Robot CNC Tending: Freeing Operators to Program, Not Babysit Machines

In this demo, a robot manages a CNC mill with a lightweight 80/20 frame, smaller vice, and off-the-shelf, showing how adaptable automation can be across brands like DMG Mori, Haas, Okuma and more. The true value isn’t just precision or reliability — it’s how this setup frees operators from repetitive loading tasks, giving them time to program other machines, optimize tooling, and add real value to the shop floor. With affordable CNC automation, shops can maximize spindle hours, reduce idle labor, and reallocate skilled machinists to higher-impact work. If you’re considering cobot CNC tending to boost productivity and ROI, this video shows exactly how it works in practice.
