Machining Automation

Expert integrators of machining automation solutions that are built around you.

Smarter Automation Starts Here

At AME, automation isn’t an accessory — it’s a strategy. As a partner in development of the Hennig Workflow and an integration partner for RoboJob-USA, we help manufacturers boost productivity, reduce labor needs, and scale operations with systems that are engineered to fit.

Whether you’re running one machine or building out a full lights-out cell, we design automation that aligns with your parts, your people, and your goals.

  • Full-System Integration | Robots, tooling, software, and support — aligned from the start.
  • End-to-End Partnership | From discovery to deployment and beyond — we’re with you every step.

Automation that Works from Day One

We’re not just resellers. We’re builders and problem-solvers who bring deep experience across automation, machining, and manufacturing systems. That means faster installs, smarter systems, and higher returns from the moment you hit cycle start.

"Our vision was to get to the point of unattended automation. We weren’t sure how we’d do it, but someday it’d be time to move quickly because there would be a demand,” Goddard explained. “Then, in mid-November 2023, I asked AME if they could get the [automated pallet system] by the end of the year, and they did. We’ve had great success, and we are off and running.”

Best-in-Class Technology, Seamlessly Integrated

We partner with industry leaders to deliver proven, production-ready systems tailored to your shop floor.

Hennig and RoboJob USA are each rock-solid automation providers, and at AME, we regularly see the value they bring to shops like yours. And speaking of rock-solid—AMROK, our in-house workholding division, pairs your automation solution with the perfect workholding for the work you’ll do.

Optimized Pallet Loading

Hennig Workflow

Introducing the Hennig Workflow, a streamlined pallet changing solution designed, built, and supported by the Hennig/AME team. Engineered with practicality and reliability at its core, the Hennig Workflow simplifies CNC machine loading and unloading without unnecessary complexity.

This system efficiently transfers pallets between your machine and the pallet system, keeping machinists productive while your equipment remains active. With a compact footprint considerably smaller than other bolt-on or retrofit pallet changers, the Hennig Workflow makes premium automation accessible to every shop.

Smarter Machine Tending. Ready to Run.

ROBOJOB

RoboJob-USA delivers compact, easy-to-use robotic systems for automating part loading and unloading on CNC mills and lathes. With the Mill-Assist and Turn-Assist series, shops can reduce labor dependency, increase spindle time, and boost consistency — all within a small footprint and short deployment timeline.

As an integration partner, AME enhances RoboJob systems with the full engineering and tooling infrastructure needed to make automation truly plug-and-play — and truly effective. We don’t just install a robot. We build the complete system around it.

Let's Build the Right System—Together

Whether you’re automating one machine or launching a full lights-out line, AME has the technology, talent, and tools to make it happen — and make it last.

 

Real-World Application

Small Shop Success

“The difference was not just the automation — it was the full system AME brought to the table.”

In this case study, a small machine shop overcame labor shortages and increased capacity by integrating a machine tending system. The result? Reliable overnight operation, better part consistency, and a smarter, more efficient workflow.
