The promise of collaborative robots in advanced manufacturing is significant, and has the potential to fundamentally redefine production operations. Robot-enabling CNC machines provides the ability to run ‘lights out’ safely for additional capacity, precision quality, and improved profit margins.

Recently, together with Flexxbotics we completed our most successful Robotic Machine Tending project to date.

Find out how we robot-automated CNC production, and hear firsthand about our findings, best practices, and innovative options for your own initiatives.
