In the fast-paced world of machining and automation, downtime is a costly burden that can disrupt schedules, delay deliveries, and ultimately impact the bottom line. At RoboJob, we understand that the key to minimizing downtime lies in the availability of spare parts. This is why we have made substantial investments to enhance our spare parts inventory, ensuring our customers experience unparalleled continuity in their production processes.

RoboJob has just moved to new headquarters in Heist-op-den-Berg (Belgium). This is a major milestone for RoboJob. Can you take us back to how it all started?

Naturally when you’re considering CNC automation, you’re looking to save money. Cobots can help solve urgent labor shortages by allowing employees to take on more useful and gratifying tasks. 'More production for the same wages' is an oversimplified way of looking at the value of a cobot. In order to fully analyze the impact of a cobot, we need a broader scope.

The collaborative robot, or cobot, is a rising star in the robotics industry. Massive developments in both technology and software make cobots easier to implement than ever. No longer the exclusive field of engineers and technicians, small-to-medium sized businesses can now get their own CNC automation up and running in a matter of hours. Has the DIY revolution in CNC arrived?

In difficult economic times, it is common to postpone investments and wait and see. However, it is precisely in such phases that there is often an opportunity to grow in the long term and secure a competitive advantage.

Trade shows are attracting more visitors again, and our CNC experts see three good reasons for this. And no: a nice goodie bag is not one of them.

It is in the nature of the beast to put the brakes on investments in a slowing economy, and when the geopolitical horizon turns dark red. But we shouldn't wait for the dust to settle to see new opportunities, because they actually shine brighter than ever. In this blog, we focus on what we can do in these times, and how we in the manufacturing industry can get out of the doldrums a little faster. Can you see the sparkles already?

If you ask any CNC expert about their preferred measurement method, chances are high you will hear "in-machine probing." And these experts have good reason to say so. Discover the capabilities of the three best-known measurement methods in this blog.

The manufacturing industry is a hybrid environment where man and machine work alongside each other. Whether we’re talking about a small metal cutting workshop or a full scale machine manufacturer: robotics are there to make our life easier. Tasks that are repetitive, risky or physically demanding are better left to the experts made from bytes and bolts. But how does a conventional industrial robot compare to a CNC cobot? And where lies the difference? Let’s take a closer look.
