This filament winding system is heading out after a complete rebuild.

Fully modernized with all new controls, this system was reworked from the ground up to improve performance, reliability, and long term usability.

What you see here is the final stage. More photos showing the full rebuild process from tear down to completion will be shared soon.

🚀 FlexLoad System Preview

Here is an early look at the FlexLoad system prior to final installation.

Designed with flexibility in mind, this solution combines FANUC robotics and advanced 3D vision to identify and handle a wide range of parts without the need for fixed tooling or precise part presentation. The result is a more adaptable approach to machine tending that supports faster setup and easier changeovers.

This is a preview of the system as it comes together. Additional video will be shared once the system is fully installed and operating in production.

Other robots letting you down?

The problem is not just the robot. It is how the system was built.

FANUC CRX cobots deliver reliability, flexibility, and up to 8 years of maintenance free operation.

IC Automation makes sure it all works the way it should.

Better equipment. Better implementation. Better results.

The SmartLoad 1500 expands the capabilities of our SmartLoad platform with larger robot options and a modular configurable drawer system designed for flexible CNC machine tending.

By organizing raw material and finished parts within a structured drawer system, SmartLoad 1500 helps manufacturers automate loading and unloading while maintaining consistent and reliable operation.

Designed as a scalable automation platform, SmartLoad 1500 makes it easier to adapt to different part sizes, production volumes, and machining workflows without the complexity of a fully custom system.

Watch the video to see the SmartLoad 1500 in action.

🚀 Introducing the SmartLoad 1500

Building on the proven SmartLoad platform, the SmartLoad 1500 takes CNC machine tending to the next level with expanded capability and flexibility.

Designed as a compact and mobile automation solution, the SmartLoad 1500 features upgraded robot options and a modular configurable drawer system to support a wider range of part sizes and production demands. Operators load parts into the drawer system, select the job on the touchscreen, and the system manages the entire tending process with speed, accuracy, and repeatability.

With quick setup, simple changeovers, and true mobility across machines, the SmartLoad 1500 delivers a practical path to scaling automation while maintaining the ease of use that defines the SmartLoad family.

A flexible automation solution built for manufacturers ready to expand capacity without adding complexity.
