Is CNC Machine Tending Right for Your Shop?

If you have a CNC with an automatic tool changer, hydraulic chuck, rotary table, or bar feeder, then you have already been investing in automating your processes to reduce labor and handling costs and increase productivity, efficiency and profitability.  CNC robotic machine tending is just another way of doing the same thing.

Successful shops have been automating for years, right?  Each time they added a new piece of equipment, chances are it was more advanced than the last piece of equipment they purchased.  They had to learn and implement it just like they did when they got their 1st CNC, CAD/CAM system, NC rotary table, bar feeder, probes, etc., so why would you hesitate adding robotic automation?

You shouldn't.  Adding machine tending robotics is just the next form of automation you will need to add for your shop to stay competitive and profitable in the future because your competitors are already adding it to reduce costs and stay competitive and your customers are taking notice.

The key is partnering with the right robotic systems integrator who can engineer, integrate, train and support you locally, just like you've been doing all along.
