Mach Medical has partnered with Flexxbotics for advanced robotic machine tending with autonomous process control. 

Flexxbotics’ cutting-edge solution has been fully implemented and enables Mach Medical to further optimize its High Velocity Single-Piece Flow Manufacturing approach—delivering precision, speed, and compliance at scale.

By integrating Flexxbotics’ platform into Mach Medical’s production process, the company achieved a fully autonomous, multi-machine workcell capable of 24/7 ‘lights-out’ operation. 

The cell includes 5-axis vertical milling operations, a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) for in-line inspection, and a custom part wash/blow-off station—all orchestrated by a single robot using Flexxbotics technology.

For the cell, this implementation has already resulted in a 61% increase in production capacity, a 44% boost in throughput, and a 20:1 machine-to-labor ratio—delivering high-quality joint replacement implants with precision and consistency.

“As we continue to scale out operations, robotic digitalization is a key pillar in our smart factory strategy,” said Stephen Rozow, General Manager & Co-founder of Mach Medical. “We view advanced robotic machine tending with Flexxbotics as a real enabler of our expansion and efficiency plans.”

“We are proud to partner with Mach Medical to help them enhance their High Velocity Manufacturing capabilities. We understand that next generation manufacturers in high-precision industries require multi-machine orchestration for multiple parts and operations,” said Tyler Bouchard, CEO & Co-Founder of Flexxbotics. “That’s why Flexxbotics enables advanced robotic machine tending to transform basic tending into robot-driven manufacturing at scale.”
