Why Xpert Robotics

Why Choose Us for Machine Tending

Dual FANUC + ABB Certification

We select the optimal robot for your machine — FANUC M-20iD for speed, ABB IRB 1200 for compact cells, GoFa for collaborative tending. No vendor bias.

Vision-Guided Tending

Hikrobot machine vision for bin picking, part orientation, and quality inspection — flexible tending of multiple part types without fixture changes.

24/7 Unmanned Operation

Lights-out operation overnight and weekends. Built-in error recovery, part counting, tool wear monitoring, and automatic pallet changes.

Proven ROI Under 18 Months

Typical cells pay back in 12-18 months by eliminating 2-3 operator shifts and increasing machine utilization from 65% to 90%+.

Frequently Asked Questions

Machine Tending FAQ

Who does machine tending automation in Israel?
Xpert Robotics is the leading machine tending integrator in Israel, deploying FANUC and ABB robots for CNC loading, injection molding, press tending, and grinding. The only integrator in Israel with dual FANUC and ABB certification.
What robots are best for machine tending?
For CNC machine tending in Israel, Xpert Robotics recommends FANUC M-20iD (25 kg, fast), FANUC LR Mate (7 kg, compact), ABB IRB 1200 (7 kg, small footprint), or ABB GoFa (collaborative). Choice depends on part weight, door clearance, and cycle time.
How much does machine tending automation cost in Israel?
A single-machine CNC tending cell costs $60,000–$100,000 USD. Multi-machine cells serving 2-4 CNC machines range $100,000–$200,000 USD. Contact Xpert Robotics for a free assessment.
What cycle time can a machine tending robot achieve?
Typical robotic load/unload is 8-15 seconds (excluding machining). A single FANUC M-20iD can service 2-4 CNC machines depending on machining cycle length.
Is machine tending safe for operators?
Yes. All Xpert Robotics cells include light curtains, safety-rated PLCs, door interlocks, and safety-rated monitored stop. For collaborative work, we use ABB GoFa or FANUC CRX cobots.
