Solutions
What We Automate
Each solution is engineered around your specific process, parts, and floor constraints. We handle the integration so you can focus on production.
Automated Machine Tending for Lathes and Mills
Remove the operator from repetitive load/unload cycles. Our CNC tending cells handle part placement, door actuation, and cycle initiation while maintaining the precision your process demands.
Who It's For
- High-volume turning operations
- Milling cells with predictable cycle times
- Operations running multiple shifts
- Shops with labor recruitment challenges
Typical Cell Components
Typical Cell Layout
Single robot serving 1-2 machines with infeed/outfeed conveyors or part presenters. Safety fencing or collaborative zone configuration based on cycle time requirements.
Required Inputs
Safety Note
FANUC collaborative robots enable fenceless operation for appropriate applications. Safety assessment included in every proposal.
Organized Part Handling for Downstream Efficiency
Finished parts stacked precisely for heat treat, coating, assembly, or shipping. Custom fixtures ensure part protection and optimize pack density.
Who It's For
- Operations feeding secondary processes
- Shipping-ready part staging
- Clean room or controlled environments
- High-mix part families with similar footprints
Typical Cell Components
Typical Cell Layout
Robot positioned between machine output and pallet stations. Dual-pallet configuration allows continuous operation during pallet changes.
Required Inputs
Safety Note
Light curtains or area scanners maintain productivity while ensuring operator safety during pallet exchange.
Seamless Material Flow Into and Out of Your Process
From raw stock to finished part, automate the material handling that consumes operator time. Interface with any CNC control for coordinated operation.
Who It's For
- Bar-fed or blank-loaded machines
- Secondary operations requiring precise positioning
- Multi-machine cells
- Operations with heavy or awkward parts
Typical Cell Components
Typical Cell Layout
Centralized robot with reach to multiple machines. Gravity or powered conveyors for infeed/outfeed staging.
Required Inputs
Safety Note
Full risk assessment ensures proper guarding for payload and speed requirements.
Multi-Operation Routing with Automated Access
Connect sequential operations with automated part transfer. Integrated door handling eliminates the slowest part of your cycle.
Who It's For
- Op 10 / Op 20 configurations
- Turn-mill operations
- In-process inspection stations
- Cells with multiple workholding setups
Typical Cell Components
Typical Cell Layout
Single robot managing part flow between 2-4 stations. Intermediate staging for buffer and inspection.
Required Inputs
Safety Note
Door interlocks and machine status monitoring ensure safe coordination between robot and equipment.
Automated Deburring and Light Assembly Operations
Remove manual deburring bottlenecks and repetitive assembly tasks. Consistent force control and path accuracy eliminate quality variation while freeing skilled operators for higher-value work.
Who It's For
- Parts requiring consistent edge breaks or chamfers
- High-volume deburring after machining operations
- Repetitive assembly or fastening tasks
- Operations where manual deburring creates ergonomic risk
Typical Cell Components
Typical Cell Layout
Robot with force-controlled deburring spindle or compliant tool. Parts presented via conveyor, tray, or direct machine output. Dust collection integrated as needed.
Required Inputs
Safety Note
Force-sensing tools and enclosed work zones ensure operator safety. Dust and chip management integrated into cell design.
