CNGBS machine tending units cover the K5 tending unit and the machining collaborative cell: rapidly deployable automation for small-batch, high-mix production, providing flexible loading and unloading of small parts on CNC lathes, machining centers and grinders.
From the freely movable K5 tending unit to fixed and mobile collaborative machining cells — choose the feeding method that matches your parts and throughput.
Ultra-compact and fast to retract — purpose-built, great-value tending for small parts on one machine.
Fixed base with tray feeding for machining tending with stable batches.
Two-tier tray structure increases the on-board part buffer and reduces reloading frequency.
Magazine-style feeding for high-capacity small-part tending on machining centers and grinders.
Mobile base design lets one unit serve multiple machines with flexible line changes.
A tending unit designed for a single machine tool: ultra-compact footprint from just 0.4 ㎡; fast retraction keeps the manual operating position free; outstanding value; and no changes to the existing shop-floor layout.

The machining collaborative cell is a rapidly deployable machine tending solution designed for small-batch, high-mix production. It generally consists of a fixed base, an integrated control cabinet, a parts platform and a collaborative robot arm. Its applications across machining are highly diverse — flexible loading and unloading of small parts on lathes, machining centers, grinders and more.
