COLUMBIA CITY, IN, Oct 17, 2025 – Mach Medical has implemented Flexxbotics’ robotic machine-tending system to support autonomous process control in its high-speed, single-piece flow manufacturing line.
The Flexxbotics platform enables a multi-machine workcell capable of 24/7 operation. The cell includes 5-axis vertical milling machines, a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) for inspection, and a custom part wash/blow-off station. All operations are coordinated by a single robot using Flexxbotics technology.
For the cell, this implementation has resulted in a 61% increase in production capacity, a 44% boost in throughput, and a 20:1 machine-to-labor ratio – delivering joint replacement implants.
“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.”
Mach Medical was founded to modernize orthopedic implant manufacturing and delivery. The company provides implants with a three-week lead time and lot sizes as small as one unit. This approach helps orthopedic manufacturers reduce inventory by up to 83%. With inventory costs reaching 8% or more of sales, the resulting savings can rival OEMs R&D budgets R&D budgets. To achieve this agility, the production system requires a manufacturing system that can manage multiple SKUs, integrate in-line inspection and compliance, and ensure traceability. Flexxbotics technology enables these capabilities.
The Flexxbotics solution gives robots control of the workcell, connecting to all machines and software systems. Inspection data from CMM is routed to CNC machines in real time, enabling closed-loop process adjustments. This setup supports continuous autonomous operation with FDA compliance, including Device History File (DHF) traceability for each implant.
“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.”
