Flexible machine tending and secondary operations for small parts.
The Standard ACEflex Automation platform is one of the most flexible, cost-effective material handling systems for loading and unloading parts to machines. Its bi-directional drawer feed system enables operators to swap finished and raw parts without stopping the machine — maximizing uptime and minimizing operator wait time.
Drawers hold changeout fixture plates, trays, or wire baskets. The Stacked Drawers (SD) configuration with 2-4 stacked drawers significantly increases part feed buffer for longer unattended run times.
The compact, standardized platform reduces lead time and engineering cost compared to a fully custom cell, while still offering a wide range of add-on capabilities to match your specific application.

Traditional hard guard with access door, light curtain, and/or area scanner options — matched to your safety requirements.
Drawers enable operators to swap finished and raw parts without stopping the machine — the key to maximizing uptime.
Includes one robot (more upon request). Supports single or multi-machine tending with automatic EOAT changeover tools available.
Allen Bradley or Siemens PLC and HMI with Ethernet IP communication. Data collection and traceability options available.
Complete electrical panel and pneumatic systems — fully wired, plumbed, and tested before delivery.
Every application is different. ACEflex's modular design lets you add capabilities to the base system to match your specific production requirements.
Continuous operation with drawer exchange means no machine downtime for part loading — the robot works while the operator loads the next batch.
One operator can tend multiple ACEflex cells, reducing dependence on manual labor for repetitive machine loading tasks.
Pre-engineered platform means shorter lead times and lower engineering costs than a fully custom robotic cell — without sacrificing flexibility.
