PuttyPatch: Plywood Defect Repair
Vision finds splits and knots in plywood, then a robot injects wood putty right where it's needed.
Find it. Fix it. Keep production moving.
When off-the-shelf equipment falls short, Sync Robotics designs and builds custom industrial machinery and robotic systems for your exact process. One team takes it from concept and engineering through fabrication, integration, testing and deployment.
Describe the problem you want to automate. An automation engineer will review it and follow up with next steps.

Every system below started as a production problem with no off-the-shelf answer. Press play to watch each one running on the floor.
Cutting tensioned banding by hand is one of the most hazardous jobs in material handling. DeBander combines robotics, machine vision, conveyance and engineered end-of-arm tooling to find the best cut points, then cuts, captures and shreds the bands while dunnage is picked and palletized automatically.
Identify. Cut. Remove. Ready for production.
Vision finds splits and knots in plywood, then a robot injects wood putty right where it's needed.
Find it. Fix it. Keep production moving.
A robot loads your machining center from a carousel, runs each cycle and returns finished parts.
Load once. Machine automatically. Produce more.
2D vision locates veneer defects and positions each one for removal and a durable butterfly patch.
Detect. Position. Patch.
An AGV with built-in conveyance moves plywood lifts between processes and cuts forklift traffic.
Move more. Fewer forklifts. Steady flow.
Your process doesn't have to look like these. Each one began as a single customer's problem. Several are now pre-engineered platforms we can adapt to your line, which shortens engineering time and lowers project risk.
One team owns your project from the first feasibility test to long-term support. No hand-offs between an engineering firm, a fabricator and a separate integrator.
Simulation and hands-on testing with your real parts confirm cycle time, robot choice and vision.
Mechanical, electrical, controls, robot and vision design, right-sized to your process and budget.
Robotics, vision, controls and conveyance fabricated and integrated into a single working system.
Tested against your performance targets, then installed and commissioned by the team that built it.
24/7 remote and on-site support, scheduled maintenance and continuous improvement after go-live.
SyncLabs helps manufacturers prove an automation concept before committing significant capital. Our R&D lab pairs experienced automation engineers with simulation software and hands-on testing.
Using your real production parts wherever possible, we recreate the key elements of your application in a controlled environment. That lets us test concepts, find risks early, choose the right equipment and confirm performance before anything is built.
Validate first. Invest with confidence.
We engineer around your process, production targets and business goals, so you get the system you need without extra complexity or cost.
Dedicated project managers and engineers handle mechanical, electrical, controls, robot and vision work, from concept through to deployment.
Our Controls & Automation team supports Sync systems and third-party equipment, with 24/7 remote and on-site service built around your plant.
Tell us what you're trying to automate. An automation engineer will review it and talk through what a custom solution could look like.
