Check out some of our best systems in one quick video

Customer Success - Robotic Palletizer

Palletizing is one of the more tedious, dangerous, and repetitive jobs at any manufacturing facility. Napco brands was looking to increase the output on their single-serve coffee cup packaging lines and a palletizer at the end of the line was the perfect way to do it. Click below to see how we installed two sealing and palletizing systems at Napco Brands that paid for themselves in less than a year.

Customer Success - Automated Lathe Tending

In order to meet demand for one of their parts, a manufacturer came to us looking to get two new lathes each with collaborative robots to tend them. Check out how we used two Universal Robot UR5e’s and two Tormach Slant Pro lathes to complete this automation project.

Customer Success - XY Spray Table

One of our repeat customers, Orion Industries, needed a better way to spray small parts. We mounted a spray gun to an XY gantry system to ensure that all parts were coated evenly.

Customer Success - Cobot Press Tending

In partnership with FPE Automation and Formic Technologies, we collaborated to turn a fifty year old press into a fully automated work cell capable of almost tripling production. In the plant managers words, “Your robot did in three days what takes my guys almost two weeks.”

Customer Success - Cobot Pick and Place

This customer had two operators loading two filling stations that developed two-part epoxy syringes. The operator spent the majority of their ship waiting for the syringes to fill so they could weigh them and place them in a box. With our dual machine tending solution, we are able to double the output for one operator.

Customer Success - Automated Press Loading

We designed, built, and programmed an automated press loading system. It is fed parts from Asyril’s Asycube530 flex feeder and uses a 6-axis robotic arm with a vision system to pick parts and load them into a press.

Customer Success - Dual Part Feeding System

In order to dramatically increase the cycle time required for a pick and place operation, we used two Asycube 240 parts feeders to supply parts to an Epson T3 SCARA robot with a magnetic gripper. This system was able to handle over 40 different part numbers and reach cycle times as low as 1.31 seconds.

Customer Success - pick and place with Epson Intelliflex

We were able to utilize a brand new system from Epson Robotics to leverage smart technology at a manufacturing plant overseas. This system allowed us to get a complete pick and place operation designed, built, and shipped in less than 12 weeks.
