Flexible Gripper Design
Whether you're running slugs or tubes, large or small diameters, OD or ID gripping schemes, tall or short parts, the AWR RC gripper system is flexible enough to handle it all. When an adjustment is required, a single-tool, quick-change system ensures fast and efficient changeovers.
Never programmed a robot before? No problem! The conversational touchscreen HMI, makes new part programming, robot recovery, and calling up existing programs a breeze. Just tap to answer a few process-related questions, and you're up and running.
The AWR RC prioritizes safety without sacrificing accessibility. A combination of physical guarding and an area scanner with multiple safety zones protects operators while allowing them to access the machine tool control. The result is a safe yet unencumbered experience.
The AWR Flex Series RC and DC are designed with user-friendliness, making them exceptionally easy to operate. This ease of use, advanced software, and safety combination make the AWR Flex Series an ideal choice for a wide range of manufacturing environments.
Transform Your Job Shop with Robotic Automation
Loading and unloading parts using traditional manual processes can be time consuming and repetitive, but with the RC automation series, your operations are streamlined.
The addition of robotic automation to your CNC lathes means continuous machine tending around the clock, giving you the performance of 2nd and 3rd shifts without additional labor or additional CNC machines.
Robotic automation means machinists don’t need to be present to repeatedly load and unload parts. With the RC Series, operators can focus on high-value tasks while the automation addresses repetitive and time-consuming lathe tending operations.
Thanks to increased throughput and 24/7 operations, you’ll be able to load raw materials and unload finished parts quickly, so you can deliver high quality parts to customers.
Even the smallest variations in manual lathe tending can lead to inconsistent finished parts. Automated lathe tending ensures all parts are loaded accurately and consistently for high-quality results, even with tight tolerances, resulting in minimal waste.
