Advanced capabilities of the TendCell 300C and 600C models

To optimize more demanding production processes, the TendCell 300C and 600C models support a wide range of advanced extensions that go beyond basic machine tending:

↪︎ Live material loading during operation – enables uninterrupted workflow and maximized machine uptime

↪︎ In-process product inspection using machine vision – checks shape, orientation, or quality during machining

↪︎ Batch tracking and product identification via QR/barcodes or engraving

↪︎ Automatic tool or gripper change for multi-stage processing without operator intervention (600C only)

Integration of additional processing steps, such as:

↪︎ Deburring – for removing sharp edges and improving surface finish

↪︎ Laser engraving – for permanent marking or product personalization

↪︎ Blowing, cleaning, and drying – preparing workpieces for downstream processes or packaging

↪︎ Marking and labeling – for traceability and logistics optimization

↪︎ Quality measurements – using contact or non-contact measuring systems (600C only)

Flexibility tailored to your needs.

Every TendCell unit is designed with the user in mind. We offer:

  • Custom positioning, bin sizing, and gripper configuration

  • Integration with existing CNC machines

  • Robot brand of your choice (Efort, FANUC, KUKA, Yaskawa, ABB, etc.)

  • Additional custom functionalities based on your needs
