Used AWR Automatic Machine Tending Robotic Cell Model DC-2 with Fanuc M-20iD/25 Robot – Automated CNC Machine Loading System

Manufacturer

AWR (Automated Workholding & Robotics)

Product Overview

The Used AWR Automatic Machine Tending Robotic Cell, Model DC-2 is a fully integrated robotic automation system designed to maximize CNC machine productivity through continuous, unattended machine tending. Featuring a Fanuc M-20iD/25 industrial robot with an R-30iB Mate Plus controller, this robotic cell automates the loading and unloading of machined parts while maintaining consistent cycle times and reducing labor requirements.

Designed for flexible manufacturing environments, the DC-2 includes four high-capacity storage drawers capable of accommodating multiple part sizes for extended production runs. A three-finger electric gripper provides secure handling of finished and raw components, while the integrated safety barrier offers operator protection during automated operation.

Built in 2021, this robotic cell is well suited for manufacturers seeking to increase spindle uptime, improve production consistency, and reduce manual handling in CNC machining operations.
