A New Robotic CNC Machine Tending System is Revolutionizing the CNC
Manufacturing Industry
ExecutiveExecutiveExecutiveExecutive SummarySummarySummarySummary
CNC manufacturing is a technology driven industry. Thriving companies are making investments
in people and technologies that increase quality and productivity while reducing costs.
Traditional solutions to increase productivity rely primarily on operator labor. While increasing
labor resources can lead to increased production, it is not necessarily the most effective method
to achieve the goal. Given the highly competitive nature of the manufacturing industry, it is time
to consider alternative solutions. The purpose of this white paper is to introduce the idea and
benefits of a CNC tended by a VersaBuilt Robotic System.

The VersaBuilt VBX series of CNC Robotic Machine Tenders is a true
innovation for the CNC manufacturing industry. This system
represents a new and unique class of machine tending automation
that can be installed in front of your CNC machine and can be cutting
production parts the same day. They will tend almost any part with
the shortest set up time in the industry. The VBX-160 is the ground
breaking model in the series. The VBX-160 is easy to use and requires
no customization. The VBX-160 increases the capacity and
throughput of your operation while significantly reducing labor costs.

Operator labor is the single largest expense for most CNC manufacturers. To compete in a global
market, CNC manufacturers must reduce their cost of labor while maintaining enough capacity
to meet customer demand. In the event of increased customer demand, manufacturers are
typically increasing operator labor. Given the cyclical nature of the CNC manufacturing business,
retaining existing operators and finding qualified operators to meet dynamic demands is proving
to be a challenge. Manufacturers are making large investments in labor with less than optimum
results. Using a robot in place of operator labor to tend CNC machines can significantly reduce
the cost of operator labor while simultaneously increasing production capacity. However,
traditional robotic machine tending solutions are highly custom and expensive solutions only
capable of tending parts of similar shapes and sizes. With most CNC manufacturers processing
many different part families, traditional machine tending solutions are not an option.

The VersaBuilt VBX-160 is increasing the production capacity of CNC manufacturing operations
while dramatically lowering labor costs. Daily CNC production output is increased anywhere from
2x to 5x, and labor cost is reduced by 40 to 90% by using a VBX-160 in place of traditional
operator labor. The VBX-160 is easily capable of 24 hours of non-stop production without
operator intervention. Because the VBX-160 can process several different part orders
simultaneously, lights out, all night production is achievable even with small order sizes. Operator
labor to setup and load the VBX-160 is typically about one hour per day for 24 hours of CNC
processing time. With the VBX-160 you can achieve 24 hour production without adding two
additional shifts.

The genius of the VBX-160 is the patent pending MultiGrip soft jaws. Using MultiGrip soft jaws,
the VBX-160 easily adapts to a broad range of part shapes and sizes. MultiGrip soft jaws are truly
multipurpose:
• MultiGrip soft jaws are easily and inexpensively machined for new parts
• The CNC uses the MultiGrip soft jaws to hold the part for machining
• The VBX-160 uses the MultiGrip soft jaws for loading parts in and out of the CNC

The VBX-160 is a turnkey, ready to work system. The average CNC machine shop already has all
of the capabilities necessary to successfully setup and process parts with the VBX-160.
The VBX-160:
• is always ready to work 24 hours straight with about 1 hour of operator set up
• removes operator labor as the key constraint to growth
• works in virtually any CNC manufacturing environment
• increases the return on the equipment investment you’ve already made by increasing
equipment production time
