Effectively Handle Complex Parts

No need for gripper changes with MultiGrip™ jaws designed to quickly load and unload parts of all shapes and sizes, mimicking a hand-loaded process. This revolutionary automation technology transfers and turns parts by gripping the workholding rather than the product, ensuring any type of part can be milled from any side or angle for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing applications.

Programming-Free Interface

Never programmed a robot before? No problem! New part programming, robot recovery, and calling up existing programs are all a breeze with the RCX Series conversational, touchscreen HMI. We automated the core of the programming process, including the length and diameter offset procedure, so there's no need to teach points. Just tap to answer a few process-related questions, and you're up and running.

Safe & Accessible Operation

The RCX Series prioritizes safety without sacrificing accessibility. A combination of physical guarding and an area scanner with multiple safety zones protects operators while allowing them to access the machine tool control. The result is a safe yet unencumbered experience.
