Material Handling
Robotic cells that load the machine and take the part away: machining centers and lathes, transfer machines, die casting machines, forging presses and trimming presses. Most of them are vision-guided. The camera finds the part on the conveyor, so there are no part fixtures, and a new part means a new model, not new tooling.
Find the machine you want fed
Five applications, each on its own page with a real cell: how it runs, what it carries and what it was built for. Hover over a picture to see the cell move.
-
01Machine tending
Vision-guided tending of machining centers and lathes with IROCUBE. The parts come on a conveyor; there are no part fixtures.
-
02Transfer machines
A transfer machine wants a new part every few seconds. A compact cell on the machine itself, or a high-capacity one fed a whole bin at a time.
-
03Die casting
A robot takes every casting out of the die, checks on a sensor plate that the whole casting came out, quenches it and lays it in the trim press.
-
04Hot forging
Billets from the furnace into the die and the forged part out, stroke after stroke, with nobody within reach of the heat.
-
05Flash trimming
Forged parts found on the conveyor by vision and laid in the trim die, one after another. Turnkey, press included.
What our handling cells share
Different machines, the same way of working.
The camera finds the part
95% of our projects are vision-guided. Parts go on the conveyor loose, and our IROVISION software locates each one. No fixtures to make, store or scrap when the order ends.
One platform, tested before it ships
Robot, conveyors and guarding on one welded frame. The cell runs its full cycle at our plant, ships in one piece, and moves with the machine when the line changes.
The machine sets the pace
A machine waiting for a robot is a loss. Our standard cells pair one robot with one machine, and the robot keeps up with a transfer machine’s rhythm or a press’s stroke.
One plant, 120 robots
Our first feeding cell for a transfer machine went to Torun Metal in 2014. By the end of 2025 we had installed 120 of the 140 robots in their plant: an IROCUBE at each of 60 FANUC Robodrills, and feeding cells at 11 transfer machines.

Send us your part and your machine
Every handling cell starts with the part, the machine and the cycle. Tell us about them, send us samples, and we will set up the right project with you.
