NX for manufacturing

Robotic programming

Automate your part manufacturing with advanced robotics to expand machining capabilities, reduce cycle time and improve part quality.

How robotics can modernize your production

Robotic technology provides high automation and flexibility that can dramatically improve efficiency on the shop floor.  

Discover the powerful features of advanced robotic automation:

Expand capabilities with robotic machining

Program robots to machine large parts, expanding the machining work envelope. Robots help you automate machining tasks typically performed manually.  

Use NX CAM to program and simulate robots to perform precise multi-axis machining, including: 

  • Trimming 
  • De-burring 
  • Grinding  
  • Polishing 

Advanced robotics helps you reduce production costs and improve machining accuracy.
