Robot & Go Solution
CRX CNC Tending Drawer System
Compact, Collaborative CNC Automation—Now With Drawers
The CRX CNC Tending Drawer System from Vention is a collaborative automation cell designed to streamline CNC machine loading and unloading for small‑ to medium‑sized parts. Built around a FANUC CRX collaborative robot and Vention’s engineered drawer system, this solution delivers consistent, unattended machine tending in a compact footprint—without turning your shop floor into a science experiment.
This system is ideal for manufacturers looking to automate repetitive CNC operations while maintaining flexibility, safety, and fast deployment.
How It Works
- The CRX cobot picks raw stock from a fixed pickup location on the top work plate.
- The robot engages the drawer handle and opens a drawer.
- Raw material is placed into the open drawer.
- The drawer is closed and the CNC process runs.
- After machining, the robot opens the drawer, retrieves the finished part, and places it back onto the top work plate.
- The cycle repeats—reliably, consistently, and without complaining about overtime.
