How Does it Work?
The Doga RC20 unit places a vice or fixture pallet into the machine tool at a fixed zero-point position.
Air is fed through the loading arm gripper and actuates the Zero-point base clamping system —eliminating the need for an internal air feed through the machine tool.
Following the completion of the machining cycle and the automated cleaning of the component, the RC20 receives an M Code command from the machine tool. This command initiates a precise unload and loading cycle. Once executed, the M-code command signals the machine tool to seamlessly repeat its machining cycle.
The RC20 unit runs a fixed cycle, eliminating the need for extensive programming. Its autonomy is independent of the machine tool’s control, ensuring efficiency and ease of use.

FAQ’s
What will be my monthly gains, and how many months are needed to recoup my investment if I equip my machining centre with an RC20 automation system?
Contact your dedicated DOGA technical sales representative for a personalised study using a specialised tool to calculate ROI. They will precisely quantify your earning potential based on your unique circumstances and production setup.
Does my machining centre need an “Automation Package” (preparation of the machining centre to receive an Automation system) to install the RC20 system?
No, the implementation of the DOGA RC20 system does not require an “Automation Package.” Our system is designed for easy installation, featuring:
- Communication through M-function.
- Optional automated side window installation provided by us.
- Activation of the pneumatic base without the need for air supply on the machine table (no rotary joint required).
