Can You Name 100 CNC Brands Without Hints?
The machine tool world has come a long way since Richard Kegg patented the first CNC machine in 1958. In 2022, there were an estimated 790,000 CNC machines worldwide. While there is no definitive count of CNC brands, you might guess that there are more than 100 CNC brands. How would we know this?
Back in 2024, we looked through the records and realized that we have paired our robot with more than 100 different CNC brands. Who knew?
What does that mean for you?
First, this robot is highly flexible if it can readily pair with so many different machine tool brands.
To be transparent, some of the brands didn't roll off our tongues.
But once we got through the tech specs, these were good machine tools and they paired well.
What else does it mean?
Think about operating a CNC machine.
If you have five different brands of CNC machines in your operation, your team needs to know five different programming procedures. They need to know the nuances between machine brands.
If you have our robot paired with each of those machine tools, the procedure and the nuance for operating the robot is the same, regardless of CNC language.
That makes machine shop life a bit easier.
Learning to operate the robot is simple, fast, and easy.
So easy, your grandfather could do it.
We heard someone say that they didn't think robots were so inclusive.
Our robot has never met a CNC machine it wouldn't pair with.
