Tezmaksan automates production for Turkish manufacturer
UFC Automotive adopts its second CubeBOX system to support efficient production
Tezmaksan Robot Technologies, a global manufacturer of CNC automation systems, has announced its evolving partnership with UFC Automotive, a leading original parts manufacturer based in Turkey. As part of this partnership, Tezmaksan has commissioned its second CubeBOX automation line at UFC Automotive's tractor clutch production facility. The new installation marks a significant step in UFC Automotive's digital transformation journey, facilitating continuous, robot-assisted production and delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, quality and manufacturing sustainability.
The partnership builds on more than a decade of cooperation between the two companies and reflects a shared commitment to modernising Turkish manufacturing through automation. According to The Global Economy, industry represented 25.94 per cent of Turkey's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, highlighting the sector's strategic weight and the growing need for modern, digitally driven production technologies.
UFC Automotive manufactures tractor clutch systems for both domestic and global markets as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original equipment supplier (OES). Due to the critical functional role of clutch systems, the company prioritises precision, stability and traceability in its production operations.
"We've partnered with Tezmaksan as a reliable partner to help bring our production processes into the digital transformation era," said Can Çetin, partner at UFC Automotive. "With Tezmaksan's technical support and systems, we integrated the system without hesitation, and we've already seen an increase in productivity."
The new CubeBOX robotic automation system continuously feeds three different CNC machines for 22 hours per day, automating a process previously requiring three operators. This transition has allowed the company to boost productivity by 35 per cent and increase cost savings by 50 per cent across its tractor clutch production.
By adopting a second CubeBOX system, UFC Automotive aims to secure higher process consistency, minimise manual handling and ensure sustainable, repeatable production quality.
"Turkish industry has enormous digital transformation potential and our work with UFC Automotive is a strong demonstration of what can be achieved with practical, well-engineered automation," said Hakan Aydogu, Group CEO at Tezmaksan. "Our CubeBOX systems feed multiple CNC machines for extended periods, supporting efficient, operator-friendly production."
UFC Automotive plans to continue its investment in digital transformation with Tezmaksan in upcoming projects, reinforcing its goal to increase efficiency, ensure quality and maintain competitive in both domestic and international markets.
"Collaborations like this allow us to combine our automation expertise with the real production needs of manufacturers," explained Aydogdu. "Our goal is to make advanced CNC automation accessible to a wider range of companies and to support their transition toward more efficient, reliable and data-driven production."

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
