Flex Series RCX Automated Mill Tending Solution
Eliminate manual mill tending by automating larger CNC payloads with the RCX Series. Implementing robotic automation into your workflow lets you run lights-out without adding labor, handle high-mix parts with fewer changeovers, and increase your machine utilization immediately.
Who the RCX Mill Tending System Is Designed For
High-mix, variable-part CNC environments that require flexibility
Production workflows that benefit from consistent, repeatable part presentation
Shops looking to reduce manual machine tending and operator dependancy
Manufacturers aiming to increase spindle utilization and run unattended
Two Ways to Automate the RCX
The RCX Series platform supports two proven mill-tending approaches.
Both deliver unattended operation. The right choice depends on how your shop runs.
Best fit if you:
- Run multiple part families across the week or month
- Machine parts that vary in size, geometry, or orientation
- Experience frequent changeovers that need to stay simple
- Prioritizes flexibility and adaptability on your shop floor
Why manufacturers choose MultiGrip™:
- Handles a wide range of part shapes without changing grippers
- Reduces setup complexity in high-mix environments
- Supports evolving production schedules
Best fit if you:
- Use 96mm pallets today, or plan to standardize them
- Run consistent part types per pallet
- Prefer a set-and-repeat approach over re-gripping logic
- Value reliable repeatability and predictable handling
Why manufacturers choose Pallet Cleat:
- Maintains consistent part orientation throughout the process
- Compatible with any 96mm pull stud pallet brand
- Ideal for organized, repeatable pallet workflows
Transform Your CNC Manufacturing Process with Automated Mill Tending Solutions
Traditional machine tending creates bottlenecks, such as variable parts and the challenge of finding skilled labor. The Flex Series RCX platform enables consistent, unattended CNC milling by automating part handling with its two workholding configurations: MultiGrip™ or Pallet Cleat.
