The RoboFMS – Robotic Flexible Manufacturing System by Fastems is a powerful and versatile automation solution engineered for maximum productivity, especially in environments requiring flexible manufacturing for fixed table machining centers and high-mix production. This system’s core innovation is its ability to integrate any 5-axis machines, regardless of whether they use zero-point fixtures or lack automatic pallet changers, by leveraging the flexibility of a large industrial robot.

The system is designed to bring new flexibility to automating machine tools and make integrating auxiliary and finishing processes simple and cost-effective. It handles tasks like automated part washing, marking machines, and measuring devices within the same flexible flow. The robust robotic handling mechanism can manage a nominal load from 20 up to 2-000 kg and offers custom gripping options for diverse workpieces.

At the center of the RoboFMS is the industry-leading Manufacturing Management Software (MMS), which provides intelligent production planning and scheduling. The MMS automatically calculates the optimized production workflow and necessary resources- including tools- based on orders, adapting seamlessly to changes in the daily schedule. The physical system is characterized by high layout flexibility, easy extendability, and provides up to 4 storage levels for pallets, ensuring that the RoboFMS is a scalable and powerful component for modern- unmanned manufacturing.
