Overview
Entry-level automation systems designed to increase spindle uptime, throughput and handling consistency for CNC lathe operations. The Automation Readiness portfolio uses the OSP robotic interface to enable scalable automation with lower investment and reduced installation time.

Key Solutions

• Bar Feeders — Provide continuous loading for unattended lathe operation; support a range of stock diameters and lengths and can integrate with robots for fully automated workflows.
• Parts Catcher — Collects finished workpieces without stopping the spindle or opening the machine door, maintaining cycle continuity and reducing operator intervention and errors.
• Auto Doors — Retrofit options, including ball-screw driven doors, to improve access control and enable automation on legacy machines.
• In-Machine Loader — Integrated loaders for automated loading and unloading within the machine structure.
• Outfeed Conveyor — Transports completed parts away from the machine, often used in combination with parts catchers.
• Robotic Interface (OSP CNC) — Built-in robotic interface on OSP controls for straightforward robot integration and expansion paths.

Applications & Benefits
Suitable for shops moving from manual to automated production: prototype runs, continuous machining and transition to higher-volume production. Systems reduce manual handling, improve process consistency and offer upgrade paths to gantry loaders, robotic cells and pallet changers.
