In today’s fast-paced industrial environment, labor shortages and rising costs have led businesses, especially in labor-intensive industries like door frame manufacturing, to seek smarter solutions. Leading American manufacturer Machine Tool Camp (MTC) embraced this shift by adopting Syntec’s 210MB-E milling controller and Leantec LA1206-10 robotic arms (1206mm reach, 10kg payload). These robots automate tasks like material picking, loading, and feeding, reducing dependence on manual labor and allowing workers to focus on higher-value tasks.
Robotic arms offer superior flexibility and require much less installation space compared to traditional gantry systems. While setting up a gantry system took two workers over two weeks, the robotic arms can be installed by a single worker in just three days—cutting both integration complexity and labor costs by nearly 90%.
This combination of Syntec’s precision control and Leantec’s automation has streamlined MTC’s material handling, boosting production efficiency. It also showcases the power of automation in improving manufacturing competitiveness. MTC’s successful deployment highlights the role of automation in driving precision, scalability, and innovation, helping industries evolve toward smart manufacturing.
