Automated CNC Machine Tending

Robotic CNC Machine Tending

The Cross automated machine tending solution is designed to operate a CNC machine tending without constant manual operator interaction. This is particularly valuable in today’s competitive labor market where it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find workers willing to consistently work repetitive, monotonous jobs.

With a relatively quick ROI period, the Cross robotic CNC machine tending solution frees up these workers to do more productive tasks (tasks that may not lend themselves to automation). This can lead to an increase in worker productivity, retention, and safety as well as increases to your bottom line.

Cross’ Automated Machine Tending Solution uses two way handshaking to communicate directly to the CNC machine. It tells the machine when to run, receives a signal when it is done, operates the tool holder, and opens/closes the doors. When purchased with the standard carts, this solution is ready for deployment as soon as it arrives, with minimal pick and place programming required.

Efficient Machine Tending Robots

Collaborative robots have enjoyed greater and greater popularity in the industrial world over the last few years. More manufacturing operations are adopting automated systems to eliminate the need for manual labor when it comes to tasks like palletizing or bin picking. This same trend is true of CNC machines, as well.

Robots for CNC machine tending are able to provide greater productivity than corresponding human operators. This is due to their ability to work faster and with greater accuracy and efficiency without the need for rest. These benefits mean savings on materials, greater overall productivity, and increased worker retention and satisfaction.

When placed correctly, automated machine tending solutions save manufacturers from more than just wasted time. They can prevent excess downtime, workplace injuries, and high worker turnover.

These are just a few of the reasons so many companies are choosing to adopt robotic CNC machine tending. At Cross Automation, we want to provide all of our customers with cutting-edge automation solutions so they can enjoy all the benefits of automation.
