Robot cells that pay back in 19 months

For plants that can't fill second and third shift. We design, build and test the cell, then install it over a weekend.

  • 01 · Palletising

    End of line, every shift

    Cases, bags and trays stacked to your pattern, up to 22 a minute.

  • 02 · Welding

    MIG and spot welding cells

    Repeatable welds on FANUC and ABB robots, with fixtures built in-house.

  • 03 · Machine tending

    One operator, six machines

    Robots load lathes and mills through the night so your people run the day.

From the plant floor

Running on Monday, as promised

“We shut down Friday at six. Monday morning the cell was stacking pallets, and nobody had to babysit it.”

Renee KowalskiPlant manager, snack foods [sample]

“The 72-hour test caught a gripper issue in their shop, not on our floor. That alone paid for the visit.”

Marcus BellOperations director, packaging [sample]

“Third shift was empty for a year. Now two robots tend six lathes overnight.”

How a cell goes in

Four steps and one weekend shutdown

  1. Engineer programming a cell on a laptopWeeks 1–3

    Simulate

    Your line is modelled first, so cycle time is proven before steel is cut.

  2. Pneumatic valves and air lines on a gripper being builtWeeks 4–10

    Build

    Frame, fixtures, guarding and panels built and wired in our Grand Rapids shop.

  3. Engineer running a test on a laptop beside a robot cell72 hours

    Test

    The cell runs your parts for 72 hours while your team watches and signs off.

  4. Engineers walking past orange robot arms on a plant floorOne weekend

    Install

    Rigged in Friday night, running Monday, with our engineer on your first shift.
