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.
