Fixture Exchange Module
Load fixtures into your milling machine
Do you want to load a pallet with an empty fixture? Or a pallet with a fixture that already contains a workpiece? That is of course all possible with this module. Would you like us to equip the machine with a zero point clamping system as well? We have tailor-made solutions for this too!
Our Fixture Exchange module was developed as an addition to your Mill-Assist, Tower or Wall system to load fixtures in your milling machine. This module involves a custom gripper that we seamlessly match to your desired pallet interface (HWR, Schunk, SMW, etc.).
The Fixture Exchange Module in the field
Your win
The Fixture Exchange module allow you to automate a batch with:
- Workpieces that absolutely must be clamped manually
- Several series interchangeably, with products that require different fixtures
- Fixtures from other automation systems
Choose the Fixture Exchange module and open up all these possibilities!
How does it work?
Do you have fixtures of 400x400mm? Then two will fit per Tower drawer.
Are your pallets larger? Then we add a pallet cabinet to the cell.
The pallets are fitted with an interface, the counter part of which we provide on a dedicated gripper. In this way, the robot not only changes the parts, but also changes its gripper so that it can grab the pallets and change them in the CNC machine.
You or we equip the machine with a zero point clamping system so that the pallets always end up in the same place.
A little tip? Provide a probe in the machine to perform a calibration at the start of your production. That way, you can also sleep soundly at the weekend when your RoboJob is hard at work.
Only to be found at RoboJob
Our Fixture Exchange module was developed based on the most common pallet sizes in the market. We therefore offer both the pallets as a solution and full integration with the fixture and its control. Whether this is one fixture per pallet or several, our engineering team knows what to do!
In addition to our accumulated experience, we work closely with the market leaders in the clamping field. Together with Schunk and other clamping marketing leaders, we have developed standards that are flexibly structured so that we can adapt them to your machine table.
Our engineering team always proposes you a universal adapter plate with integrated, customised interface for connections to pallets. We then seamlessly integrate everything into our software.
The best thing about this? Our software is so intuitive that you can simply load future pallets into the software yourself. If you would still like help from our experts, we will - after your approval - connect to your system remotely and solve this for you.
Do you want pallets with a Schunk NSR interface? Or an SMW interface? Or another one? Let us know and we will integrate this for you.

Our software makes the difference
The 'brains' of our products are in the Software and the accompanying User Interface. They enable you to put your robot to work as quickly and easily as possible. At the same time, we want to offer you as many functionalities and possibilities as possible. You will find that our Software makes all the difference.
More flexible than a ballerina
As you have come to expect from RoboJob, we offer a lot of flexibility. Not only in functionality, but also in the wide range of configurations of your automation solution and modules.
Leader in innovation
Machining a combination of various products in one batch is a challenge. And we like to be challenged! Our R&D department has pulled out all the stops to make sure RoboJob is the best CNC automation partner.
Let's discuss this in detail!
Our CNC experts are eager to show you the functionalities of this module. Do you prefer a technical discussion, a live demo or both? We'll make it happen.
