Seamless Integration, Comprehensive Support

Our approach to FANUC robotic integration is holistic, covering every aspect from initial planning to ongoing maintenance. We start our designs with controls and ensure a seamless integration into your existing systems with minimal disruption, backed by comprehensive support to keep your operations running smoothly.

Proven in Simulation with FANUC ROBOGUIDE

We build your cell in FANUC ROBOGUIDE before we build it in steel. Offline programming and 3D simulation let you watch the robot run your product, at your rate, on your layout, and sign off on the concept while changes still cost nothing.

  • Reach and envelope studies to confirm the right robot model for the job
  • Collision checking against tooling, fixtures, guarding and conveyance
  • Cycle-time verification against your throughput target, before you commit
  • Offline path generation that cuts teach time on the floor
  • Layout options compared side by side while the design is still on screen

The result is a program that arrives at commissioning already validated, and a start-up measured in days rather than weeks.

Turnkey Tooling and Complete Robot Systems

We deliver the cell, not just the robot. End-of-arm tooling, fixtures, guarding, conveyance and the controls that tie them together are designed by one team on one set of drawings, built in our own shop, and commissioned by the people who drew them. One number to call when you need it, and one place where responsibility sits.

End-of-Arm Tooling

Custom grippers, vacuum heads and part-specific EOAT designed around your product rather than adapted from a catalogue, then fabricated and proven before it ships.

Fixtures and Mechanical Design

Robot bases, fixtures, frames, guarding and infeed or outfeed conveyance, cut, bent, welded and assembled in house alongside the controls they run on.

Cell Layout and Safety

Guarding, light curtains, interlocks and safety-rated control circuits laid out to NFPA 79 and current robot safety practice, documented and testable.

Controls and Panels

UL508A control panels built in our own shop, PLC and HMI programming, and the robot-to-line integration that makes the cell part of your process instead of an island beside it.

Installation and Commissioning

Rigging, wiring, start-up and run-off on your floor, with the simulation model as the yardstick for what the cell was supposed to do.

Training and Support

Operator and maintenance training on the cell we built, backed by the same service and support team that covers the rest of your plant.

Engineer Working

“And really, you guys provide this level of being able to think outside of the box a little bit with the design and that was really captured with the catch robot that you guys did for our catch facility. And really, from there it made us think internally, why wouldn’t we use Think-PLC a little bit more.”
