NOQDENT Punctum Lab
5-axis dry milling
Automated robot cell
NOQDENT Continuum
Your lab's night shift.
One robot loads blanks into three or more NOQDENT mills and unloads the finished discs, so your lab keeps producing between shifts.
Overview
Turn three or more NOQDENT mills into one production cell. Our own robot arm, designed for this cell, handles every blank, and the included scheduling software queues your jobs across every mill.
Why automate?
More output from the same lab and the same team.
-
Mill after hours
The cell keeps loading and unloading after your team goes home.
-
Free your technicians
No one waits by a machine to swap discs, so your team can design and finish.
-
Keep every mill busy
The included scheduling software queues jobs across all mills, so no machine waits for an operator.
-
Grow mill by mill
There's no limit per robot: add a mill to the cell, not another operator.
The cell
One robot, every mill.
Watch one robot serve three or more NOQDENT mills, with raw blanks on one rack and finished parts on another.
The cell in three numbers.
-
1 Robot
Loads every blank and unloads every finished disc.
-
3+ Mills
No upper limit: add mills as your lab grows.
-
2 Racks
Raw blanks and finished parts never mix.
The cycle
Load. Mill. Unload. Repeat.
Every disc follows the same path.
-
Step 01
Pick
The robot takes a raw blank from the rack.
-
Step 02
Load
It loads the blank into a NOQDENT mill.
-
Step 03
Mill
The mill works while the robot serves the others.
-
Step 04
Unload
Once the interlock allows, it takes the finished disc out.
-
Step 05
Store
It places the disc on the finished-parts rack.
-
Repeat
Then on to the next mill.
Safety interlock
Three conditions, then the robot enters.
-
Condition 1
The spindle has stopped
-
Condition 2
The axes are homed
-
Condition 3
The door is fully open
Only then does the robot enter.
Why: So the robot and a moving spindle are never in the chamber together.
The machines
