AUTOMATION

simply revolutionary

Born out of the machining industry

The needs of the machining industry have always been the guiding force for Cellro. It was already the case when I founded this beautiful company in 2003. At that time, I was already active in the machining industry for a long time, but I still wasn’t fully satisfied with the way the industry worked. “Why can’t we produce faster, better and more efficiently?” I thought. “Smarter.” I believed robotic automation could grow out of its traditional boundaries of the immensely large serial production we came to know from the automotive industry. Why wasn’t there a suitable solution for small series? The answer to that question became Cellro. Ten years have passed since then – during which countless machining companies around the globe have greatly raised their profits with Cellro’s solutions. Nonetheless, we continue to pursue fresh innovation in order to help machining companies to produce smarter.

Does this situation sound familiar?

When I currently look at the machining industry, I see an era filled with pitfalls and opportunities. European machining companies are playing a double match. On the right, there’s the fiercely un-derpriced production from China. On the left, there are your close competitors from your own country.

This applies especially to the smaller companies who have yet to take their first step into automation. And consider the challenge it is to find skilled personnel. Sum it all up, and the remaining question is not if you need to automate, but when.

Remaining on top of your game

Automation is more than a robot that stands next to your machine. It’s the key solution that let’s you tackle any future production challenge with ease. And with Xcelerate, the star of this brochure, the moment to start is now. Not tomorrow, but today. Xcelerate ends all uncertainty you may have previously felt towards automation. This easy, compact and transportable solution flawlessly grows with you into the future. Any future. Whatever the day after tomorrow may bring, Xcelerate is ready.

In essence, you can purchase Xcelerate blindly.

Almost anyone in the machining industry feels it: automation is the future – but which solution is the best choice?

There are ample standardized solutions. Unfortunately, these hardly ever seem to fit your specific requirements. What about customized solutions, then? While perfect for today, you can’t be certain about their use for tomorrow.

Cellro now introduces a solution that gives you full control over the future: Xcelerate. When we view it as a product, it’s a simple, compact and easily transportable piece of automation for your CNC machines. But Xcelerate is more than that. It’s a way of automation. A system that flexibly adjusts to whatever the furture brings.

The universal core of automation

Many machining operators told us that current automation solutions made them feel uncertain about the future. Even minor adjustments cost them ample time, energy and money. Xcelerate does offer the necessary degree of freedom and control to serve you until far into the future.

How? By bringing automation back to its core: a universal base that serves as the starting point for every Xcelerate. Extend it with any functionality you desire, at any moment you see fit. Xcelerate perfectly suits your wishes of today, and those of tomorrow.

But what if your future circumstances make a certain module obsolete? Then you’ll easily find someone who wants to purchase it from you – for instance at our Xcelerate Marketplace. Every Xcelerate owner builds upon the exact same core. This provides remarkable certainty over classic automation solutions. One can truly purchase Xcelerate blindly.

1. 2. You decide what your Xcelerate does. Whenever, wherever

With Xcelerate, you’ll own perfection for fifteen years

The first automation with long-lasting value

Many products shrink in value from day one. Xcelerate doesn’t. Firstly, the universal core makes Xcelerate widely useful for the entire industry. It doesn’t matter which machine you use, which product you make and which function you want to automate; Xcelerate just fits. Secondly, the universal core solely consists of the latest cutting-edge high quality components. One yearly maintenance job is everything they need to remain in perfect shape. Xcelerate steadily keeps its high value. Not only for you, but for every machining company on earth.

What’s more, your Xcelerate is likely to even increase in value. Just like a regular worker, its true worth lies in skills and intelligence. Cellro continuously invests in extending and improving this source of value: the software. Your Xcelerate will learn new tricks, and its current functionality will be performed more efficiently. A worker that keeps growing in capabilities, keeps growing in value.

The Xcelerate you buy now will be even more valuable to the market in five years – and yes, also in ten years. Only after fifteen years of full use, this growth of value stops.

In essence, you can purchase Xcelerate blindly.


‘The entire machining industry feels it: automation has the future’

3. Xcelerate gives you full control

The future of automation: an open and transparant system

As a consumer, you are used to having full ownership of what you buy. If you want to change anything, you are the one who decides who gets to do the job: the original developer, another company, or simply yourself. Sounds perfectly reasonable, but for a long time, automation didn’t work that way. You were completely dependent upon the original manufacturer – if he was even willing or able to give support.

With Xcelerate, Cellro opens up the market completely. As Europe’s leading figure in automation, we gladly support you with our ever reliable and high-quality modules – like we’ve always done. But you’re completely free to hand over the job to a third party, or to simply do it yourself. We firmly believe such an open system is the future for automation. All necessary information about the Xcelerate interfaces can be requested for free at Cellro.

Every machining company turns to automation

Xcelerate fits. whether you produce 24 hours a day, or 8

Xcelerate increases the profits generated by your production. You’ll notice it right after your purchase, and until far into the future.

Automation is no longer exclusive to companies producing 24/7. Xcelerate does not require vast and stable serial production for it to raise your productivity. Now, almost any machining company can make use of the power of automation. At full certainty.

How is this possible? Not only because it can be adjusted at any given moment, but also thanks to its unrivalled compact size and transportability. If a machine has no job for Xcelerate to handle, then why not transfer the cell to a completely different machine? Xcelerate is useful at any place, at any time. Indeed, something that seemed unthinkable just a short while ago, has now become reality. Profitable automation finally lies within reach of the entire machining industry. No wonder that even the small machining companies turn to unmanned production.

Ready for many tasks

Xcelerate is a handling robot. This means he can perform many routine tasks around your CNC machine automatically. In spite of his compact frame and straightforward controls, Xcelerate is capable of surprisingly many functions. Anything that’s required to produce at full power: loading and unloading products, cleaning, deburring and even pallet handling.

You are never forced to stick with a specific function. Xcelerate is a flexible solution that you can easily adjust to you specific circumstances. You retain full control of the future, instead of the other way around. Xcelerate makes you feel confident and certain.

You’ve noticed that Xcelerate can take over many parts of a handling job. That may take some getting used to at the part of your staff. But eventually they will love Xcelerate just as much as you do. The mundane tasks will be handled by the robot, which makes your remaining staff engage in motivating tasks such as process management, preparing machines and configuring production programs. The mundane tasks make way for truly motivating work.

“Today, 75% of the machining

companies can profitably make use of automation.“

“ once, the robotic automation of industrial production was seen as a minimazition of workforce – the robot as men’s competitor. Now, reality shows it’s the other way around: employment has remained steady or has even grown, because robots help us to produce more efficiently (24/7)” Link Magazine
