New 80 Point Project Checklist for CNC Robot Machine Tending

In a recent blog, I shared the 15 Point Project Planning Outline which you can use as the basis for developing a structured roadmap for your robot machine tending project. 

This is one of the several practical tools included in our latest white paper which is a Complete Guide to Robotic Machine Tending Projects.

The paper provides detailed info on the different elements of a machine tending initiative using either cobots or industrial robots to achieve greater unattended operation, higher yields, and better margins. 

Another useful resource is the Robot Machine Tending Project Checklist which provides more than 80 points to consider for a successful robotic machine tending project. 

In next gen manufacturing environments, advanced machine tending with robotics has become essential for improving throughput, efficiency, precision, and safety. 

Enabling robots to run multiple parts thru multiple operations on multiple machines including deburring if needed, cleaning, UID / laser marking, and most importantly inspection which plays a critical role in precision production. 

The checklist outline will help you in assessing and establishing a thorough CNC robot machine tending project covering the key aspects necessary for a successful initiative including: 

  • In-feed/Out-feed Parts Presentation 
  • End-of-Arm Tooling
  • Robot+Machine Interfacing
  • Safety & Risk Assessments
  • ROI Justification and a lot more
