The EZ-Bot automatic work changer enables efficient blank part handling, vise handling, pallet handling, and automatic setup results in maximum machine running times while minimizing the time strain on skilled workers. The loading robot with vertical double rack enables full-time parallel loading with minimum space requirements. The EZ-Bot makes it easy to optimize your workflow with pre-set machining tasks without manual set-up. You can store your machining tasks already pre-equipped on mobile racks. A large number of jobs with different clamping devices and workpieces can be kept “ready to start” and immediately clocked in as required. Via job management, these are combined as desired and processed with all necessary set-up processes. So, manual set-up times are a thing of the past. Watch the video to see the EZ-Bot in action.

The EZ-Bot represents a significant leap in machine shop automation, combining collaborative robotics with high-density part storage. Designed for shops looking to maximize their existing equipment, the EZ-Bot system automates the loading and unloading of CNC machines, allowing skilled operators to focus on higher-value tasks like programming and setup.

Key Performance Benefits

  • Uninterrupted Workflow: Enable true “lights-out” manufacturing by allowing the EZ-Bot to manage production runs overnight or during shifts when staffing is limited.

  • High-Density Storage: The integrated vertical rack system allows for a large volume of parts to be staged in a compact footprint, maximizing your available floor space.

  • Rapid Deployment: Unlike traditional fixed industrial robots, the EZ-Bot is designed for relatively quick integration with your current CNC lathes and mills.

  • Parallel Processing: The system is engineered to handle workpieces efficiently, minimizing the time the spindle is idle during part changeovers.

Versatile Automation for Diverse Applications

The EZ-Bot is engineered to handle various workholding and part types, making it an ideal choice for a variety of industries:

  • Aerospace: Precise handling of high-value, complex components.

  • Medical: Efficient processing of small, high-tolerance medical instruments and implants.

  • Automotive: High-speed tending for drivetrain and engine components.

  • General Engineering: Scalable automation for job shops managing diverse part runs.

Maximized Machine Utilization

By implementing the EZ-Bot, facilities can see a dramatic increase in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). The robot ensures consistent cycle times and eliminates the variability associated with manual part loading. This consistency not only boosts throughput but also leads to more predictable production schedules and improved delivery timelines for your customers.
