I was wondering if there are any places that integrate these mills with robotic arms for a automated shop. My friend is looking to integrate 5 mills to cut plastic. Thanks

All robots have I/O, so the mills can be interfaced thru the robot that way....As for websites, no idea. What kind of robot? New or used?

I wish it wouldn't crash.
probably just a pick and place robot. I don't know if new or used probably depends on price. He didn't give me all the specifics just an idea. I thought I would just ask here to point him in the right direction. Man balsaman you seem to be answering alot of my questions I should just e-mail you directly :cheers:

By i/o I mean inputs and outputs. So, after the robot places the part in the mill, it can start a g code program (for example), then when the mill is done, it can let the robot know it's ready to be reloaded.

Maybe I'm wrong but wouldnt commercial mass production of a plastic part be more economically and efficiently done by injection molding rather than 5 robots and 5 cnc mini mills?
from what I gathered is that this person milling off some extra flash.
