North American manufacturers face increasing pressure to boost productivity, address skills shortages and respond more quickly to changing production demands. At IMTS 2026, CNC automation specialist
Tezmaksan will demonstrate how robotic machine tending can help manufacturers achieve these goals with greater flexibility and lower complexity.
The Turkish engineering and automation company will exhibit alongside its North American partner, Dynamic Machine, at McCormick Place in Chicago from September 14 to 19. At Booth #339430, visitors will be able to see a range of CubeBOX modular automation systems designed to integrate robotic machine tending, part storage, pallet handling and control software within a single platform.
“North American manufacturers are looking for practical ways to increase capacity, manage labour pressures and adapt to changing customer requirements,” said Hakan Aydoğdu, CEO of Tezmaksan. “Our message at IMTS is that automation does not need to begin with a large or complicated project.
“The CubeBOX range gives manufacturers different entry points depending on their machines, applications, production volumes and available floor space.”
The exhibit will feature several CubeBOX configurations to demonstrate different approaches to automated production. CubeBOX™ Blues DR-3P uses a drawer-based system to organise and present components for robotic loading, while CubeBOX Blues RT-Vise employs multiple vises arranged around a rotary table. The CubeBOX Pallet Pool supports automated pallet handling and EcoLEAN V1 provides a compact collaborative robotics solution.
“The products tell one connected story,” continued Aydoğdu. “Whether a manufacturer needs drawer-based part handling, vise automation, pallet movement or a collaborative solution, the objective is the same: reduce unnecessary manual handling, keep machines productive and make production easier to manage.”
A key attraction on the stand will be the integration of CubeBOX EcoLEAN V1 with a Senjo Seiki gear deburring machine. The demonstration will show how robotic automation can support specialist secondary processes as well as traditional CNC machine tending operations.
By automating the loading and unloading of the deburring machine, manufacturers can reduce repetitive manual handling, improve process consistency and allow skilled employees to focus on higher-value tasks.“The Senjo Seiki integration shows that automation can create value across the wider production process,” said Aydoğdu. “Secondary operations can become bottlenecks, so automating component handling can help manufacturers create a smoother and more consistent workflow.”
Tezmaksan will also demonstrate its CubeBOX Pallet Pool, operated by a FANUC M-20iD/35 robot using the company's custom-manufactured pallets. The system is designed to show how automated pallet handling can reduce downtime between jobs, support longer periods of unattended production and enable work to be prepared in advance. It also helps manufacturers organise components and workholding fixtures as complete production units.
Visitors will also be able to explore Tezmaksan's RoboCAM+ software via a dedicated touchscreen display. Designed to simplify the setup and operation of robotic cells, RoboCAM+ reduces the need for specialist programming knowledge and helps make automation more accessible for manufacturers of varying sizes.
The company's partnership with Dynamic Machine combines Tezmaksan's automation technology with local application expertise, engineering support and customer service capabilities.
“North America is a strategically important market for Tezmaksan,” added Aydoğdu. “Manufacturers need both capable technology and strong local support. Our partnership with Dynamic Machine allows us to provide both, and IMTS gives us an important opportunity to build long-term relationships across the region.”
Visitors can see Tezmaksan's CubeBOX automation solutions at Booth #339430 during IMTS 2026 at McCormick Place, Chicago, from September 14 to 19.
