Automated machine tending: How to save 23 % on production costs and increase throughput by 43 %

Toolcraft, a small machine shop in Seattle, Washington, was immediately won over by the 30 micron repeatability and built-in force/torque sensing in Universal Robots’ line of cobots.

The company needed to automate a challenging, three-operation machine tending task inside its CNC machine and has now saved 23 percent on production costs and increased throughput by 43 percent by using the UR5e cobot.

We use the PHD connect on our co-bots too, the built in valving from MAC valves makes it extremely clean and reliable too.

Fun fact, you don't need any UR Cap softare to run a PneuConnnect gripper on the robot.
