Machine tending
Loading and unloading lathes, machining centres, presses and measuring machines: the cobot works alongside the machine you already have and lets you produce even during unmanned shifts.
Our machine tending products
Fortek designs machine tending starting from the existing machine: interfaces, doors, cycles and logistics of incoming and outgoing parts. The result is a compact cell that is easy to move when production changes.
We keep your machines running even when there's no one on the shop floor.
A machine tool's value is measured in the hours it spends producing. Collaborative machine tending cuts downtime, frees operators from repetitive tasks and extends production across more shifts, with no need to redesign the layout.
Technology that fits what you need to do.
Start from the
machine you have
We analyse the machine's interfaces, signals and accessibility to define how the robot will communicate with it.
- CNC lathes and machining centres
- Presses and press brakes
- Measuring and testing machines
Parts in
and out
Drawers, grids, conveyors or magazines: we organise part logistics so the cell can run autonomously.
Unattended
shifts
Safety, monitoring and alarm management let you use the machine outside working hours too.
More robotics solutions
Palletising
Robots, vertical axes, gripping systems and dedicated software make it possible to meet different requirements for load, height and productivity.
Welding and laser cutting
Specialist operations such as welding and laser cutting can benefit from robotic systems that repeat paths and processes consistently.
Pick and place
Cobots, grippers, vacuum and vision systems can be combined to meet a wide range of picking and placing requirements.
Material handling and intralogistics
Autonomous mobile robots and robotic pallet jacks automate part of these flows while staying far more flexible than systems tied to fixed routes.
