How The Lathe Automation System Increases Production
Has a labor shortage affected production output in your shop?
We understand that you are struggling to hire machinists or CNC operators. This is why we help machine shops mitigate operator labor shortages by increasing the productivity of their existing staff.
The CNC Lathe Automation System requires no robot programming. With the included training package, your existing team can use the Lathe Automation System like other tools in your shop; without relying on expensive robot system integrators, saving you time and money.
No Robot Programming Required
Easy-to-use automation software designed from the ground-up for CNC lathe automation. All robot motion is pre-programmed yet customizable. Simply enter part dimensions and CNC lathe program numbers, and enjoy the benefits of CNC automation. VersaBuilt’s Lathe Automation System is easy to use, installs quickly and has the lowest cost of adding new parts to automation in the industry.
Perfect for High Mix Production
Configuring new parts for automation has never been easier or faster—Perfect for high-mix productions! Users can configure a new part in just a few minutes. Using a web-based form, users define the part configuration parameters (e.g., length, width, height, process type, CNC program number), select saved part configuration, and then runs the part.
DuoGripper: Maximize Productivity, Process any Part
VersaBuilt’s Double-Headed Gripper increases processing efficiency by allowing the robot to unload a completed part and load the next part in a single motion inside the lathe.
VersaBuilt’s DuoGripper dedicates one gripper to the raw material and one gripper to the finished part. Each gripper can be precisely adapted to optimally grip both the raw material and the finished part, allowing the Lathe Automation System to process virtually any part easily and reliably.
Ready To Produce In 1 Day
The Lathe Automation System can be installed and running parts in just one to two days. This system is a ready-to-go product designed by machinists for machinists to get your automation running faster than any other automation system available.
Quality In-Depth Training And Support
The CNC Lathe Automation System includes in-depth training courses tailored to the operator, machinist, and installer. The classes will take place over a video conference call and will typically last one to two hours each. This training will get your team and new system ready to automate as soon as possible.
VersaBuilt customers typically report a doubling of production output using half the labor.
