Tool automation including MES Cell controller meets the highest expectations
MAM Automation makes it clear: we are the global technology leader in tool handling for flexible manufacturing systems (FMS).
MAM Automation is established in the upper echelons of manufacturing automation and offers comprehensive, turnkey solutions including complex software logistics. MAM implements highly complex systems with its own developments, mechanics, electrics, and software (PLC and Windows-based master computer software). Our customers have the highest demands, and thanks to our determination to meet all of these customer requirements and consistently focus on the same topic, we can now say after more than 20 years: thank you for helping us achieve this level of expertise!
We are clearly superior to our competitors in terms of technology and are now moving towards what we deserve: the largest market share! Whether you need to supply one or more machines simultaneously, breakage detection, cone cleaning, and tool buffering during non-productive time (process-neutral), connection to tool maintenance, connection to MES, ERP, or the MAM tool management system Tool Manager to manage your entire plant; we have already implemented solutions that have been running for years at leading companies in aviation, motorsports, oil and gas, and mechanical engineering, and now you know about them!
Predicting which tools will be needed next (look-ahead out of CNC Program), high-performance preset storage of tools—all of this requires design ingenuity that is already evident in the concept. Reducing things to the essentials is what separates the wheat from the chaff; not one sensor too much, not one missing, the ideal drive-system, clear analysis function as central function of the software, continuous remote maintenance of the PLC and logistics control, and customer proximity even over long distances.
We have tool magazines running on over 20 machine types with Fanuc, Siemens, and Heidenhain CNC! A total of 33 magazine types have been developed. Magazines that have performed millions of changes in a 24/7 industrial environment (3-shift operation) for over 10 years—even one million changes per year. MAM Matrix-magazines are impressing with their superior detailed design and high-quality components from the best suppliers, thus achieving low maintenance costs. All MAM products are designed for a service life of 30 years.
Thanks to this experience, availability of over 99% can also be contractually guaranteed for customer-specific solutions from MAM Automation.
