Posted on 12 Jan 2026. Edited by: Tony Miles. Read 179 times.
Tezmaksan automates production for Turkish manufacturer Tezmaksan Robot Technologies, a global manufacturer of CNC automation systems, has strengthened its partnership with UFC Automotive, a leading original parts manufacturer based in Turkey, by commissioning a second CubeBOX automation line at the latter’s tractor clutch production facility. This latest installation marks a significant milestone in UFC Automotive’s digital transformation journey, enabling continuous robot-assisted production and delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, quality and sustainability.

The collaboration builds on more than a decade of cooperation between the two companies and reflects a shared commitment to modernising Turkish manufacturing through automation. According to The Global Economy, industry accounted for 25.94% of Turkey’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, underlining the sector’s strategic importance and the growing need for digitally driven production technologies.

UFC Automotive manufactures tractor clutch systems for domestic and global markets as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original equipment supplier (OES). Given the critical functional role of clutch systems, the company places a strong emphasis on precision, stability and traceability in its production operations.

Can Çetin, a partner at UFC Automotive, said: “We have partnered with Tezmaksan as a reliable partner to help bring our production processes into the digital transformation era. With Tezmaksan’s technical support and systems, we integrated the system without hesitation, and we have already seen an increase in productivity.”

Repeatable production quality

The new CubeBOX robotic automation system continuously feeds three different CNC machines for 22 hours per day, automating a process that previously required three operators. This transition has enabled the company to boost productivity by 35% and achieve cost savings of 50% across its tractor clutch production. By adopting a second CubeBOX system, UFC Automotive aims to secure higher process consistency, minimise manual handling and ensure sustainable, repeatable production quality.

Hakan Aydogdu, Group CEO at Tezmaksan, said: “Turkish industry has enormous digital transformation potential and our work with UFC Automotive is a strong demonstration of what can be achieved with practical, well-engineered automation. Our CubeBOX systems feed multiple CNC machines for extended periods, supporting efficient, operator-friendly production.”

UFC Automotive plans to continue its investment in digital transformation with Tezmaksan in upcoming projects, reinforcing its goal to increase efficiency, ensure quality and remain competitive in both domestic and international markets.

Mr Aydogdu concluded: “Collaborations like this allow us to combine our automation expertise with the real production needs of manufacturers. Our goal is to make advanced CNC automation accessible to a wider range of companies and to support their transition toward more efficient, reliable and data-driven production.”
