AWR standardizes CNC machine tending with OnRobot electric grippers to speed changeovers
In the fast-paced world of high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, the ability to pivot between different part sizes is the difference between profitability and stagnation. For many years, machine shops have been tethered to pneumatic systems that, while functional, lacked the intelligence and adaptability required for modern automation. Automation Within Reach (AWR, formerly Gosiger Automation), a specialist […]
The increasing demand for agility in manufacturing, particularly in high-mix, low-volume production, necessitates more adaptable automation solutions than traditional pneumatic systems.
This move highlights the growing need for intelligent, quick-change automation to maintain competitiveness and profitability in modern manufacturing, moving away from rigid legacy systems.
CNC machine tending is becoming more agile and efficient through the integration of smart electric grippers, enabling faster changeovers and higher adaptability for diverse production needs.
