Case Study: Intelligent Manufacturing Company, Shanghai
The customer required an automated production line for machining engine cylinder heads and transmission valve bodies. STON Robotics’ equipment was applied to the automatic loading and unloading system of CNC machine tools and auxiliary machines.
Based on a deep understanding of CNC machining processes and truss robot operations, the solution integrates logistics line coordination, communication routing, and safety protection, fully meeting the requirements of an automated loading and unloading system.

System Overview
● Stacking Height: 13 layers
● Production Schedule: 300 working days/year, 22.5 hours/day
● Equipment Utilization Rate: 85%
● Cycle Time: ≤ 688 s/piece
● Gripping Load: ≤ 30 kg

Fast Deployment in 2 Months
Traditional automated 3D warehouse and production integration systems typically require 6–10 months for delivery. With STON Robotics’ integrated drive-control and Cabinetless Control System®, implementation time is significantly reduced to as fast as 2 months.

Increased Storage Capacity (+20%)
Compared with traditional stacker cranes (9 levels), the STON system adopts gear-and-rack transmission with servo motor drive and a rope-free structure, enabling stacking up to 11 levels, increasing storage capacity by 20%.

Energy Efficiency (-40%)
The system adopts Glink-II industrial bus technology, achieving millisecond-level data exchange for high-speed coordination and control.
This enables more than 30% improvement in line efficiency compared with traditional control methods, while significantly enhancing system safety and reliability, and reducing energy consumption by up to 40%.
