- and Y'-motion within the part • Good access
(loading impossible from front and top)
• High energy efficiency

 AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY

Machining centers with efficient part loading function

All F-series machining centers are designed for efficient work area loading.
All loading devices are developed and produced by GROB, and so the individual components are guaranteed to be
optimally matched. The overall system – comprising machine, fixture, process and automation – guarantees an
optimal process without any compromise.

DIRECT/INDIRECT LOADING
Direct loading means loading directly onto the fixture provided in the loading area of the machine. The operation
can be achieved either manually by an operator or by a linear gantry or robot. In case of indirect loading,
the loading and unloading processes are decoupled by a swiveling, sliding or pallet changer.
These loading devices can likewise be loaded manually by an operator or by an automated process.

TOP LOADING
Agile loading portal
The agile loading portal is set apart by the extremely high acceleration rates and velocities
achieved, and is suitable for loading medium-weight parts.
This system offers benefits in its ability to adapt simply to new part types.
Thanks to its compact design, it can also be used in production halls with low hall height.
The minimum number of components guarantees the highest availability.
Cartesian linear gantry
The Cartesian linear gantry is designed for the fully-automated direct loading of a G-module
from above and is available in three different versions.
It has one vertical axis per carriage and is therefore also suitable for very heavy parts.
The Cartesian linear system travels in the horizontal and vertical plane at the same time,
thereby also achieving more efficiency.
Cartesian linear gantry with telescope
The Cartesian linear gantry with telescope is one of GROB's most recent top loading
developments and is especially suitable for use in production halls with a low hall height.

FRONT LOADING
Automatic sliding changer
The automatic sliding changer is normally equipped with a loading portal.
Loading with agile loading portal and automatic sliding changer is the GROB standard for
automated, decoupled loading processes that guarantee minimum non-productive times
during the machining process.

Swiveling changer
The swiveling changer decouples the part transport process from the machine loading
process, which can be carried out either manually or via a portal. It is suitable for both
partially and fully automated loading.
A swiveling changer is able to load two machines, positioned opposite one another to
save space, in succession.
On request, we can also offer special solutions for automation technology. Subject to technical changes without prior notice

16
TRANSPORTATION AND AUTOMATION COMPONENTS
Transportation and automation components link with the GROB automation system to create modules from which

Machine concept
complex automation systems can be combined. The high degree of standardization ensures the best possible price/
performance ratio, and also a high degree of technical optimization.

P. 4 – 5
Automation system

The standard automation system is executed as a friction-type roller conveyor and can be employed on all GROB machines.
All rollers are simultaneously driven by a tangential chain. The height of the roller conveyor is adapted as required.

Latest machine technology

Drip pans made of galvanized steel sheet or stainless steel are available as an option.

Lifts

Lifts serve to compensate level differences, thereby allowing automation system guidance across multiple levels.

P. 6 – 7
Transport across obstacles and travel paths is therefore also possible. Often, lifts combined with automation systems
across several levels are used as a storage system.

Swivel conveyor

Machine components
Swivel conveyor create passageway through the automation system to guarantee passageway to the individual system
parts. These components are used wherever the automation system has to be crossed at ground level.

P. 8 – 11
Rotates

Rotates are used to alter the transport direction and also as switch points. This permits direction changes in

90° increments. The orientation of the pallet to the transport direction is always maintained.

Lift transverse units

Similar to the rotary tables, lift transverse units can be used as switch points. Lift transverse units are often used to

P. 12 – 13
unload and load parts from and to the material flow for measuring and inspection tasks.
Likewise, rotate and lift transverse unit can be combined to form one lift rotate unit.

Swivel units

Automation technology
Swivel units allow pallets or parts to change direction.
They can also be used in inspection stations, where they permit access to the part from all sides.

Storage systems
P. 14 – 17
There is a broad range of storage systems to choose from. Part and pallet storage systems, as well as component
storage systems are available. Storage systems are used primarily for buffering and sorting tasks.

SPC stations
Machine characteristics

SPC stations are individual workstations along the manufacturing line, at which parts can be loaded and unloaded for
statistic process controls.
P. 18 – 23

Zero-point clamping system

Zero-point clamping system are used to fix, position and clamp clamping components (e.g. adapter plates),

The parts are firmly bolted to an adapter plate and transported through the manufacturing line in the clamped state.
