Mills CNC Automation has supplied Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR), an independent and not-for-profit research and training organisation, with a SYNERGi automation system. The new, large-capacity SYNERGi Premier is now in situ at IMR’s Technology Centre in Mullinger, Country Westmeath, where it partners with a Doosan Puma 2600 II multi-tasking lathe, acquired by IMR from Mills in August 2020, to create a flexible automated manufacturing cell.

IMR’s new SYNERGi will help the organisation de-mystify, de-risk and deliver new and emerging technologies that enable industry (across Ireland) to compete and succeed at the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing. The SYNERGi Premier system is a rigid, robust and large-capacity automation system comprising a Fanuc six-axis Industrial robot (25 kg payload) with Schunk three-jaw grippers, a five-drawer part-loading and unloading station, and laser floor scanner technology.
