Applications

Real-World Automation Applications

Installing and integrating robots is the end process. How we get there is what sets us apart from our competitors. Our collaborative approach ensures we find the right robotic applications that you need to boost productivity and achieve your business objectives.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of the most common applications we can deliver for your manufacturing team.

Palletizing /
De-Palletizing

We can deploy robots fitted with innovative vision systems and grippers to efficiently stack and unstack items on pallets. This process speeds up your operations, optimizes warehouse space, and reduces manual labor and workplace accidents.

High Speed
Pick & Place

Minimizing errors and maximizing throughput are common issues on manufacturing packing and sorting lines. High-speed delta or SCARA robots built with precise vision guidance can transform your pick-and-place operations, making your facility quicker, more accurate, and more competitive.

CNC Machine Tending

Manually loading and unloading raw material parts into your CNC machines requires a lot of labor. Our robots can integrate with machine interfaces to automate these processes while making your facility a safer and more productive environment.

Milling /
Routing

Our robots can help you transform your milling and routing processes by assisting with material handling, workpiece loading and unloading, and tool changing. These technologies optimize the overall process and bring the return on investment that only automation can provide.

Product Assembly

We deploy robots equipped with specialized end-effectors that help perform assembly tasks such as screwing, pressing, and inserting components, helping you reduce production time, accuracy, and client satisfaction.

Screwdriving

Robots equipped with screwdriving tools and force sensors can automate screw fastening, ensuring the precision and consistency your operations need. With quick changeovers and a capacity for a wide range of screw sizes, you can handle various assembly tasks with minimal reconfiguration.

Nailing & Stapling

Robotic automation has transformed many fastening techniques, including nailing and stapling. Using a control system for a robot arm, an end effector, and a vision system means your packaging, furniture manufacturing, or pallet production becomes more consistent and cost- effective.

Deburring

Quality control and consistency are essential parts of metal manufacturing. Deploying robots with deburring tools and sanding belts means you can deliver the machine parts free from burrs, sharp edges, and imperfections that your clients and workers need for safe handling, reduced friction, and improved adhesion for coatings and paints.

Polishing

Creating a smooth, shiny, and refined surface for your materials is precisely the sort of repetitive, labor-intensive task that robotic automation was built to solve. Whether it's mechanical, electrolytic, or chemical polishing, robots equipped with polishing tools or buffing wheels can help you achieve consistent finishes and reduce operator fatigue.

Sanding

Our robots use advanced 3D guided vision technology combined with specialized sanding tools and dynamic force compliance to ensure high-quality surface preparation and finishing every time. Whether preparing surfaces for paint, finishing metal components, or producing smooth finishes on furniture and fixtures, we’ve got your back.

Wood Repair

Repairing or improving damaged wood surfaces is a traditionally manual task that benefits from robotic assistance. Technological advances mean you can enhance the efficiency and precision of your work with robots built for optimal materials handling, repair compound application, and sanding and finishing.

Welding

Robotic automation for welding has become increasingly popular in manufacturing and fabrication industries thanks to its consistency, efficiency, and safety. As businesses continue to feel the effects of a labor shortage of skilled and experienced welders, modern robotic welders fitted with advanced sensors and machine vision systems are here to help.

Adhesive Application

Robotic adhesive application systems ensure safety, consistency, and flexibility. Control systems powered by high-quality parts and sensors mean that loading, positioning, and bonding your materials has never been quicker or less wasteful, even when dealing with complex shapes and angles.

Box & Case Packing

Automated case-packing machinery enhances worker safety, speed, and accuracy. What’s more, it means your facility can operate 24-7, which is a huge boost for busy manufacturers or teams struggling to meet tight deadlines. Vision-guided delta-style robotic case packers can handle randomly oriented packages and reduce your reliance on traditional collation systems.

Paint Application

Robotic paint application systems have positively impacted manufacturing across a wide range of industries. Integrating industrial robots with paint sprayers or other application tools ensures safe, consistent, and efficient application through 3D scanning, automated path generation, and even part deviation compensation. Moreover, these tools can integrate with conveyor systems to create always-on production environments.
