Application: Machine Tending
Tend It
Motion Controls Robotics can help you develop a system to automate your CNC machines, improving your competitiveness. Motion Controls Robotics has developed and installed CNC machine tending systems that feed robots by a conveyor or chest of drawers which can be loaded up and stocked on Friday so you can leave your machine working all weekend for you. Come back to work Monday with completed parts in the same chest of drawers. These systems work without any team members over the weekend and allows your talented team to set up runs for CNC machines versus loading and unloading machines.
