Build a Leaner, More Flexible, Highly Adaptable Workplace with Better Automation
Reduce your need for costly human labor, eliminate safety risks to your workforce, and improve the throughput, scalability, and accuracy of your operations with automated systems to load and unload your presses, machinery, and products.
Improved Efficiency and Productivity
Robotic machine tending, press tending, and part load/unload systems can run through a night shift or over the weekend without human supervision, unlocking superior productivity and efficiency gains.
Safer Workplaces for Your Employees
Loading and unloading CNC machines present huge safety risks for your employees. Our automated press tending and machine tending systems eliminate the risks of repetitive motion injuries or burns.
Higher Quality Products
With robotic systems handling your machine, press, and parts loading and unloading, you reduce risks of handling damage, improve product consistency, and ensure more satisfied customers.

Robotic Machine Tending Resources
Tech Talk: LR Mate Robot Loading Unloading Kitako-Shimada
Kitako-Shimada machining cells are especially useful in the manufacturing of auto parts. In this case study, our customer needed a system to load and unload their machining cells as well as identify parts with a reliable vision system.
Tech Talk: Robot Places Well Tanks on Overhead Conveyor
Placing storage tanks onto a moving conveyor is risky business for human operators—so why not have a machine do it? Discover how we built a robotic machine tending system for safer, more efficient loading and unloading.
Tech Talk: Robots on Rails
By expanding your load/unload robots’ range of movement, a judicious application of rails can enable one robot to do the work of two, optimizing your process efficiency with less floorspace and fewer maintenance requirements.
