Automation

Tri-V Tool and Manufacturing Co. doesn't turn down work or shy away from challenging parts. To meet customer demands, they’ve added more-sophisticated and advanced horizontal machining centers, an automated pallet system and multi-tasking part processing from Mazak. These updates help keep their shop competitive and profitable.

This video supplement to the Robotics Results column (formerly Cobotics Corner) in the August 2021 issue of Cutting Tool Engineering magazine demonstrates how one shop increased productivity 43% by introducing a RoboJob NV Turn-Assist 200i on a Haas Automation ST-20SS CNC machine. 

Craig Zoberis, founder and president of Fusion OEM/RoboJob-USA, Burr Ridge, Illinois, writes the Robotics Results column for CTE and supplies monthly video clips demonstrating different automation solutions.

The sixth episode of this Cobotics Corner video series demonstrates the use of a Universal Robots UR5e arm with a  Schunk three-finger gripper loading and unloading a Haas Automation SL-20 CNC machine. This automation solution reportedly helped increase productivity by 41%, according to Fusion OEM.
