Machining or machine tending robots offer extreme flexibility, speed and reliability. Maximize productivity with a robotic machine tending solution.
The machining industry – including capital equipment like lathes, mills, machining centers, forges, presses, and injection molding machines – has been the backbone of manufacturing. It is unlikely that any job shops or manufacturing plants have not invested in this technology.
Automating these machines gives manufacturers clear advantages in terms of utilization, secondary processes, labor resources, and productivity. Anytime a machine sits idle or an operator isn’t available to support it, that equates to lost productivity and profits.
FANUC’s robotic machine tending solutions and software make it easy to connect your equipment and improve throughput and overall equipment effectiveness for most machine tending applications.
From collaborative robots to robotic arms, our solutions are designed to help you get the most out of your machines by automating them with little to no down time.
With a wide range of tool changing station mounting options, including top mounting, some industrial robot types serve as highly efficient tool changers. Capable of working with a huge range of tools, these models can handle any number of tools regardless of their weight.
Increase Task Throughput Robots are invaluable when it comes to supporting injection molding machines. From part removal, to sprue cutting, degating, labeling, laser marking, and adding inserts, they increase throughput across a varied range of tasks while negating the risk of damage.
