Turn-Assist
The Turn-Assist is your ultimate sidekick for CNC automation - quick, efficient, and so intuitive, you might start wondering who’s really running the show (don’t worry, it’s still you).



Turn-Assist: Innovation born from experience
The Turn-Assist is where it all began for RoboJob: a journey driven by hands-on expertise and a vision for smarter automation. RoboJob was founded by Helmut De Roovere, who as the head of a CNC subcontracting company, saw the untapped potential of small and medium-sized series automation. Existing solutions didn’t meet the demand for compactness, flexibility, and ease of use, so Helmut took the bold step to create his own. After three years of dedicated development, the first Turn-Assist was installed in 2010 at his company, Aluro CNC. That very first unit, with serial number 1, is still running strong today.
Since then, the Turn-Assist has evolved into the industry standard, setting itself apart through continuous innovation. With a patented stacking principle for unmatched capacity on a small footprint, intuitive functionality, modular upgrades, and advanced gripper systems, it remains the trusted choice for CNC automation. A legacy of reliability, perfected over time.
Turn-Assist: Tailored Automation for every workshop
Building on its proven legacy, the Turn-Assist offers reliable, flexible, and user-friendly automation in multiple configurations.
The Integrated model is compact and standardized for quick installation and efficient use of space. The Separated version adds flexibility, with customizable layouts and easy access to tool magazines, making it perfect for versatile workshops.
Choose from models like the compact Essential Mini, the versatile Essential, or the high-capacity 200 and robust 270 for larger batches - each designed to optimize CNC operations and boost productivity.
