The Houlne Center for Convergent Technology in St. Joseph, Missouri, features an advanced manufacturing cell where a FANUC America Corporation robot operates on a 7th-axis rail, automating tasks for a #CNC mill and lathe from Levil Technology. Developed through a collaboration between Missouri Western State University and North Central Missouri College, this cutting-edge setup gives students hands-on experience in high-tech manufacturing, helping to build a skilled workforce for the region.
Instructor Rick Sharp’s vision and the expertise of APT Manufacturing Solutions and Aidex helped create this custom manufacturing cell.
