Flexxbotics has announced the launch of FlexxTend, a turnkey automated machine-tending solution for machine shops to automate CNC machines. Flexxbotics designs the platform to the user’s specification, and its team can be onsite integrating, validating and training 6 weeks later.
FlexxTend provides rapid design and integration so cobots can go into production quickly, increasing machine utilization and accelerating time to ROI. The company’s team handles integration, letting the user focus on production. Users can maximize functionality of the machine-tending setup by leveraging all the automation features of the CNC, cobot and online services to enable lights-out manufacturing.
Tyler Bouchard, co-founder and CEO at Flexxbotics, says, “One of the key benefits of FlexxTend is that it gives us direct access to the systems so we can recognize downtime, troubleshoot issues and provide direct changes to programs, all remotely. It’s like all of our customers have a Flexxbotics Automation engineer onsite all the time.” Bouchard adds, “The FlexxTend platform optimizes the design of your work cell so you can handle multiple parts, conduct rapid changeover and run lights-out manufacturing.”
