CNC automation moves fast. It hustles. All systems do, whether you’re using a new bar feeder, your tenth cobot, or a trusted automatic pallet changer that’s seen a few different machine-tool pairings over its time. Because of automation, increasing productivity is as easy as ever. Unattended loading and unloading operations maintain a consistently impressive pace, even when handling heavy parts, ensuring continuous workflows and shorter lead times. And from start to finish, from raw materials to smooth surfaces, part production speeds are higher than they’ve ever been before.
Automation is the way forward. It’s how shops become more successful today — and how they stay successful in the future. So, to manage the rising influx of orders against a steadily shrinking workforce, manufacturing enterprises and job shops are integrating automation into their processes quickly.
But speed doesn’t matter unless you’re moving in the right direction. Without careful consideration for automation systems themselves — and for how, when, and where each fit into your operations best — productivity, efficiency, and returns are limited.
