AWR standardizes CNC machine tending with OnRobot electric grippers to speed changeovers

In the evolving landscape of high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, companies are increasingly recognizing the need for flexibility in production to maintain profitability. Automation Within Reach (AWR), previously known as Gosiger Automation, is addressing this challenge by introducing advanced automation solutions that enhance the adaptability of machine shops. Traditionally reliant on pneumatic systems, many manufacturers have struggled with the limitations of these older technologies, which lack the intelligence necessary for modern operations. AWR's innovative approach aims to equip manufacturers with the tools needed to seamlessly transition between various part sizes, thereby improving efficiency and competitiveness in a rapidly changing market. This shift towards smarter automation is crucial for manufacturers seeking to thrive in an environment where agility is key to success.
