Automating your Haas vertical machining center (VMC) or Haas Lathe is easy now. A collaborative robot (cobot) stands in front of your machine, loads blank parts, and unloads finished parts. Cobots work safely around the people in your shop, without being in a cage. Cobots are “easy to program”, or in the case of OB7 cobots from Productive Robotics, they do not require any normal programming.
