Versatile collaborative machine tending — compact, mobile, and AI-ready.
The standard ACEtend Automation platform is one of the most versatile and cost-effective solutions for robotic machine tending. Designed to seamlessly load and unload parts from virtually any machine, ACEtend delivers collaborative automation in a compact, easy-to-deploy package.
Built around a FANUC CRX collaborative robot, ACEtend operates safely alongside personnel without guarding — conserving valuable floor space. The mobile platform moves easily via pallet jack or forklift for rapid deployment across workcells.
ACEtend is engineered for seamless AI integration, enabling fast adaptation to low-volume, high-mix environments where flexibility matters most.

Easily moved via pallet jack or forklift for rapid deployment across workcells. Compact footprint conserves floor space.
Interchangeable infeed modules handle single or multiple parts. Quick-change tooling supports a variety of part sizes and shapes.
Simple programming and operation using the robot's tablet interface. No PLC programming knowledge required for basic operation.
Engineered for seamless AI integration, enabling fast adaptation to low-volume, high-mix environments without extensive reprogramming.
Meets ANSI/PMMI B155 standards for collaborative applications. Optional area scanner and guarding for non-collaborative high-speed mode.
ACEtend's expandable architecture allows for optional PLC, HMI, and additional I/O when advanced automation needs arise — starting simple and scaling as requirements grow.
Move ACEtend between machines and workcells in minutes — no installation, no rewiring, no floor anchors. Deploy automation where you need it, when you need it.
Operators work alongside ACEtend without guarding, cages, or light curtains. Collaborative operation means no floor space lost to safety fencing.
Interchangeable modules and AI-ready architecture make ACEtend ideal for shops running small batches of diverse parts — where traditional fixed automation can't justify the cost.
