Machine Tending

Robot tending of machines is a highly effective solution for improving productivity, efficiency, and safety in manufacturing environments. At our company, we specialize in installing both collaborative and industrial robots on lathes and stamping presses. We have installed automated systems from presses that were forty years old to brand new equipment. No matter the age of your machine, we can run it with a robot.

Collaborative robots

Collaborative robots are designed to work alongside human operators and can be used without a safety cage, making them inherently safer for people to work around. They have the added benefit of being highly adaptable, so they can be quickly programmed to handle different tasks and processes as needed.

Industrial Robots

Industrial robots, on the other hand, are ideal for applications that require high speeds and heavy payloads. They can perform complex movements with a high degree of accuracy and precision, making them ideal for tending to large or complex machines. Though they require a safety cage, they can be programmed to operate autonomously, freeing up human workers to focus on other tasks. Industrial robots can also be used in hazardous environments where it would be unsafe for humans to work, such as areas with high temperatures or toxic fumes.

We’ll work with you

At our company, we work closely with our customers to determine the best type of robot for their specific needs. Our team of experts can provide guidance on everything from choosing the right robot to developing customized programming to ensure optimal performance. By integrating robots into their manufacturing processes, our customers have seen significant improvements in productivity, efficiency, and safety. With our robot tending solutions, they can streamline their operations, reduce costs, and increase output without sacrificing quality or safety.
