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.

MultiGrip™

AWR-FLEXSERIES-RCX-MULTIGRIP-EOAT-02-600x600

Starting at $154,000

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

 

Pallet Cleat

AWR-FLEXSERIES-RCXPALLET-5THAXIS-03-250x250-web

Starting at $150,500

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.

AWR-FLEXSERIES-RCX-GRIPPER-GRAPHIC-WEB-2026

RCX End-of-Arm Tooling

Run unattended for extended periods Keep your spindles cutting beyond scheduled staffed shifts without operator involvement between cycles.
Eliminate manual loading and unloading between cycles Reduce worker involvement by automating part presentation and transfer directly at the machine.
Standardize Part Presentation for Repeatability Ensure consistent, predictable loading every cycle, whether handling raw parts with MultiGrip™ or palletized parts with the cleat.
Supports high-mix or structured workflows on one platform Use the same RCX unit to provide flexible part variation or pallet-based consistency, depending on how your shop actually runs.
Increase machine utilization without adding labor Increase production throughput by automating your machines and eliminating operator intervention.
