Integration Automation with Machine Tending Robots

Machine tending, the loading and unloading of CNC machines, is traditionally reliant on manual labour, but this process is increasingly being automated. FANUC’s range of robots consist of:

• A wide array of payload capacities to handle diverse parts efficiently

• Precise, repeatable movements that reduce cycle times

• Easy integration with various CNC machines

We engineer bespoke robotic machine tending solutions that increase throughput and reduce labour costs. We programme FANUC robots to adapt to different part shapes and production requirements, which ensures operations remain flexible as demands evolve.

By deploying robotic machine tending systems, we accelerate production cycles, improve part consistency, and free the workforce to focus on higher-value activities.

Integration Automation with Robotic Paint Finishing for Flawless, Efficient Coatings

In automotive, aerospace, and other sectors, paint finishing demands flawless, consistent application. Manual painting often results in uneven coats, overspray, and wasted materials. In contrast, robotic paint finishing systems eliminate these issues by:

• Applying paint with precise control over thickness and coverage

• Minimising overspray and cutting paint waste

• Producing repeatable, high-quality finishes on every part

FANUC’s paint robots are engineered to deliver smooth, even coatings at scale. Our bespoke paint finishing automation solutions integrate FANUC robots with optimised booth layouts and advanced control software, ensuring efficient, uniform paint application.

Consequently, by partnering with ASA, finish quality is enhanced, operating costs are lowered, throughput is increased, and operator exposure to hazardous substances is reduced.

Robotic Welding with Integration Automation

Welding involves repetitive, hazardous, and highly precise work. FANUC’s Arc Mate robots, including models 100iD and 120iC, deliver world-class welding performance by:

• Performing accurate, consistent welds for superior joint quality

• Handling complex weld paths with flexible programming

• Increasing safety by automating dangerous welding tasks

We design and integrate robotic welding solutions into production lines, which boosts consistency, reduces cycle times, and enables real-time quality monitoring. As a result, we reduce rework and downtime.

By implementing bespoke robotic welding systems, we improve weld quality, safeguard workers, and ramp up productivity, which provides a clear competitive advantage.
