Halter CNC Automation has released the Halter Compact as an addition to its existing CNC loading robots. Its models have a 26.45 lb payload, which is optimum for manufacturers that use a small payload workpiece. The models offer the smallest footprint among all their products. Halter also provides a three-month free demo to test the feasibility of this product. All models are movable by a pallet truck. They also have a feature of easy movement from one CNC machine to another.

The three Halter Compact models are TurnStacker Compact for lathes, MillStacker Compact for milling machines, and Universal Compact for flexible purposes. The reduced payload still offers a wide range of workpiece sizes. The TurnStacker Compact can accommodate diameters up to 6.29" (160mm), while the MillStacker can load workpieces up to 7.87" (200mm). Universal Compact has a long shaft option available for workpieces up to 9.84" (250mm).

Halter CNC has a portfolio of CNC loading robots with robotic arms with payloads of 44.09, 75.16, 154.32 lbs. The increasing demand for smaller models made the company push through the limits. It has resulted in developing a high-capacity Halter with a 26.4 lbs robot that takes up very little floor space.

The release of these product series making the Halter CNC offer cost-effective while maintaining the quality of their existing models.

Loading robots such as the Halter Compact series provide manufacturing solutions to load and unload parts to a production machine such as a CNC machine. Making a robot place a workpiece inside a CNC machine increases production speeds and protects workers from injury. More than that, loading robots can offer lights-off manufacturing. The reduction of payload still caters to the range that standard CNC machines can handle.
