Hillary Machinery supplies and integrates FANUC industrial robots and collaborative robots for manufacturing automation. As a FANUC Authorized Systems Integrator, we develop the robot application in-house around the equipment, parts and production requirements.

FANUC Industrial Robots

FANUC offers robot configurations for machine loading, part transfer, palletizing and processing tasks. The appropriate arm depends on the complete tooling load, movement path and time available to perform the operation.

FANUC CRX Collaborative Robots

CRX cobots provide hand-guided teaching and a touchscreen programming interface for applications that benefit from frequent operator interaction. Evaluate the full task when selecting the robot and safeguarding arrangement.

In-House FANUC Integration

Hillary Machinery brings robot programming, grippers, fixtures, machine communication and part flow into one application review. We support manufacturing projects across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee.

Choose the FANUC Robot Around the Task

For CNC tending, examine the exchange sequence at the machine door. For palletizing, establish product stability and the most demanding placement location. For material removal, define the tool contact and finish requirements. These tasks can require different arm configurations even when the workpiece weight is similar.

Application Details That Affect Selection

  • Tooling load: gripper or process tool weight, workpiece weight and load offset.
  • Reach: approach angles and clearance at every station.
  • Timing: robot travel, gripping, machine access and process delays.
  • Part variation: how incoming components are located and checked.
  • Changeovers: tooling changes, saved jobs and operator instructions.
  • Acceptance: output, part quality and recovery requirements to demonstrate before handover.

FANUC Robotics FAQs

Can one FANUC robot tend more than one machine?

It may be possible when reach and cycle timing allow. Compare a complete schedule of robot and machine activity to identify waiting time and conflicts before selecting the layout.

Can automation be added to a CNC machine already in production?

Review the machine interface, door operation, workholding and loading access. The application may require modifications to these elements as well as robot installation.
