CNC Machining Robotics

CASE STUDY

CNC Robotics

We embrace technology at Distinctive Manufacturing. This includes CNC robotics. Here’s one example of the advantage CNC robotics provides for our customers. We were recently contacted by a company needing 320 of these parts machined quickly. Not only that, but these need to be made out of A2 tool steel, and require precision grinding, heat treating, and coating. Thanks to our DMR-3 Robot Tending Cell we were able to quote 2 weeks on this project. Have a tough deadline? We thrive under pressure!
