Building on the momentum of their successful collaboration at FABTECH 2024 in Orlando, MC Machinery Systems Inc. and Acieta are once again joining forces at FABTECH 2025 in Chicago to showcase the power of robotic press brake automation—featuring the FastBEND and RIBS (Robotic Intelligent Bending System).
As part of the ongoing “Banish Bottlenecks” campaign, this partnership continues to deliver real solutions to manufacturers looking to increase throughput, reduce labor dependency, and eliminate production slowdowns.
Attendees can experience both FastBEND and RIBS in action at MC Machinery’s booth A2123, where cutting-edge robotic press brake automation takes center stage.
To further the conversation, the two companies are co-hosting a special podcast episode, "Banishing Bottlenecks: Robotic Press Brake Automation Demystified," featuring Darren Lubeke, Application Engineering Manager at Acieta, and Christian Grindle, Robotic Specialist at MC Machinery. The episode will answer common questions about robotic press brake integration, including flexibility, throughput, and real-world implementation.
Additionally, Christian Grindle and Joey Kernen, RIBS Coordinator at Acieta, will be featured speakers at FABTECH’s expert technology panel:
🎤 "Unlocking the Future of Manufacturing: The Power of Press Brake Automation"
📅 Tuesday, September 10, 2025 | 10:00 – 11:30 AM CST | Room S403A
📍 McCormick Place, Chicago IL
“Banish Bottlenecks' is more than putting a robot on a piece of equipment” said Grindle. “It’s about finding an experienced partner that can precisely target your pain points and administer the right type of automation for the task This is what makes our collaboration with Acieta so powerful”.
Together, MC Machinery and Acieta are showcasing what’s possible when robotic integration meets smart bending technology—and giving manufacturers the tools to bend without limits.
