The Agile Flex 35S is a high-performance automation platform designed to increase productivity and precision in modern machine shops. Built as a robot for machine tools, it delivers consistent, repeatable part handling for shaft, bar, and large workpiece applications. The 35S integrates easily with a horizontal mill or other CNC systems, helping engineers achieve longer unattended cycles and optimized workflow efficiency. By integrating CNC machines with automation, it eliminates manual loading tasks, reduces downtime, and enhances spindle utilization across every shift.
Agile Flex 35S Features:
Engineered for reliability and speed, the Agile Flex 35S functions as an intelligent robot for machine tools, automating heavy shaft and bar-stock operations. Its multi-drawer configuration supports workpieces up to 76 mm (3 inches) in diameter and 787 mm in length, making it ideal for medium to large component production. In addition, the robotic gripper and adjustable fixtures ensure precise positioning to maintain part consistency through long production runs. As a result, this system provides a scalable solution for manufacturers seeking to minimize labor while maintaining high output quality.
The Agile Flex 35S is designed to seamlessly integrate CNC machines with automation, directly into existing production environments. For example, by using the Agile Go! control interface, operators can set up new jobs quickly, with no programming expertise required. The system automates part loading, unloading, and staging for smooth operation during multi-shift production. In addition, this automation reduces setup times, improves throughput, and keeps CNC machines cutting continuously. For shops that handle a wide variety of parts, the Agile Flex 35S delivers flexibility and efficiency. It provides dependable, operator-friendly automation that adapts easily to changing production demands.
Optimized for integration with a horizontal mill, the Agile Flex 35S enhances high-volume shaft and bar machining applications. In addition, its compact footprint and efficient drawer system allows operators to access parts while machining is active. The robotic system also manages tool access and material flow, allowing for full-cycle machining with minimal interruption. This integration maintains consistent accuracy and increased spindle uptime machine shops focused on lean manufacturing and long-term production scalability.
