ONE INTERFACE,
THREE SOLUTIONS:
FLEX SERIES QUICKTOUCH

QuickTouch for Flex Series: Fast Setup, Faster Payback

Experience the power of consistency.

Automation Within Reach has seamlessly integrated its CNC machine tending human-machine interface (HMI) throughout the entire
Flex Series product lineup, which includes the DC, RC, and RCX units. This unification enhances user experience by providing a consistent and intuitive interface, making it easier for operators to interact with and control the various options in the series.

Flex Series QuickTouch Advantages

AWR designed the QuickTouch with simplicity and efficiency in mind, ensuring it is user-friendly and has an intuitive touchscreen. It features drop-down menus and stored part-specific data to minimize prompts and reduce the need to input data. Ultimately, the QuickTouch decreases setup time while maintaining each system's unique capabilities.

Automation Simplified - Minutes vs. Seconds

Save Time in Your CNC Machine Tending Operations

The user-friendly QuickTouch interface dramatically reduces setup and recovery time, allowing your team to focus on higher-value tasks such as quality control or process optimization. By eliminating these common HMI bottlenecks, manufacturers experience increased productivity and revenue growth while gaining a competitive edge. Don't let your operators spend valuable time using the teach pendant!

What is the probability of your operators interacting with the robot teach pendant per day?

Typically, the teach pendant is required for many processes in CNC machine tending automation. For example:

   •   The operator must teach the robot new pick-and-place points for every single part.
   •   When an accident occurs, the operator must manually move the robot to a safe restart position.

Imagine only teaching the robot once how to pick, load, unload, and place the part.

AWR utilizes a dynamic point to allow the operator to make one or two button clicks, and the robot is back to a safe restart. 

   •   You no longer need to backtrack the robot's moves after an accident. Just press a couple of buttons, and the robot will automatically return to a safe position.
   •   The QuickTouch provides the operator with a user alarm message and informs them on how to recover.
