Machine tool tending: from manual labor to smart automation

In traditional workshops, machine tool tending requires the constant presence of an operator to load and unload parts during every cycle. This leads to high costs and complex resource management. With Taurus HP1000, tending is fully automated: the robot manages all part-handling phases, while qualified operators can focus on higher-value activities, such as quality control or process management. A single automated unit can be installed between two machines with a distance of approximately 2 meters to manage tending, eliminating the need for an operator per machine and maximizing production efficiency. The system integrates a vertical warehouse with a high production buffer, equipped with drawers rated for 150 kg each, allowing the management of multiple production lots in parallel. During the automatic cycle, the operator can load new parts in masked time (internal time), without interrupting the machine cycle. Once loading is complete, simply close the drawer and press the “loading complete” button: the robot retrieves the drawer and initiates a new tending cycle.

Main technical features

• Vertical warehouse with high production buffer: Enables the management of multiple lots simultaneously, preventing production interruptions and ensuring operational continuity.

• Single drawer load capacity – 150 kg: Designed with high-capacity telescopic slides, each drawer can support a total load of 150 kg.

• Reduced installation footprint – only 2000 mm between two CNCs: Optimizes the layout of production departments, making automation possible even in workshops with limited floor space.

• Explore our robotic cells and cobot stations for integrated applications.

The advantages of automatic tending in machining departments

Increased Productivity Shorter and more consistent cycle times, with zero idle time between parts.

Improvement and Maintenance of Takt Time (machine cycle) The system maintains a constant machine cycle time, ensuring a regular and predictable production flow.

Greater Quality and Repeatability The automated process eliminates errors due to operator fatigue, ensuring precise positioning and reducing the risk of damage to components or tools.

Reduction in Operating Costs Automation allows for a significant reduction in costs related to repetitive labor and machining waste. At the same time, companies become more competitive by producing more with fewer resources, without requiring specialized skills to run the automated machines.

Advanced Monitoring and Control The system can integrate sensors, machine vision, and traceability functions, enabling statistical analysis (SPC), predictive maintenance, and connection with MES systems and Industry 4.0 platforms.

Today more than ever, digital transformation demands tools capable of collecting, interpreting, and maximizing the value of data from robotic systems. Taurus Analytics was engineered specifically to meet this challenge.

Why choose monitoring software for robotic cells?

In automated plants, data is essential, yet it is often difficult to interpret or unavailable in real time. With Taurus Analytics, we have created a user-friendly platform designed to:

• Constantly monitor the production status of the robotic cell;

• Compare production targets against actual progress;

• Quickly identify any deviations;

• Enhance line performance control.

Thanks to an intuitive interface, even operators without data analysis expertise can immediately understand if production is meeting its objectives.

Downtime monitoring and inefficiency analysis

One of the most requested features in the industrial automation sector is downtime management, a critical factor for production efficiency. Taurus Analytics automatically records and classifies every stoppage, generating:

• Summary charts for immediate insights;

• Inactivity time statistics;

• Reports on recurring causes of inefficiency.

This allows companies to reduce downtime and optimize the availability of robotic cells, significantly improving OEE and operational continuity.

Clear data for faster decision-making

Our goal is to make data useful and instantly readable. Taurus Analytics enables you to:

• Visualize production progress in real time;

• Rapidly recognize deviations and anomalies;

• Improve transparency between operators, technicians, and production managers;

• Support optimization strategies based on concrete information.

We believe that the ability to make fast, well-founded decisions represents the greatest value of our software.

A platform designed for the Smart Factory and AI

Taurus Analytics features an open architecture, ideal for integration with Artificial Intelligence and advanced analytics systems. This allows us to introduce future-ready functionalities such as:

• Downtime forecasting via predictive algorithms;

• Automatic optimization of production cycles;

• Performance analysis based on Big Data;

• Intelligent recommendations to improve efficiency and quality.

It is a concrete step toward the Smart Factory, where software, robots, and production processes work in total synergy.

With Taurus Analytics, we provide our clients with a tangible tool to enhance production monitoring, reduce downtime, increase productivity, and make robotic cell management simpler and more transparent.

The software is available now and can be customized to meet the specific needs of any automated plant. Contact us to learn more!
