Custom CNC Tending Solution
VersaBuilt – CNC Tending Product
House of Design has partnered with Rekluse Motorsports to develop the VersaBuilt system, following the development of a custom machine for Rekluse by House of Design. This is a Plug-and-Play solution for tending CNC equipment, specifically Vertical Machining Centers (VMC). The first product is the VBX-160, to tend components up to 14 pounds and a maximum of 8-inches x 8-inches.
The VersaBuilt VBX-160 can run lights out for a starting price of $95,000, fully installed at the customer’s site.
