TendCell: standard robotic cells for CNC machine tending
TendCell is a family of standard robotic cells for loading and unloading workpieces on CNC lathes and mills. Four versions, 80C, 100C, 300C and 600C, range from a compact mobile cell for a first step into automation to tending several machines at once. Because the design is standardised, deployment is faster and simpler than with a cell designed from scratch.

How robotic machine tending works
The robot removes the finished part from the machine, loads a new blank in its place and puts the finished part on the cell output. The machine runs without an operator standing by; the operator only tops up blanks and collects finished parts from time to time.
- 1Loading the blank into the machine
- 2Machining on the CNC machine
- 3Unloading the finished part
- 4Placing the part on the cell output
- Communication with the machine controller: continuous

TendCell benefits
All versions share the advantages of a standard design and can still be adapted to your product.
- Continuous 24/7 operation at a constant cycle time
- Higher productivity and repeatability
- Quick changeover between products and batches
- Lower labour cost per part and less direct contact with the machine
- Adjustable layout, magazine size and grippers
- Installation next to existing CNC machines
- Your choice of robot brand, for example FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, ABB or Efort
Not sure which version is right? We offer a short technical consultation, a cell concept tailored to your needs, or an application example for your type of part. If a standard cell does not fit, we design a dedicated one.
