Flexxbotics to Present Latest Developments in Advanced Robotic Machine Tending at Automate Trade Show
At the event, Flexxbotics will demonstrate the manufacturing of an electro-mechanical product using an advanced robotic machine tending workcell enabled by Flexxbotics. The demonstration will feature a Universal Robots UR30 collaborative robot with SCHUNK pallet coupling interfacing managing multiple factory machines including a Haas 5-Axis Universal Machining Center, Hexagon Tigo Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) and MiJet cleaning station. Flexxbotics solution seamlessly connects the robot to each piece of equipment and coordinates the multi-operation jobs.
Boston, MA - April 30, 2025 - Flexxbotics, delivering digital solutions for robot-driven manufacturing at scale, today announced it will showcase its breakthrough capabilities for advanced robotic machine tending with autonomous process control at Automate 2025 on May 12-15 in Detroit, Michigan.
Flexxbotics solution digitalizes robotic production for next generation smart factory environments. Flexxbotics innovative FlexxCORE™ technology seamlessly connects and coordinates robots with existing automation equipment, IT systems and people. Flexxbotics enables robots to run multiple machines with multiple operations for multiple part SKUs for longer unattended operation in ‘lights out' manufacturing.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
