About This Listing
Equipment Details
A 2021 Robovanta RV-Tend 12 robot machine-tending cell, taken in on trade at our Vaughan Tech Centre. This 12 kg payload cell with dual part trays is built to tend a single VMC or lathe through unattended shifts, and it carries genuinely low hours for its age. Our automation technicians ran the arm, gripper and safety fencing through a full test cycle before listing it. Currently reserved for a customer finalizing cell layout; contact us to be notified if it becomes available again.
Traded in by a Vaughan-area machine shop reconfiguring its cell around a larger VMC. Robot arm, gripper and safety fencing tested through a full cycle with no fault codes; part-tray fixturing shows light cosmetic wear only. Currently reserved pending final buyer walkthrough.

Robovanta RV-Tend 12
The RV-Tend 12 is Robovanta's entry machine-tending cell, built to load and unload parts on an existing CNC mill, lathe or grinder so it keeps running through breaks, shift changes and overnight. A 12 kg payload and 1,650 mm reach cover the majority of small-to-mid part tending jobs, with a dual-shelf storage tower holding up to 48 parts between operator visits. The cell talks to any CNC control through a universal machine-tool interface, so it drops in next to a Kaizora VMC just as readily as an existing machine already on your floor. Tollaston typically pairs the RV-Tend 12 with a customer's first automation project — a single repeat job that currently ties up an operator for a full shift is usually the fastest payback.

Robovanta RV-Tend 20
The RV-Tend 20 scales Robovanta's tending platform up to a 20 kg payload and 2,000 mm reach for heavier castings, larger fixtures and multi-part pallets that outgrow the RV-Tend 12. An optional 7th-axis rail lets a single robot service two or three machines in a row instead of sitting dedicated to one, which is where the real automation payback shows up for shops running several similar machines. A modular storage tower holds up to 96 parts, and a tool-changer-equipped gripper handles multiple part geometries in the same cell. Tollaston is the flagship automation recommendation for customers with a Kaizora HMC or KM-2600 mill-turn cell already running production, where the RV-Tend 20's payload and reach match the larger parts those machines handle.
