VersaBuilt Showcases Practical CNC Automation Solutions for High-Mix Manufacturing at IMTS 2026

Visitors to Booth #236300 can experience standardized CNC automation systems designed to simplify deployment, reduce labor constraints, and increase machine utilization.

BOISE, Idaho — VersaBuilt will showcase its standardized CNC automation solutions at IMTS 2026, demonstrating how manufacturers can automate CNC mills and lathes without the complexity typically associated with robotic automation.


Designed specifically for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, VersaBuilt's automation systems provide machine shops with a practical path to increased productivity through standardized hardware, intuitive software, and rapid deployment. Rather than relying on custom integration and extensive robot programming, VersaBuilt's solutions are engineered to help shops automate faster, train operators more easily, and expand automation with confidence.

At IMTS, attendees will see VersaBuilt's MultiGrip™ Mill Automation System, DuoGrip™ Lathe Automation System, and ZPS Vise/Pallet Loading System in action. Together, these systems support a wide variety of part sizes, geometries, and production requirements while enabling manufacturers to maximize spindle utilization and reduce labor challenges.

A defining feature of VersaBuilt's automation platform is its no-programming-required approach. Operators can quickly teach new parts, adjust workflows, and begin production without relying on robot programmers or outside integrators. Many systems can be installed and producing parts in as little as one day, minimizing implementation costs and production downtime.

Visitors to the VersaBuilt booth will have the opportunity to meet directly with the engineers behind the company's automation solutions. Attendees are encouraged to discuss their applications, production goals, and automation challenges with the team and receive practical recommendations tailored to their operations.

Additional VersaBuilt benefits include:
• Standardized hardware and software across multiple machine platforms
• Fast deployment with rapid return on investment
• Flexible workholding and gripper options
• Remote support and software updates
• Scalable automation solutions for mills, lathes, and pallet loading
• Collaborative robot compatibility

"Manufacturers don't need automation that's more complicated—they need automation that's easier to implement and easier to scale," said Ben Blaine, President. "Our goal at IMTS is to show machine shops that practical automation is within reach and that standardized systems can deliver measurable productivity gains without the traditional barriers."

VersaBuilt invites IMTS attendees to visit Booth #236300 for live demonstrations, meet one-on-one with the engineering team, and learn how standardized CNC automation can help increase throughput, reduce labor constraints, and simplify automation for high-mix manufacturing environments.
