Perhaps the biggest mistake we see customers making when transitioning to CNC automation is going with an out-of-state or inexperienced supplier. We see this all the time, and we often get calls from companies needing service and support on the CNC automation systems they purchased from an out-of-state integrator o...

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 s...

A turning center is a machine that performs precision machining operations, such as turning, multi-tasking, and sub-spindle capabilities. Turning centers are used to produce parts for a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction, and medical.

A Swiss turning center is a type of CNC lathe that produces small, intricate parts with high precision. It's also known as a Swiss-style lathe or sliding headstock machine.

"Tool Room CNC" refers to a CNC machine, typically a mill or lathe within a manufacturing facility, where specialized tools like jigs, fixtures, and dies are made, repaired, and stored; these machines are designed for high precision work, frequent tool changes, and often utilize conversational programming

Horizontal bandsaws hold the workpiece stationary while the blade swings down through the cut. This configuration is used to cut long materials such as pipe or bar stock to length. Thus it is an important part of the facilities in most machine shops.

A 2-axis CNC lathe is a computer numerical control (CNC) machine with two linear axes that can perform basic turning operations. It's the most basic type of CNC lathe and is used to create simple, symmetrical parts.

Live tools are cutting tools that are mounted on a CNC lathe's turret and are driven independently of the workpiece. They are also known as driven tooling.

A 5-axis machining center is a CNC machine that can move a tool in five different directions at once. These machines are used to shape parts by rotating a tool around the X, Y, and Z axes, as well as the A and B axes.

An automated machining center is a machining center with an automatic pallet changer (or APC) that unloads finished parts and replaces them with blank parts ready to machine in seconds, thus optomizing the the spindle's uptime and production.

A bridge mill is a vertical machining center with a fully supported, extended Y-axis (with the option for fixed angle or 5-axis heads). A bridge mill is constructed with a base/bed casting and a one-piece bridge structure that is bolted to the bed.

A cobot machine tending system is a robotic system that uses collaborative robots (cobots) to load and unload production machines. Cobots are designed to work safely with humans, and are used in manufacturing to increase productivity and improve product quality.
