Machine Tending Cell MT‑100 – UR Cobot, Robotiq Gripper, WAGO Control Package
Universal RobotsAutomation Distribution’s Machine Tending Cell MT‑100 is a pre‑engineered starter package that combines a Universal Robots cobot, Robotiq gripper, and WAGO control hardware into a ready-to-configure CNC tending solution. It is designed for small to mid-size machining and turning centers where shops need to automate loading and unloading without designing a cell from scratch.
The MT‑100 base package includes the selected UR cobot model, one Robotiq gripper kit sized for typical machine tending parts, a WAGO PLC and HMI with I/O for machine handshaking, and standard sensors for part and door status. Customers receive mechanical and electrical drawings, I/O maps, and starter program templates so in-house teams and Automation Distribution engineers can rapidly adapt the cell to specific machines and parts.
Options such as additional EOAT, SMC pneumatic kits, expanded I/O, vision, and guarding let manufacturers grow from a single-machine pilot into a standardized machine tending platform across the plant. The MT‑100 is ideal for shops looking to reduce manual loading, extend spindle utilization, and address labor gaps with a proven, supported cobot solution.
