RoboJob puts CNC Automation front and center at IMTS
RoboJob puts CNC Automation front and center at IMTS
Together with Methods Machine Tools, RoboJob will demonstrate a Turn-Assist 270 i integrated with a Nakamura-Tome JX-250 at IMTS 2026. Backed by more than 2,200 installations in over 30 countries, including the United States, RoboJob will show U.S. manufacturers that CNC automation is not only essential for future growth, but also proven, reliable, and ready to deliver results today.
The U.S. manufacturing industry is facing a major challenge. Demand for locally produced components is growing, while experienced CNC operators are becoming increasingly difficult to find. As a result, many valuable machines are still producing far fewer hours than they could. For RoboJob, the conclusion is clear: CNC Automation must become an integral part of the American production environment.
At IMTS, taking place in Chicago from September 14 to 19, 2026, visitors can discover just how accessible automation has become. RoboJob partner Methods Machine Tools, Inc. will present a RoboJob Turn-Assist 270 i integrated with a Nakamura-Tome JX-250 multitasking machine.
By automating the loading and unloading of workpieces, the CNC machine can continue producing independently for extended periods. This enables manufacturers to get more value from their equipment, increase output and deploy operators where their expertise adds the greatest value.
The technology is ready and thoroughly proven
While CNC Automation has already been widely adopted across Europe, the U.S. market is still at an earlier stage of development. As a result, manufacturers may still have questions about its flexibility, ease of use and reliability. RoboJob aims to eliminate that uncertainty through proven technology and extensive real-world experience.
RoboJob has completed more than 2,200 installations in over 30 countries, including the United States. This gives the company an exceptional level of experience across a wide variety of CNC machines, workpieces and production environments. U.S. customers can also rely on the support of local partners such as Methods Machine Tools.
“Anyone investing in a CNC machine today should also consider how to maximize its productive hours,” says Jelle De Roovere, CEO of RoboJob. “Automation is no longer experimental technology. It proves its value every day in thousands of production environments. With more than 2,200 installations, we have the experience to provide customers with a solution that is reliable, user-friendly and profitable. At the Methods booth, IMTS visitors can see for themselves how our automation works alongside an advanced multitasking machine.”
The demonstration at Methods Machine Tools shows how CNC technology and flexible workpiece automation can come together in one integrated production process. Visitors who want to explore additional solutions or discuss a specific application can stop by RoboJob’s own booth nearby, also on Level 3 of the South Building.
