Machine Tending

Repeatable robotic loading and unloading for CNC, press, moulding and inspection machines.
Roadmap — under development

Overview

Machine Tending

Package machine-tending workflows that connect robotics directly to device-level OEE. Machine-door control, clamp validation, part-presence verification and robot–machine handshakes — with cycle monitoring and utilisation built in.

Capabilities

What the product does

Load & unload

CNC loading/unloading, press and injection-moulding tending, furnace loading.

Machine handshake

Robot–machine handshake, door and chuck/clamp validation.

Part verification

Part-presence and orientation checks; tray and rack detection.

Safety-state validation

Confirm safe states before every load; failure recovery.

Cycle monitoring

Machine and robot cycle time, waiting time, load/unload duration.

Utilisation

Production count and machine utilisation surfaced in OEE.
