Precision work and custom machinery from Lummen

Why RoboJob
Torson wanted more spindle hours from its CNC machines at lower cost, so it could deliver faster. The decision for RoboJob came when the Torson team saw the system in action.
“Finally, an automation partner that speaks the same language as we do! This feeling was strongly expressed when I saw the system in action, together with our CNC team. RoboJob offers both a solution for our company as well as a solution for our operators.”
— Mario Valkeneers, Managing Director, Torson
Three Turn-Assists on three Mazak Integrex J200s
Today, Torson runs three RoboJob Turn-Assist cells, each on a Mazak Integrex J200 multitasking machine:
- Mazak Integrex J200 with a Turn-Assist 180
- Mazak Integrex J200 with a Turn-Assist 180 (identical cell)
- Mazak Integrex J200 with a Turn-Assist 270
Two cells are identical Turn-Assist 180s; the third, a Turn-Assist 270, handles larger parts.
The result: more spindle hours, shorter delivery times
With three automated Integrex machines, Torson gets more spindle hours at lower cost. That translates into shorter delivery times, a clear advantage for its customers.
