The EcoTender is a super fast, sturdy, reliable and easy-to-use fully autonomous robotic machine tending system.  And, for about the same cost as a machine operator, it can pay for itself in less than a year.  It can increase productivity by 35% or more by running faster and more consistently all shift long without tardiness, sudden job abandonment, turnover, breaks, errors, scrap, fatigue, or safety concerns, only stopping to unload/re-load workpieces and change inserts.  (Turning Center not included).
