Flexible Gripper Design
Whether you're running slugs or tubes, large or small diameters, OD or ID gripping schemes, tall or short parts... The DC Series gripper system is flexible enough to handle it all. And when an adjustment is required a single-tool, quick-change system ensures fast and efficient changeovers.
Give Operators an Extra Hand with Robotic Automation
Still, relying on manual lathe tending for your CNCs? Repetitive loading of raw materials and unloading of finished parts is not only time consuming, but can also be demanding of your team. The simple solution is robotic automation for your CNC lathes.
Continuous automation allows your CNC lathes to run uninterrupted around the clock, increasing efficiency and throughput. This frees operators from repetitive machine tending tasks, enabling them to focus on more complex and skilled activities that add greater value to the production process.
AWR’s machine tending robots execute tasks with high accuracy, reducing variability and human error. This results in uniformly produced parts which meet strict quality standards, crucial for many industries. Save time and effort by minimizing defects and the need for rework.
This seamless integration of robotic automation allows your CNC lathe to operate continuously with minimal downtime, significantly increasing its utilization. And, multiple drawer templates allow for parts of different sizes to be loaded at once, saving time alternating between jobs.
Robotic automation allows you to leave the repetitive and time consuming tasks to the robots. Using the icon-based touchscreen display, your operators can adjust programming functionality as needed, without the need for in-depth technical training.
