Safe loading and unloading of CNC machines – with mobile gantry cranes from SCHILLING

Efficient feeding of CNC machining centres

Working on CNC machining centres requires precision, safety and process stability. Precise positioning is crucial, especially when loading and unloading heavy workpieces, in order to avoid damage to the machine and components. This is exactly where SCHILLING's mobile gantry cranes come into play: they offer a flexible, safe and space-saving solution that is specially tailored to the high demands of CNC manufacturing.

Challenge: placing heavy workpieces precisely

CNC machines are used in numerous industries – from aerospace and automotive to mechanical engineering. Often, heavy workpieces have to be loaded into the machines or removed again after machining. Handling is particularly complex when it comes to large components: millimetre precision is essential, while downtimes must be kept as short as possible.

Solution: Mobile gantry cranes from SCHILLING

SCHILLING's mobile aluminium gantry cranes can be easily positioned directly above the CNC machining centres. Thanks to their modular design and adjustable gantry legs, they can also be used in halls with limited space.

Particularly practical:

• Safe load pressure brake in the pulley block for precise and controlled lifting
• Easy assembly and disassembly without costly modifications
• High flexibility in height, width and load capacity
• Customised designs possible if standard solutions are not sufficient – SCHILLING develops and supplies tailor-made designs for very special requirements

The result: Heavy components can be placed safely, quickly and with millimetre precision in the machine.

Result: greater efficiency and productivity

SCHILLING gantry cranes not only make loading and unloading CNC machines safer, but also significantly more efficient.

• Minimised downtime thanks to fast handling
• Increased productivity through reliable lifting and lowering
• Individual adaptability to different machine types and hall situations
• Flexibility even for special solutions – on request, SCHILLING develops customised products that are precisely tailored to the respective machine or production line

In this way, mobile gantry cranes actively contribute to accelerating production processes and improving overall efficiency in CNC machining.
