Smart, Efficient Automation for Every Stage of Production
Automation Within Reach eliminates unnecessary manual touches throughout your component manufacturing process. Our team designs, builds, and tests each system to ensure it meets your needs and delivers the expected efficiency. With custom automation, more integration often means better results. By automating as many steps as possible, we reduce tedious labor, maximize robot and machine utilization, minimize scrap, and lower the per-part cost of production.
As a full-service machine tool automation integrator, we take a holistic approach—optimizing your entire manufacturing process for maximum efficiency and performance.
Raw Material Handling
Our custom fixtures ensure that parts are organized for seamless automated pick-up, reducing manual handling and improving efficiency.Machine Load & Unload
From loading raw materials to unloading finished parts, our automation moves products seamlessly through each step—whether it’s additional machining, inspection, assembly, or packaging.2D Vision
Our 2D vision technology allows operators to place parts on a conveyor without worrying about orientation. The robot identifies, selects, and correctly positions each part for machine loading.Material Removal
Our robotic solutions enhance precision in trimming and deburring, optimize flexibility and accuracy, reduce skilled labor reliance, and improve part consistency through automation.3D Vision
Our advanced 3D vision bin-picking technology eliminates the need for special packaging or staging. Robots can pick raw materials directly from crates, minimizing manual labor and streamlining production.In-Process Inspection
We integrate inspection directly into the process, using real-time data to adjust machining parameters automatically. This ensures precision, reduces human error, and minimizes scrap.Automated Assembly
From installing bearings to assembling bolted joints, our solutions remove manual labor and errors, ensuring consistent, high-quality assembly.
Part Cleaning
We automate part handling for cleaning systems, ovens, and rust inhibitor stations, enhancing efficiency and consistency in your finishing processes.Palletizing & Packaging
Our solutions enable flexible unloading of finished parts—whether into racks, standard or custom pallets, or boxes—ensuring smooth transitions to the next stage of your operation.
