Case Study: Fusion OEM Doubles CNC Production Capacity with Robotiq Machine Tending

Fusion OEM doubles CNC production capacity with Robotiq and automates 9 machines

Fusion OEM, an award-winning CNC systems integrator for the aerospace industry, faced challenges in recruiting skilled machinists and sought to increase productivity in its Chicago-area machine shop. To overcome this, they turned to Robotiq for a machine tending automation solution.

Robotiq implemented a solution using four Universal Robots equipped with Robotiq's Hand-E Adaptive Grippers, Force Copilot software, and Insights monitoring software. This automation of nine CNC machines doubled production capacity, reduced delivery delays by 50%, and made running a job four times cheaper than manual operation. The Robotiq system was also noted for being collaborative, easy to program, and increasing consistency by reducing human error.
