Bring safe, flexible and repeatable automation to your milling operation. VersaBuilt’s Mill Automation System with FANUC CRX and Zero Point System (ZPS) technology combines collaborative simplicity with precision workholding–delivering fast changeovers, high-mix adaptability, and reliable, lights-out performance without requiring robot programming or complex integration.
VersaBuilt’s Mill Automation System with ZPS Zero-Point Vise and Pallet technologies combines precision workholding with collaborative automation to boost efficiency, reduce labor strain, and simplify CNC operations. By integrating FANUC’s CRX collaborative cobot with VersaBuilt’s ZPS workholding, shops gain a higher-reliability, high-efficiency solution for single-operation milling–without the complexity of traditional robotics.
Running high-mix, multi-operation parts doesn’t have to mean multiple setups or endless re-indicating. VersaBuilt’s Mill Automation System with FANUC CRX + ZPS delivers safe, flexible, and repeatable automation designed specifically for real machinists.
With CRX + ZPS, you can:
Automate CNC milling without operator intervention.
Eliminate regrip stations and manual re-touching.
Standardize fixtures and datums across jobs.
Run reliably with no robot programming.
It’s the ideal solution for job shops and manufacturers looking to automate without the complexity of traditional robotics.
Our automation software is designed from the ground up for CNC milling. All robot motion is pre-programmed yet fully customizable. Simply enter your part dimensions and CNC milling program numbers, then enjoy the benefits of automation immediately.
Forget about complex coding–our system eliminates that requirement entirely. Create and save part configurations with a simple form on the user interface. Input size, weight, and process options, then select a saved part, load material onto the VersaCart, and hit Cycle Start. It’s that simple.
Configuring new parts has never been easier–or faster. Using a web-based form, machinists can set up a new job in minutes. Once the configuration is saved, operators can load the raw material and start the automation process with one click.
Wheather you’re machining high-mix or dedicated parts, the Mill Automation System ensures a hassle-free, scalable automation experience at an affordable price.
1) Stage & Load – Operators stage raw or pre-fixtured material on ZPS pallets at a VersaCart.
2) Collaborative Tend – The FANUC CRX cobot loads the ZPS pallet into the mill; the zero-point system located precisely to the same datum every time.
3) Run & Swap – When machining is complete, the cobot unloads and swaps pallets automatically–no manual touchpoints required.
Result: Faster changeovers, consistent quality, and reduced downtime across every job.
Safe, teach-by-hand operation with proven FANUC reliability
Quick-release clamping and repeatable palletized fixturing
Simplified user interface for fast setup and operation
Direct CNC communication for program select, cycle start and feedback
Opens and closes your CNC door automatically for seamless robotic tending.
Organizes raw and finished parts for efficient robot loading and unloading.
Blasts chips and coolant off parts before unload. No manual cleaning needed.
The Mill Automation System is a ready-to-go, pre-engineered product–made by machinists for machinists. Most installation are completed and running parts within one day, getting your automation up faster than any other system available.
Every system includes in-depth training courses tailored to operators, machinists, and installers. Sessions are hosted via live video conference and typically last one to two hours. With included remote support, ongoing software updates, and continuous process assistance, VersaBuilt ensures your team is equipped for success.
At VersaBuilt, we build automation systems for machinists, no integrators. That means:
The FANUC CRS + ZPS Mill Automation System delivers safe, felxible, and fully repeatable CNC milling automation–without complexity.
