DN Solutions CNC automation with RoboJob robots

RoboJob offers several proven automation solutions for DN Solutions machines and has hands-on experience with the Puma, Lynx and SMX lathes and the DNM, DVF, VC and DMP machining centres, including machines built under the Doosan name. A RoboJob robot loads raw workpieces into the vice or chuck and unloads the finished parts, so your DN Solutions keeps running during breaks, evenings and nights. The best solution depends on the machine type, your workpieces and your batch sizes. The quick test suggests the right one in four questions.

All of them. RoboJob automates every type of DN Solutions CNC machine: Puma, Lynx and other CNC lathes, SMX and other turn-mill and multitasking machines, and DNM, DVF and other vertical, horizontal and 5-axis machining centres, on new and existing machines. More broadly, RoboJob automates CNC lathes and milling machines of every brand, including turn-mill centres, multitasking machines and even grinding machines. The models on this page are examples, not a limit: if your DN Solutions is not mentioned, RoboJob can still automate it.

RoboJob offers several solutions for DN Solutions lathes and has already automated, among others, the Puma 2600SY, Puma 2600LSY, Puma 3100LY, Puma GT 2600 LM and Lynx 2100 LMB. The most suitable solutions for a DN Solutions lathe are Turn-Assist, built for loading and unloading lathes with a payload up to 70 kg; Pallet-Load, which loads and unloads from pallets with a payload up to 165 kg; the Tower for high-mix production, which also swaps fixtures, jaws and collets; the Wall, which serves several machines from one space-efficient system; and Coby CNC, a collaborative robot for a first step into automation.

RoboJob offers several solutions for DN Solutions machining centres and has already automated, among others, the DNM 650, DNM 750, DVF 5000, VC 510 and DMP 500-2SP. The most suitable solutions are Mill-Assist, a compact system for loading and unloading with a payload up to 70 kg; Pallet-Load, which loads and unloads from pallets with a payload up to 165 kg; the Tower for high-mix production with frequent changeovers, which also swaps fixtures; the Wall, which serves several machines from one space-efficient system; and Coby CNC, a collaborative robot for a first step into automation.

Yes. DN Solutions is the new name of Doosan Machine Tools, and RoboJob automates both new DN Solutions machines and older Doosan machines. Mabotec retrofitted its existing Doosan VC 510 with a robot interface and now automates small batches from 5 parts with a Mill-Assist. Vanro CNC and Metaalconstructie Vanderscheuren automated their Doosan Puma lathes with Turn-Assist.

Yes. With a RoboJob robot loading and unloading your DN Solutions, the machine keeps cutting after the last shift. Robland gets extra spindle hours and a higher return from its Doosan DNM 650 and Lynx 2600Y, and Metaalconstructie Vanderscheuren meets tight delivery times with five Turn-Assist Essentials on Doosan Puma lathes. For unattended nights and weekends with many different parts, the RoboJob Tower offers the most storage and also swaps fixtures.

The investment depends on the product, your workpieces and the options you need, so RoboJob makes a quote for your specific DN Solutions. More telling than the price is the payback: a RoboJob typically pays for itself in 6 to 18 months, depending on how many extra spindle hours the robot adds. The ROI calculation shows it for your own figures, or request your offer directly.

A robot-ready DN Solutions needs three things: an automatic door, automatic workholding that the control opens and closes (such as a pneumatic vice or a hydraulic chuck) and a robot interface, so the robot and the DN Solutions control can exchange signals. If your existing DN Solutions lacks one of these, it can usually be retrofitted: Mabotec, for example, retrofitted its Doosan VC 510 with a robot interface. RoboJob engineers check your machine and tell you what is needed.

RoboJob robots run on, among others, the DN Solutions and Doosan Puma 2600Y, 2600SY, 2600LSY, 3100LY and GT 2600 and GT 3100 lathes, the Lynx 2100 LMB and 2600Y, the SMX 2100ST, and the DNM 650, DNM 750, DVF 5000, VC 510 and DMP 500-2SP machining centres. DN Solutions customers include Metaalconstructie Vanderscheuren in Belgium, Vanro CNC in Belgium, Robland in Belgium and Mabotec in the Netherlands. This is only a selection: RoboJob automates every type of DN Solutions machine, so a model that is not listed here can be automated too.

That depends on how many hours the robot adds. Metaalconstructie Vanderscheuren meets tight delivery times with fewer errors and shorter operating times, Mabotec automates small batches from 5 parts, and Robland gets extra spindle hours and a higher return. A RoboJob typically pays for itself in 6 to 18 months.

No. With RoboJob you set up a new job in the software with a few clicks, without writing robot programs, so operators set up a new batch within minutes. At Vanro CNC, operators were freed from repetitive work and now focus on one-off parts and urgent repairs.

With a standard system such as a RoboJob, installation takes days rather than weeks. Mabotec's Mill-Assist was installed in a few days. The exact time depends on the product and on whether your DN Solutions first needs an automatic door or a robot interface. Want to see a RoboJob at work first? Request a demo.

Yes. The RoboJob Wall serves several machines from one system, and RoboJob automates more than 100 CNC brands. A shop with DN Solutions machines next to Mazak, DMG Mori or Okuma machines can work with one automation partner for all of them.
