The Agile Flex 12V is a high-efficiency compact loading system designed specifically for smaller CNC machining centers. As part of Agile’s family of manufacturing automation solutions, it delivers reliable automation of the loading cycle—notably reducing manual intervention and setup time. With its automated-vise architecture and seamless integration, the 12V acts as a fully-automated CNC tool loading solution that enhances spindle utilization, supports lights-out operation, and allows engineers to focus on higher-value tasks rather than part transfers.
Agile Flex 12V Features:
Machine shops use the Agile Flex 12V CNC tool loading system to efficiently run smaller to mid-sized parts. For example, its automated-vise system supports up to 32 positions with fast change-over for frequent part transitions and minimal downtime. In addition, the system’s layout and control software simplify setup and operation, making it ideal for production environments where agility and accuracy matter.
The Agile Flex 12V integrates a 12 kg-payload Fanuc M-10iD/12 robot with a rigid, adjustable mounting system to provide precise CNC tool loading in tight production environments. In addition, the compact loading system installs directly beside most CNC machines to allow operator access as needed. This configuration delivers stable motion control, accurate part placement, and continuous part transfer during unattended operation. These manufacturing automation solutions also improve cycle consistency, support repeatable loading, and enable efficient integration into existing machining cells. As a result, it’s a seamless way to improve automated productivity in job shops.
The robot enhances process reliability through coordinated motion control and automated clamping. Each cycle is managed by the system’s integrated CNC interface, synchronizing part handling with spindle activity. This ensures smooth material transitions between machining operations without interrupting workflow. This compact loading system also maintains tight positional accuracy, making the Agile Flex 12V ideal for small-part production with precision and repeatability.
