For example , the operator ’ s area has been expanded to include direct-loading vertical five-axle machining centres .

The special characteristics of the PHS Pro include the “ front access ” option . This is essential in machining centres in which the design only allows operator intervention at the front side . Front access is designed such that a cordoned off safety area allows the

New class : PHS Allround
Liebherr specially developed the compact class PHS Allround for universal users .
It will allow a large group of users to enter the world of flexible production in combination with 4- and 5-axis machining centres . The new modular concept in three weight classes for loads up to three tons is extremely flexible and can be individually configured and expanded . This corresponds to pallet sizes of 500 x 500 millimetres to 1000 x 1000 millimetres . Users can thus introduce flexible production systems with manageable investment and expand them when necessary .

single system . For the customer , it is important that the system has two set-up stations , despite the tight space available .
For all Liebherr pallet handling systems ( RLS , PHS Pro and PHS Allround ), there will be a new cell control in the market soon . Simple operation will be the main priority . The new graphically-guided interface concentrates functions on the main computer in a user-friendly manner , and if required also allows full production control . This includes resource planning , cutting tools and NC data management . Furthermore , there are also interfaces to the ERP systems .
Further standardization of the important set-up stations and the introduction of the modular concept means that functions , such as motor-

The development of the PHS Allround strictly followed the modular concept . In other words , the customer is able to combine preconfigured modules as needed to meet his requirements : the storage locations can be arranged in a circular pattern at the ends with one or more machines and front access . Investments can be spread over different expansion stages . It is possible to start with one or two machines and increase this number to five .
