Core Capabilities

Mechanics, electrical, software and vision all sit in one team — one less subcontractor means one less unclear line of responsibility.

Capability Overview

Four capabilities that add up to a machine that works

Custom equipment rarely fails because one discipline is weak; it fails because the disciplines do not connect. Our answer is to own all of them.

01

Custom Robot Development

Robot selection and modification, end effector design, cycle-time simulation and path planning.

02

Machine Vision

Guidance, dimensional measurement and surface defect inspection, with algorithms and lighting designed as one.

03

Custom Automation Equipment

Machine structure, feeding and separating, transport and positioning, line interlocking and in-house commissioning.

04

Software & System Integration

PLC programs, HMI, recipe management, data interfaces and platform connectivity.

Capability 01

Custom Robot Development

A robot does not work just because you bought and installed it. Selection, end effector, path, cycle time and handover to the neighbouring process each decide whether it works or just stands there.

  • Robot selection — 6-axis, SCARA or collaborative robots chosen by payload, reach, repeatability and mounting, with modification where needed.
  • End effectors and fixtures — Grippers, vacuum cups and jigs developed in-house around the part geometry; this is what decides pick reliability.
  • Cycle-time simulation and path planning — Simulation checks cycle time and interference, cutting on-site commissioning time.
  • Safety and guarding — Fencing, light curtains and emergency-stop circuits configured to site conditions and standards.

Capability 02

Machine Vision

The hard part of vision is usually not the algorithm but the image itself. Poor lighting defeats the best model. We always design the lighting and the algorithm together.

  • Guidance — Precise coordinates for robots or motion axes, replacing mechanical stops and relaxing the demand on incoming-part consistency.
  • Dimensional and position measurement — In-line measurement of critical dimensions, with data output in real time for judgement and traceability.
  • Surface defect inspection — Scratches, contamination, chips and colour variation judged by combining classical algorithms and deep learning according to the defect type.
  • Multi-camera coordination — Synchronised imaging from multiple stations and angles with cycle-time balancing, giving full inspection in a single load.
  • Data logging — Results and images archived, supporting batch or serial-number traceback and process improvement.
Capability 03

Custom Automation Equipment

Between the concept and the delivered machine lies a great deal of structural detail. We treat that detail as product work, not as drawing work.

  • Feeding and separating mechanisms — Bowl feeders, linear feeders, magazines and trays, selected to suit the material and tuned for stable supply.
  • Stations and transport structure — Rotary tables, speed-chain conveyors and lift-and-locate units, balancing cycle time against future expansion.
  • Design for maintainability — Quick-change wear parts, individually bypassable stations and built-in adjustment allowance, cutting downtime.
  • Factory acceptance (FAT) — We prove the line on the customer's real parts before shipping, so problems are solved in our workshop.

Capability 04

Software & System Integration

Coordination between machines and the flow of data end up in software. We do not build islands of equipment.

  • PLC and motion control — Development and commissioning of machine logic, safety circuits and multi-axis motion programs.
  • HMI and recipe management — Parameters stored as recipes, so changing product needs no program edits; interfaces designed around how operators actually work.
  • Data acquisition and interfaces — RS232 / RS485 / Ethernet, with connectivity to MES, ERP and the customer's existing platforms.
  • Information system integration — Integrated hardware and software for storage, security and similar scenarios, connected to existing platforms.

Capability coverage

Every step from requirement to maintenance has someone inside the team who owns it.

Delivery Process

Six delivery steps, every one of them visible

The biggest risk in a custom project is building the wrong thing. We break the process into steps so you can accept, stop or adjust at each one.

01

Requirement study

We go on site, watch the process, measure cycle times and map out yield bottlenecks and expansion plans.

02

Concept design

A process concept and layout drawing, with cycle time, manning and return on investment made explicit.

03

Detailed design

Mechanical, electrical and vision design in parallel, with critical components selected and frozen.

04

Manufacturing and assembly

In-house machining and standard-part procurement run in parallel, with final assembly in our workshop.

05

In-house commissioning

We run the machine on the customer's real parts; once targets are met we invite them in for factory acceptance (FAT).

06

Delivery and support

On-site installation and commissioning (SAT), training, and long-term support with spare parts.

Want to know whether we can take on your job?

Describe the process, the cycle time and how you do it today. We will give an honest judgement and no promises we cannot back up.
