CNC ROUTERS AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

Automation Without the Black Box

PROBOTIX builds configurable motion systems, adaptable control platforms, and automation-ready machines for small-to-mid-scale manufacturing.

CNC Routers Are Tools — PROBOTIX Builds Systems

A CNC router is not the end product. It is the motion platform.

PROBOTIX builds complete machine systems that combine mechanics, control architecture, configurability, and long-term support into practical automation platforms. That means our machines are not limited to one type of material, one type of customer, or one narrow workflow.

Built for Production, Prototyping, and Process Automation

PROBOTIX systems are designed for manufacturers, engineering teams, startups, schools, labs, and production environments that need more than a generic router in a crate.

• Product development and prototyping
• Short-run and repeatable production
• Fixtures, jigs, tooling, and process aids
• Educational and STEM lab environments
• Automation-ready machine workflows

More Than Woodworking

Woodworking, cabinetry, sign making, and panel processing remain important use cases — but they are only part of the story.

PROBOTIX platforms are equally valuable for plastics, composites, non-ferrous machining, fixture manufacturing, electronics support, and other production-floor workflows where repeatability matters.

• Plastics machining including HDPE, UHMW, acrylic, and PVC
• Composite materials including fiberglass, carbon fiber, and G10
• Aluminum and other light non-ferrous machining
• Vacuum-table part processing
• PCB drilling, light routing, and electronics support work
• Foam, packaging, patterns, molds, and soft-material cutting

One Platform. Endless Processes.

The real value of a PROBOTIX system is that it can be configured as a programmable automation platform — not just a cutting machine.

• Adhesive dispensing with repeatable G-code-driven bead patterns
• Pick-and-place and light assembly with vacuum or mechanical grippers
• Marking, engraving, scribing, and traceability workflows
• Inspection, probing, surface mapping, and automated QA routines
• Hybrid workflows that cut, mark, probe, or dispense in one coordinated process

Production-Floor Automation Example: Injection Mold De-Gating

A strong example of the platform concept is injection mold de-gating: automated trimming and cleanup of molded plastic parts after molding.

With fixture-based part location and repeatable toolpaths, a PROBOTIX system can help reduce manual labor, improve consistency, and increase throughput in plastics post-processing environments.

• Consistent removal of gates and runners
• Reduced manual trimming variability
• Better repeatability for batch processing workflows
• Natural fit for fixtures, conveyors, part nests, and post-processing cells

Open Control Architecture with LinuxCNC

PROBOTIX systems are built around LinuxCNC because serious automation requires precision, configurability, and long-term control over the platform.

• Open, supportable architecture instead of a locked ecosystem
• Signal-driven automation, preprocessors, and custom workflows
• Expandable hardware options including Mesa Ethernet I/O and integration-ready control paths
• A platform that can evolve with the process instead of boxing it in

Configurable Machine and Control Platforms

Different production needs require different levels of rigidity, scale, speed, and control integration. PROBOTIX offers machine platforms and controller options that can be matched to the actual process.

• GX Series — compact, capable CNC platforms for production, prototyping, and flexible shop use
• EX Series — higher-rigidity machine platforms with ball screws, servo options, and linear rails
• EXR Series — large-format rack-and-pinion platforms for bigger process envelopes
• Control systems — controller platforms such as Unity2E and DCP-ETH for configurable machine automation

Designed, Machined, Built, and Supported in the USA

PROBOTIX systems are not simply imported machines with a domestic label attached. We maintain real control over manufacturing, configuration, support, and customization.

That matters when a customer needs something beyond an off-the-shelf workflow.

Support That Matches the Platform

A configurable machine is only valuable if it can be supported over the long term. PROBOTIX emphasizes serviceability, real technical support, and long-term ownership value.

The sales question should not just be “What are you cutting?” It should be “What process are you trying to automate?”

PROBOTIX is a flexible automation platform built on CNC motion systems.
