Storage & Automatic Feeding for CNC Machining | New Partner
Storage and automatic feeding: rotary, stacker, multi-layer and lane-type magazines, servo trays and conveyors, so one refill carries production further.
Storage & Automatic Feeding
How long production runs on one refill is decided by the storage magazine.
Storage & Automatic Feeding, in short
From storage. Rotary, stacker, multi-layer and lane-type magazines and servo trays hold the blanks so that production is refilled in batches instead of continuously; storage decides how long one refill keeps running. Storage capacity is built to the part size and the process and is calculated from the measured part dimensions at proposal stage, with no fixed number promised. Refilling itself remains manual work, and can be done with an AGV or a forklift.
Scope and typical configuration
Storage types
Rotary magazine (8-station tray type, 7 stations loaded by hand), stacker magazine (vertical stack type), multi-layer magazine, lane-type magazine and servo tray.
Workpiece fit
Shafts, discs, sleeves, flanges, small parts and irregular parts; the larger and longer the part, the fewer stations per layer.
How it is used
Central refilling with distributed feeding (one magazine serving several machines), pairing with a single machine, or buffering inside a cell.
Capacity
Storage capacity is built to the part size and the process; it is calculated from the measured part dimensions at proposal stage and stated in the proposal, with no fixed number promised.

Frequently asked questions
How many parts does a storage magazine hold?
There is no fixed number: capacity is built to the part size and the process, calculated from the measured part dimensions at proposal stage and written into the proposal.
Does the magazine still need manual refilling?
Yes. The point of storage is to turn continuous refilling into batch refilling, not to remove it. Refilling can be manual, or handled with an AGV or a forklift.
Can storage work with the loading unit we already have?
Yes. Storage is a feeding unit and can be designed around the travel and the gripping method of the existing robot or gantry robot.
