Hillary Machinery offers YC RoboTech LABOT systems for automating CNC part loading and unloading. Developed by Youngchang Robotech, LABOT combines robotic handling, material storage and operator controls in a machine-tending package.

LABOT Storage Configurations

LABOT SD uses drawers to organize workpieces, while LABOT MT presents parts on a turntable. The choice depends on the component shape, usable storage capacity and how operators replenish blanks and remove completed parts.

Smart-EZ Controls

Smart-EZ provides a visual interface for setting up handling sequences. Review the proposed system with your actual jobs to establish the required trays, grippers and changeover steps.

YC RoboTech Application Support

Hillary Machinery helps match the loading package to the CNC machine, workholding and production schedule. Our in-house automation team can evaluate the interfaces and supporting equipment required for the application.

Match Part Storage to the Production Run

A storage position is useful only if the robot can reach and grip the part reliably. Establish blank dimensions, spacing and finished-part locations before estimating batch capacity. Include any station needed to turn the component over between operations.

Review a full replenishment cycle with the operator. Material loading, completed-part removal and job changes should remain practical within the proposed floor layout.

Review the CNC Interface

  • Machine access: door opening, robot approach and clearance with the gripper installed.
  • Workholding: automatic clamping, part seating and confirmation signals.
  • Communication: signals for machine readiness, cycle completion and fault recovery.
  • Handling: blank orientation, chip clearing and finished-part placement.
  • Operation: job selection, replenishment and recovery after an interrupted exchange.

YC RoboTech FAQs

Can LABOT be added to an existing CNC machine?

Yes, most of the time.  Compatibility must be checked for the specific machine. Door access, available control signals and automatic workholding determine the integration work needed.

How many parts can the system run before replenishment?

Calculate capacity using the actual tray or drawer layout and component size. Tool life, chip accumulation and inspection intervals may require attention before the stored blanks are exhausted.

Does selecting a cobot eliminate the need for guarding?

The complete application determines the safeguarding required. Review the robot, gripper, part and access to the CNC machine together.
