Case Study: CNC Robotic Cells with Integrated Comau Technology

In a high-precision manufacturing application, Comau’s NJ-16-3.1 robots are fully integrated into CNC processing cells to automate taping, water-cutting, and welding tasks.

Native integration via Siemens Sinumerik enables accurate path control and tight synchronization between machine and robot
Eliminating standalone robot controllers reduces hardware and simplifies support
Fast retooling and multi-product handling allow shorter cycle times and greater production flexibility
Full automation ensures consistent weld and cut quality—even for complex geometries and specialized materials

Built on Comau’s proven robotic platform, the system delivers high efficiency, reliability, and scalability—ideal for both large manufacturers and SMEs.

How the Comau CNC Robotic Solution Works

Using RunMyRobot/DIRECT, Comau robots are controlled directly through Siemens CNC—removing the need for a separate robot controller. This reduces hardware cost and complexity, while improving system reliability and ease of maintenance.

The robot benefits from the full suite of Sinumerik CNC functionalities, ensuring precise, smooth motion for cutting, sealing, and welding processes—even on complex part geometries.

Robot paths and operations are programmed directly via the CNC interface. No robot programming expertise is needed, enabling faster deployment and easier staff training.

Whether for high-mix, low-volume or continuous production, the system supports fast changeovers and real-time adjustments—maximizing output while maintaining process quality.
