ONE INTERFACE FOR YOUR ENTIRE FLEX SERIES

Let's Talk Automation

QuickTouch for Flex Series: Fast Setup, Faster Payback

Experience the power of consistency.

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

Flex Series QuickTouch Advantages

QuickTouch is engineered for simple, reliable operation. The intuitive touchscreen, easy drop-down menus, and stored part-specific data minimize prompts and data entry, so operators can move faster with fewer steps. The result: significantly shorter setup times while preserving each cell’s unique capabilities and performance.

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 removing common HMI bottlenecks, manufacturers unlock higher productivity, stronger ROI, and a clear competitive advantage. Stop tying your best people to a teach pendant and let them run your process, not your robot.

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 teaching the robot once per part type - one setup for picking, loading, unloading, and placing.

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.

See How QuickTouch Simplifies Machine Tending

QuickTouch is AWR's operator-focused HMI that replaces complex robot programming with a clear, guided interface. From part setup to recovery, operators follow simple prompts that make CNC machine tending easier to run, easier to repeat, and easier to scale. All without relying on a teach pendant or robotics experience.

The result is faster changeovers, reduced downtime, and a consistent way to run automation across machines, shifts, and skill levels.
