Precision machining paired with automation and robotics can offer unprecedented levels of speed, accuracy and quality control for manufacturing processes. Automation can also help companies advance to more lights-out production as well develop a continuous-improvement mindset that can enable increased efficiencies in numerous areas.

Every month, we’re putting together a Technology Showcase, highlighting some of the product information that PM receives from supplier companies. For February, we focused on automation and robots, including a machine tending robotic cell featuring portability, easy setup and programming; air rest buttons using pneumatic position control to properly detect workpiece loading in a fixture; an automatic door opening solution for robotic machine tending that can be fitted to any CNC machine in under an hour; and more as described below.

For the latest new products across the broad spectrum of precision machining, check out Production Machining’s New Products online.
