Gantry solutions

We offer a wide range of loading and unloading solutions, there among gantry systems, servo-electric gantries, portals and pick-and-places applications.

With quality and productivity in focus

Automated machine tending replaces manual handling with robotic systems that load and unload machines with high precision and repeatability. This reduces idle time, ensures consistent cycle times, and enables longer production runs. How does it look at your site?

In short, whether you are looking to automate a single machine or build a scalable production cell, our solutions are engineered to deliver reliable performance, high uptime, and measurable return on investment.

 

Why automate machine tending?

Several key advantages for modern manufacturing:

Increased productivity – Firstly, robots can operate continuously, enabling longer production runs and higher machine utilization.

Improved quality and repeatability – For example, automated handling ensures consistent part positioning and reduced risk of damage.

Reduced labour dependency – Therefore, operators can focus on higher-value tasks such as quality control, process optimization, and supervision.

Improved workplace safety – Likewise, automation minimizes manual handling of heavy, sharp, or hot components.

Scalability and flexibility – Solutions can be adapted to different part sizes, batch sizes, and machine types, for instance.

To sum up, machine tending is ideal for CNC machines, turning and milling centers, presses, and injection molding machines.

 

Flexible and scalable solutions 

Most important, EWAB designs both robot cellsgantries and collaborative robot solutions, adapted to your production volume, part complexity, and available floor space.

Therefore, our systems can be integrated with conveyors, pallets, lift stations, vision systems, and custom grippers. Feel free to read more on our website, and download a case study to learn more.

 

From concept to production

We support you through the entire automation process – from analysis and design to installation and commissioning.

Likewise, machine tending can be implemented as a standalone solution for one of your machines or as part of a fully automated production cell. At EWAB, we supports you throughout the entire process – from concept and design to installation, commissioning, and ongoing support

In conclusion, the result is a reliable solution that delivers measurable return on investment.
