Smarter CNC Machine Tending with Next-Generation Electric Part Handling

Why AWR's Electric Part Handling Is the
Future of CNC Automation


Automation Within Reach engineers robotic automation that’s both robust and remarkably simple to run. Manufacturers need systems that adapt quickly, perform reliably, and keep maintenance to a minimum — and AWR's electric part handling is built to do exactly that.

By replacing pneumatics with electric gripping technology, we’ve streamlined changeovers, removed frequent points of failure, and given operators tighter, more consistent control over part handling. The result is a more stable, predictable automation environment that stays on track, regardless of what your production schedule throws at it.

Introducing AWR's Part Handling Solution

AWR’s electric part handling solution is powered by the OnRobot 3FG25, a heavy-duty, fully electric three-finger gripper engineered for CNC machine tending environments. Its three-point contact design automatically centers each part, delivering a strong, repeatable, and stable grip that keeps components secure from pickup to placement. This precise control helps ensure accurate loading into the machine, reduces misloads and scrap, and supports consistent, high-quality machining even in high-mix or unattended production.

Key Capabilities:

  • Flexible production: One wide-stroke three-finger gripper handles multiple CNC lathe tending part sizes, reducing tool changes

  • Precise, consistent loading: Centric positioning improves part accuracy, repeatability, and throughput with minimal programming

  • Quick redeployment: Three contact points provide a stable grip that makes switching between parts fast and simple

  • Adaptable gripping: Interchangeable fingertips support a broad range of part sizes and geometries for greater flexibility

The 3FG25 brings together high gripping force, flexibility, and industrial durability. An ideal fit for shops running mixed-model production, demanding CNC workflows, or seeking more reliable unattended machining.

How Electric Grippers Improve CNC Productivity

AWR’s next-generation electric part handling solution puts adaptable, consistent, high-uptime automation within reach for manufacturers who need to stay ahead in a rapidly shifting market. With this technology, CNC shops can react faster to changing production demands, maintain part quality, and confidently scale their operations.
