ROBOTIC MOLD TENDING AND VISION INSPECTION
Do you still use manual molding machine tending in 2023? It's time to take a serious look at using robotics to improve your process and quality results. Robots can help you achieve better results, faster, and with greater consistency.
Automatic Assembly and Leak Check
Factory leaders: do you have small, delicate, manual assembly work that is not meeting your yield expectations?
Our hands are just amazing gifts, but they weren’t designed to assemble hundreds of small parts each day and at times they are the source of the quality variation.
Automatic Parts Picking – Bin Pick
Bin picking parts using robots is reliable. It can help you re-skill your team members and move them from low value roles like parts moving, into high value roles using their full cognitive capabilities.

Cobots Are Revolutionizing Camera Holding for Better Films: and curing back pain :)
In the world of film production, every detail matters. From the lighting and sound to the camera angles, filmmakers seek to capture the perfect shot. However, one often overlooked aspect is the camera holding itself. Traditional camera holding techniques can be limited by the human body's physical capabilities and endurance, leading to shaky shots and imprecise movements. That's where cobots come in.
Smart Factories
Factory leaders, do you prefer to use Google Maps or Waze?
For sure it’s not paper maps…what a nightmare those used to be. Take one wrong turn and you were pulling over to find the map out of the glove box. It feels like a lifetime ago. The simple joy of being perpetually re-routed and alerted to changing conditions is so ubiquitous we can hardly remember life before that…with the ‘paper maps’. 😊
Machine Tending - Medical Dilator Overmolding
Factory leaders, do you have operators in dirty or dangerous roles? Are your process metrics suffering from variation in cycle time? Machine tending can be repetitive and it’s not a great way to utilize one of your more valuable resources – team member time. These types of jobs are often the toughest to fill and the first to turnover. If this sounds familiar, it’s time to think about adopting robots to improve the safety and cost of your shop.
Microscopic Inspection using AI
Factory leaders, do you have operators using microscopes to inspect critical elements?
The human eye is an amazing thing, but it has been optimized over many generations to make observations across large landscapes. Its suboptimal to have your team members making judgements on small components. This can lead to reduced yield and waste on the factory floor. Advances in machine vision can improve your process and allow your team members to shift into higher roles on the floor.
Medical Catheter Tip Inspection Improvement
Factory leaders, have you ever been frustrated with the variation in your quality inspections from one operator to another? We know how you feel…
