Your First Automation Investment Shouldn't Limit Your Future Growth
With FPS Stationary (FPS-S), Fastems expands its automation portfolio with a compact pallet automation solution for 4 and 5-axis CNC machining. Designed specifically for high-mix, low-volume production, FPS-S provides an easy entry into CNC automation while offering a clear path to a full linear Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) as production evolves.
High-mix, low-volume manufacturers know that production rarely stays the same for long. New contracts, new part families and changing capacity requirements demand an automation strategy that can adapt without forcing costly reinvestments.
For many aerospace and defense suppliers, the challenge is finding the right starting point. Today's automation investment needs to deliver immediate value while leaving room for tomorrow's growth.
That's exactly where FPS Stationary (FPS-S) comes in.
Designed for 4 and 5-axis CNC machining, FPS-S provides a compact, space-efficient entry into pallet automation. As production requirements evolve, the modular system can be expanded step by step into a full linear Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS), allowing manufacturers to increase capacity without replacing their original investment.
Whether you're machining complex aerospace components or supporting rapidly changing defense programs, FPS-S gives manufacturers the flexibility to automate today and scale with confidence tomorrow.
Learn how FPS-S supports the next step in high-mix CNC automation.
