Siemens MTR Machine Tool Robot for high-precision steel machining

At the trade fair, Siemens is presenting the MTR Machine Tool Robot, a solution that combines robot mechanics and control technology to create an industrial-grade machining unit. This innovative approach opens up new possibilities in industries such as aircraft construction and automotive, where maximum precision is crucial for large machining surfaces.

Siemens MTR Machine Tool Robot combines CNC control and robot mechanics

The MTR Machine Tool Robot is being developed in collaboration with partners from the automation industry. Siemens is responsible for control integration, while the mechanics are provided by leading robot manufacturers. This close collaboration has resulted in a system that not only enables automation, but also expands robots to include high-precision machining tools.

Siemens MTR Machine Tool Robot with 0.1 millimeter accuracy in milling

An outstanding feature of the Siemens MTR Machine Tool Robot is its precision: when milling C45 steel, it achieves an accuracy of up to 0.1 millimeters. These values are in the range of classic machine tools and clearly set the robot apart from standard industrial applications. For users, this means new freedom in material processing and complex manufacturing processes.
