This time let’s take a look at “why” you would want to use robots – either industrial or collaborative – for machine tending in the first place. Robots enhance CNC machine tending by automating repetitive tasks like loading, unloading, material handling, inspection, and other operations. This improves efficiency, reduces human error, and enables machines to run continuously,
The paper provides comprehensive info on the different aspects of a machine tending initiative using either cobots or industrial robots to achieve greater unattended operation, higher yields, and better margins. Included in the paper are several practical tools that’ll help successfully guide you through your factory’s robotic automation projects.
Now it’s important to make the distinction between conventional CNC automation and using robots for machine tending with CNCs. The term “CNC automation” refers to CNC machines with specific add-on components like part feeders, pallet loaders, and CNCs with robot arms built into the machine itself. While these systems can be useful in certain cases they lack the flexibility
Today, I want to take look at the difference between basic CNC robot machine tending and Advanced Robotic Machine Tending. While there are a number of differences, the key distinction is that basic machine tending involves a single robot with one machine whereas advanced machine tending involves one or more robots
Flexxbotics today announced that Precision Metal Industries, a premier manufacturer specializing in precision sheet metal products, precision machining and complex mechanical or electromechanical assemblies, has selected Flexxbotics for advanced robotic machine tending to enable
