Description

The Robotiq Machine Tending Solution for Universal Robots is a turnkey hardware and software kit that lets manufacturers quickly automate CNC loading and unloading with minimal engineering or custom programming. It is designed specifically for UR e-Series cobots and uses a guided Quick Start workflow so teams can go from installation to production in just a few hours.​

What it is

  • A pre-engineered machine-tending package that includes dedicated Copilot software, Robotiq controller, pneumatic panel, button activator, air nozzle, stacklight sensors, and UR-compatible grippers.​

  • Intended to load and unload parts on CNC milling machines and lathes using UR3e, UR5e, UR10e or UR16e robots without modifying the CNC control panel.​

Key benefits

  • Cuts setup and programming time by up to 75% compared to traditional custom integrations, enabling fast deployment and one-year typical ROI.​

  • Increases spindle uptime by keeping machines fed during breaks, nights, and weekends, reducing idle time and labor dependency.​

  • Lowers integration risk with standardized components, visual programming, and non-invasive monitoring of machine status.​

Main features

  • Copilot software on the UR teach pendant with visual wizards, action menus, and automatic, collision-free path optimization between waypoints.​

  • Hardware bundle including Hand-E gripper(s), button activator to “press” the machine start cycle, air nozzle for chip clearing, stacklight monitoring sensors, and a dedicated MT controller and pneumatic panel.​

  • Support for single or dual Hand-E end-of-arm tooling, with IP67 grippers, adjustable grip force, and maximum part size up to 127 mm.​

Typical applications

  • Automated loading and unloading of raw blanks and finished parts on CNC lathes and machining centers.​

  • Opening/closing doors, actuating chucks or vises via pneumatics, blowing off parts, and reading machine stacklight or status signals.​

  • High-mix, low-volume production where quick changeover and simple recipe management are required.​

Ideal users

  • Small to mid-sized machine shops wanting an accessible cobot kit rather than a custom integration.​

  • Manufacturers needing to extend CNC runtime without adding headcount, while keeping programming and installation simple for in-house staff.
