The global automotive ceramics market is shifting into high gear, on track to reach $3.5 billion by 2028. Discover the driving forces behind this growth, including a thriving automotive industry and the rising demand for electric vehicles, and see how innovation is steering this market into the future.
Robotic machining technology has advanced to where it poses a serious alternative to metalcutting applications on more traditional machining centers. With the latest robotics equipment and related software, automation suppliers and robotic system integrators are gaining some traction using robots in many material-removal applications previously done only with machine tools.
One of the most cost-effective ways to obtain the benefits of automation is by adding a bar feeder to a CNC lathe or other bar machine. Costing anywhere from about $10,000 to $40,000 depending on configuration, the devices can add hours of untended operating time for part volumes of a few hundred to tens of thousands.
