Midland Robotics specializes in providing machine tending services using their expertise in robotics. With years of experience, they are able to customize and interface their robots with your existing machines, and create custom end effectors to handle the job efficiently. If you have a high cycle time, Midland Robotics offers a solution where their robots can tend to multiple machines on a linear track simultaneously.

Machine tending is a common application for collaborative robots, and it involves loading and/or unloading machines with parts or materials. Traditionally, this task has been done by human workers in machine shops that use CNC machines. However, with the scarcity of skilled workers, companies are now turning to robots to tend to their machines.

Robotics machine-tending services provide endless and consistent production, assuming the robot receives raw parts and the machine produces quality parts. Using robots for machine tending enables companies to reduce cycle time and continuously run production even when human workers are not available. Some industries may also use robots for specific steps in production, such as emptying injection-molding machines.
