Unlocking Unmanned Production with Cellro

Precision manufacturing faces a fundamental tension: the need for consistent, high-quality output versus the constraints of skilled labour and machine utilisation. For many workshops, the solution lies not in working harder, but in working smarter—extending the productive hours of precision machines beyond the limits of the working day.

This is where Cellro enters the picture. Founded on the belief that today's high-quality machining industry is filled with untapped potential, Cellro develops automation solutions that enable CNC machine tools to run unattended, maximising productivity without compromising precision. Their flagship system, Xcelerate, is designed to load workpieces and pallets into a single machine—whether it's a new or existing milling machine, lathe, measuring machine, or sharpening machine—allowing production batches to be completed automatically.



What makes Xcelerate truly foundational to precision work is its combination of flexibility and ease of use. Operators can move the system within 15 minutes when production needs change. When automation is not required, the CNC machine remains available for regular manual production. This means workshops can scale their output up or down without sacrificing the quality that defines precision work.

For MQTooling, Cellro represents a critical piece of the precision foundation: the ability to produce consistently, reliably, and efficiently—whether an operator is at the machine or not. With return on investment typically achieved within 1 to 1.5 years, Xcelerate is not just an automation solution; it is a strategic investment in the future of precision manufacturing.

Info
Precision manufacturing demands consistent output. Cellro's Xcelerate automation unlocks unmanned production, giving workshops the ability to maximise machine utilisation while maintaining the quality standards that define precision work.


Brand Spotlight

The Cellro Philosophy

Cellro operates on a simple premise: to remain globally competitive, the machining industry needs to produce more cost-effectively without compromising on quality. The only way to achieve this through flexible automation—systems that adapt to changing production requirements while delivering predictable, reliable performance. Xcelerate embodies this philosophy.

Key Benefits of Choosing Cellro for Your Precision Foundation
Extended Unmanned Production
The Xcelerate system enables CNC machine tools to run unattended, completing production batches automatically. This means:
  1. Machines produce overnight and over weekends – maximising spindle utilisation
  2. Consistent quality without operator fatigue – precision is maintained shift after shift
  3. Scalable output – increase production capacity without adding labour

For precision workshops, this translates directly to more parts produced to specification, with less variability.
Compact and Flexible Design
Xcelerate systems are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing workshop layouts. Key features include:
  1. Removable drawers with adjustable pitch to accommodate varying product heights
  2. Minimal footprint – automation that doesn't consume valuable floor space
  3. Operator access maintained – the CNC machine remains accessible for manual work when automation is not in use

This flexibility ensures that automation adapts to the workshop, not the other way around.
Multiple Models for Diverse Applications
Cellro offers Xcelerate in several configurations to match different workpiece sizes and weights:

Model
Capacity
Best Suited For

Xcelerate X10
Up to 12kg
Lighter products, compact handling

Xcelerate X20
Up to 35kg
Manageable products requiring robust handling

Xcelerate X15 


Xcelerate X35
Variable
Pallet and product handling combination

Xcelerate X60
Heavy / Large
Larger products with high storage capacity

Each model is engineered to handle specific weight ranges and storage requirements, ensuring that workshops can match the automation system precisely to their production needs.
Seamless Integration with Existing CNC Machines
Xcelerate is designed to work with both new and existing equipment, including:
  1. Milling machines (Makino, DMG, Mazak, GROB, Fanuc)
  2. Lathes
  3. Measuring machines
  4. Sharpening machines

This versatility means workshops can add automation to their current fleet without replacing existing capital equipment—a critical consideration for precision-focused operations.
Proven Return on Investion
Cellro's automation solutions are engineered to deliver measurable financial returns:
  1. ROI within 1 to 1.5 years – rapid payback through increased utilisation
  2. Reduced labour costs – operators focus on challenging work while machines run unattended
  3. Increased throughput – more parts produced per machine per day
  4. Lower cost per part – fixed costs spread across higher volume

For precision workshops, this means automation pays for itself while enabling more consistent, higher-quality production.
