Matched to your payload, with 700 to 2000 mm reach.
- Control pedestal
Touchscreen, e-stop and teach pendant. No PLC programming.
- Vision camera
Cable-free, vision-based connection to your CNC.

Vertical mills, horizontal mills and lathes, most brands.
- Up to 4X outputFrom continuous machine tending, overnight and on weekends.
- Repeatable to ±0.02 mmRobotic positioning and consistent cycles.
- Lower cost per partLess labor in every cycle.
- A safer floorLess operator exposure around running machines.
Four steps to a running cell
You do the first one online. We do the rest with you.
- Step 01Configure your stationPick the arm, station size, grippers, sensors and safety in the guided configurator, with pricing as you build.
- Step 02We assess and prepareOur team reviews your workflow, then prepares and configures your station before it ships.
- Step 03Install and integrateCable-free integration using vision-based machine connectivity.
- Step 04Training, then supportWe train your operators, then back them with remote diagnostics and preventive maintenance.
What shop owners ask us first
- Will it work with my machine?
- Most CNC brands are covered. Enter your brand and model for an instant compatibility check, and we confirm it before you buy.
- What if my needs change after the quote?
- We adjust, add or remove components based on your feedback before the solution is final.
- Nobody here knows robotics.
- They do not need to. No PLC programming is required, and the system is designed to be simple and practical for real shop environments.
- I do not want a custom project.
- You do not need one. Most clients start with a standard or compact station that is already optimized, then adjust it if needed.
- I only want to try one machine.
- Start with one. Many clients begin with a single station and scale as they see results.
- What happens when it stops mid-shift?
- 24/7 technical support for critical production issues, remote diagnostics, and scheduled preventive maintenance.

- Step 05We ship itFrom San Diego to anywhere in the United States.
What buyers ask us first
- I only need one part.
- That is fine. One-off prototypes, low volume runs and repeat production all go through the same workflow.
- My geometry is unusual.
- An engineer may review it before the price is final, and we tell you when that happens.
- My file is not a STEP.
- Send it anyway. Other formats are quoted by an Axton engineer instead of instantly.
- I need it urgently.
- Depending on availability, we prioritize urgent projects.
- My design is confidential.
- Uploads are encrypted, we never share your files, and we sign an NDA on request.
- I run a shop and need overflow capacity.
- Machine shops across the United States send us overflow, repeat jobs and prototyping, so they add capacity without disrupting their own floor.
Your price is one upload away
Whatever you have the part in, there is a way to send it.
Priced instantly
STEP and STP files, with a live 3D preview.
