FLEX-CUSTOM: Enhancing Standard Automation for CNC Machine Tending
Taking Standard Automation a Step Further

Explored AWR's Flex Series and Plus Series, but none of the solutions fit your specific needs and budget? The Flex-Custom bridges that gap from ready-to-deploy automation to pre-engineered solutions, providing manufacturers with precisely configured automation.
Designed for efficiency and reliability, the AWR Flex-Custom units allow for customized features while maintaining ease of use and optimal productivity. Any of the Flex Series CNC machine tending units (DC, RC, and RCX) can be enhanced with custom features to accommodate unique part types.
Customize an AWR Flex Series Automation Solution
Not ready to integrate the pre-configured AWR Plus Series or a fully tailored machine tending automation cell? The AWR Flex-Custom Series provides manufacturers with a competitive edge by incorporating custom options onto any AWR Flex Series while maintaining its standard CNC machine tending robotics configuration. Below are often requested modified options that take the Flex Series to the Flex-Custom Series.
Customized Templates
AWR engineers customized templates for the Flex Custom Series and will design them specifically to your manufacturing requirements.
CNC Machine Type
AWR designed the machine tending DC and RC for lathes and the RCX for mills, which can be engineered to operate on a different type of CNC machine.
Peripherals
Does your CNC machine tending automation system require a secondary device to operate efficiently - a part washer, inspection device, part marker, etc.?
