Machine Tending

Machine tending is the process of loading parts in and out of a machine. Integrating an industrial robot into your process is a great alternative to machine tending by a human operator. Our 20+ years of experience of building machine tending solutions has contributed to our ability to maximize efficiency of your system by analyzing parts accumulation between stations, part traceability, automated reject part strategy, and error recovery.

Wauseon Machine builds automated solutions for:

• CNC machine tools
• Injection molding machines
• Presses such as stamping, press brake, C-Frame, and 4-column
• Tube benders
• Laser markers
• Tube end formers
• New and existing equipment

Feeding products to your automation is an extremely critical component of any machine tending cell. Wauseon Machine is an expert with the following part feeding methods:

• 2D vision location
• 3D bin picking
• Feeder bowls
• Drawer systems
• Palletized conveyor

Several variables affect the success of a machine automation project. Working with a robot integrator will prompt critical thinking and surface answers to questions you may not think to ask. Whether you have a defined scope for a project or are just getting started, contact us today.
