AV&R Product

It allows to perform manufacturing processes using the "tool-in-hand" method. The advantages of the TF-X 1200 are thus to avoid handling heavy and voluminous parts.

Modular, Efficient, Precise

The TF-X 1200, Tool-Finishing eXpert robotic system, completes AV&R’s range of robotic solutions.

The TF-X 1200’s specificity is to handle one or several process tools, allowing to work on stationary parts. This is what we call the “tool-in-hand” method. It allows to avoid heavy and voluminous part handling. The robotic system can also use a large variety of tools and reach difficult-to-access areas. Therefore, the process precision is increased.

The TF-X 1200 has been designed to perform one manufacturing process on parts less than 1200 mm. Meeting typical manufacturing needs, the TF-X 1200 offers various configurations and options to automate numerous processes.

  • Easy to use with built-in programming and operating software, allowing operators to adjust the system rather than automation engineers
  • A practical solution to hiring difficulties
  • Secure closed cell reducing the risk of injury
  • Robotic system configured according to standards (North America and European Union) allowing immediate and safe use
  • Compact and easily integrated into your production line
  • Improvement of the production quality and repeatability
  • Increased production output
  • Significant reduction in abrasive use, resulting in lower operating costs

The robotic system TF-X 1200, Tool-Finishing eXpert, is the latest addition in 2021 to AV&R’s range of robotic solutions. It allows to perform manufacturing processes using the "tool-in-hand" method. The advantages of the TF-X 1200 are thus to avoid handling heavy and voluminous parts. With the tool in hand, the robotic system opens possibilities for manufacturing process options and offers a higher precision allowing to reach hard-to-access areas on the part.
