ABOUT AXTON ROBOTICS

A machine shop
run by software engineers.

We make CNC parts in San Diego. We are engineers who write software, so we automated the shop: AI prices your part in seconds, our software runs the schedule, and cobots tend the machines around the clock.

HOW WE BUILT THE SHOP

Most shops add software to machining. We started with the software.

Every step a typical shop does by hand, we wrote code for first. That is why you get a price in seconds, a date you can plan on, and a lower bill.

  • SOFTWAREOur own software runs the shopOrders, machine time, material and shipping live in one system we built. Nothing waits on an email.
  • AIAI prices and plans every partIt reads your 3D file, works out the machining, and keeps every promised date ahead of the queue.
  • COBOTSCobots tend the machinesOur Axton stations load and unload Haas machines, with vision watching every cycle, day and night.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

The future of manufacturing belongs to smart automation.

Industry 4.0 is machines, software and data working as one system. We are building that system one robotic workflow at a time, so it scales from a single prototype to a full production run without adding cost or delay.

OUR PHILOSOPHYGood parts should not cost more than they have to.Most of what makes machining expensive is people doing work machines can do. We automate that work and pass the saving on, so the products you make can cost less too.

OUR STORY

From one cell on a Haas to a shop that runs itself.

  1. Founded in San DiegoSoftware engineers set out to automate CNC machining.
  2. The first Axton stationA cobot, a tray cabinet and our software, tending a Haas VF-2.
  3. Registered with the US governmentCAGE 23X54, active in SAM.gov.
  4. NOWInstant CNC quotes, open to everyoneUpload a 3D file, get a price and a date in seconds.

HOW WE WORK

  • Every part checkedPrecision is the product. Vision watches every cycle, a person checks every part, and a part out of tolerance is remade free.
  • Automate the work, not the customerThe machines are automated so ordering can stay simple: a file, a price, a date. No forms to fill and no back-and-forth.
  • Engineers answerSoftware sets the price, but a person reads your drawing. Ask a question and an engineer replies, not a ticket queue.
  • We grow with shopsMachine shops send us overflow, and the stations that run our floor can run theirs too.

WE ALSO RUN A SHOP

The parts we automate with, ready for your cell.

Cobots, grippers, pneumatics, sensors and safety, picked by the people who run them every day. Order online and ship it to your floor.
