CubeBOX Is Set To Carry CNC Automation Into The Future

Tezmaksan, a partner in Turkey's metalworking industry for over 40 years, is facilitating unmanned operations seamlessly in CNC machining processes through its CubeBOX automation systems. CubeBOX handles tasks such as loading and unloading of workpieces, tool changes, and quality controls, contributing to the sustainability of production by providing advantages in terms of time and cost efficiency at every stage of manufacturing. Exported to 36 countries with a "Domestic Production" certification, CubeBOX supports the Turkish metal manufacturing industry's competitiveness and high exports with ongoing technology investments, particularly through the robotic automation system CubeBOX, aiming for higher production efficiency in the future.

In the context of integrating automation into CNC machines, Hakan Aydoğdu, the General Manager of Tezmaksan, provided insights into the evaluation process. He stated, "The 2020 In(Sight) report indicates a rise in automation. While 54% of workers believe they can save up to 240 hours per year through automation, 61% of business leaders believe that automation can be easily applied to their industries within the next 12 months. CNC machining is no exception. CNC machines come with different levels of software and automation. The specified level of automation can significantly enhance machining processes and, consequently, the quality of produced components. However, the challenge lies in determining the suitable CNC machine tool and automation for your setup." Aydoğdu mentioned, "If you are working with older CNC machine models, automatic tool changes are often not an option. However, if you aim to optimize cycle times, there are steps you can take to reduce tool change times." Highlighting the advantages of their developed CubeBOX robotic automation system, Aydoğdu said, "Robot programming is a task that requires expertise. It leads to both prolonged operational disruptions and dependence on skilled personnel. Our CubeBOX automation system offers an interface that allows operators to effortlessly change parts without any prior knowledge of robot programming."
