Methods Machine Tools 以三台 FANUC RoboDrill 组建新英格兰自动化加工单元
Three RoboDrills Power New England Automation Cell
Methods Machine Tools 披露，一位长期合作的新英格兰客户新增了一套以三台 FANUC RoboDrill 为核心的自动化生产单元，用于串联多道加工工序。单元中两侧两台机床执行 Op 10，居中的 RoboDrill 执行 Op 20，位于单元中央的机器人负责在机床之间转运工件，维持零件在各工序间的流转。Methods 将该配置作为集成机器人自动化支持多工序制造流程的示例，并称这套单元不仅是客户的资本投入，更是其竞争优势，目标是通过机床与零件搬运流程协同运行来提升生产率和盈利能力。该帖未公布加工工时、总运行时间、产量或财务数据，也未透露客户名称、所加工零件及所属行业；帖中同时提及 FANUC America Corporation。
A longtime New England customer has added another automated production cell built around three FANUC RoboDrills, according to a LinkedIn post from Methods Machine Tools, Inc.
The cell is arranged to support a sequence of machining operations. The two outside machines run Operation 10, while the RoboDrill positioned in the middle performs Operation 20. Robots located centrally within the cell move work between the machines, maintaining the flow of parts through the process.
Methods described the installation as more than a capital investment for the customer, characterising it as a competitive advantage. The company said the automation cell is intended to increase productivity and raise profitability by keeping the machines and part-handling process working together.
No active printing hours, machining hours, total operating hours, production volumes or financial results were reported in the post. The company also did not identify the customer, specify the components being produced or name the industry served by the installation.
The post highlights FANUC America Corporation in connection with the automated cell. Methods presented the three-machine RoboDrill configuration as an example of how integrated robotic automation can support multi-operation manufacturing workflows for its customers.
