One of Fastenal’s manufacturing production lines utilizing a Mazak HQR 250MSY has been delivering hours of unattended machining with a bar feeder for small shaft work, but material that did not fit in the bar feeder had to be hand loaded.
To extend unattended machining benefits to billet work on the Mazak HQR 250MSY, Fastenal added an Agile Flex 35D to robot load up to 5 unique part types, stocked in its 4 drawers plus an optional drawer-mount pallet.
