Workpiece & Tool Handling
.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?
Suppliers in this category manufacture workpiece and tool handling systems, including loading and unloading devices, grippers, and tool changers, used to transfer parts and tools into and out of machining and production processes. They serve manufacturers automating machine tending and production cells.
What Workpiece & Tool Handling suppliers provide
Suppliers in this category design and manufacture handling systems specifically for workpieces and tools within machining and production processes, including loading and unloading devices, grippers, pallet changers, and automatic tool changing systems. Core competence lies in matching handling precision, cycle time, and part or tool compatibility to the machining process being automated, such as CNC machine tending or production cell integration. Many suppliers also provide integration with robotics and machine controls. This category covers handling equipment specific to production and machining; general lifting and positioning equipment is listed under Handling Technology & Equipment. In the pre-selection phase, compare which machine types and part ranges each supplier’s systems are designed to handle.
Relevant standards
Workpiece and tool handling equipment integrated into machining processes is commonly assessed against EN ISO 13857 for safety distances and general machinery safety requirements. Supplier quality management is typically certified to ISO 9001.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between workpiece handling and general handling technology?
Workpiece and tool handling suppliers design equipment specifically for machine tending and production automation, such as loading a CNC machine. General handling technology covers broader-purpose lifting and positioning equipment not tied to a specific machining process.
