Industrial robot integration

We design, program and commission robotic cells with ABB, KUKA and FANUC robots: machine loading and unloading, press-to-press handling, stacking, racking, palletising and inspection.

What robot integration means

A robot leaves the factory without knowing how to do anything. Integrating it is everything needed to make it produce in your plant: choosing the model by payload and reach, designing the tooling, guarding and cabinet, programming it, connecting it to the machine and the safety system, and commissioning it at production rate.

01 · What it includes

Each item can be contracted separately or as part of a turnkey project.

I.01

Machine loading and unloading

Presses, process machines and conveyors, synchronised with the machine signal.

I.02

Press-to-press handling

Press-to-press robots, including on a linear axis, with vacuum grippers.

I.03

Stacking and racking

Parts into containers or racks at the end of the line, with one or two robots depending on the cycle time.

I.04

Palletising

Pallet building and pallet change without stopping the line.

I.05

Vision inspection

The robot presents the part to a camera or a 3D profiler.

I.06

Bin picking

Picking loose parts from bins with 3D vision.

02 · How we work

Everything that can be tested before the shutdown is tested before.

  1. 01

    Visit and initial data

    We look at the machine or the line, measure the cycle and ask you for the part or its CAD, the layout and photos.

    DELIVERABLE · Initial data
  2. 02

    Layout and simulation

    The cell in 3D with the real robot: reach, interference and simulated cycle. The first proposal is free of charge.

    DELIVERABLE · Proposal with layout and cycle time
  3. 03

    Manufacturing and programming

    The mechanical parts are manufactured and we program the robot, PLC, vision and HMI.

    DELIVERABLE · Programs and documentation
  4. 04

    FAT in our workshop

    We build the complete cell in Ortuella and test it, with you present if you wish.

    DELIVERABLE · FAT report
  5. 05

    Commissioning

    Installation at your plant, tuning to production rate and training for production and maintenance staff.

    DELIVERABLE · Acceptance certificate
  6. 06

    Support

    Remote and on-site support for as long as the line runs. Software is handed over open, except proprietary software.

    DELIVERABLE · Program backups
03 · To give you a price

What we need from you.

  • The part or product, with weight and dimensions, or its CAD.
  • The cycle time you need.
  • The layout of the area and photos of the machine.
  • The robot or PLC brand, if the plant has a standard.

The first proposal, with the cell placed in your plant, is free of charge.

If your plant has a different robot, PLC or vision standard, we work within it.

Questions

About robot integration.

How much does robot integration cost?

It depends on the part, the cycle time and everything around the robot: tooling, guarding, electrical cabinet, vision and engineering. The robot is usually less than half of the total. Send us the layout and the part and we will give you a figure for your case, and the first proposal is free of charge.

Do you work with the robots we already have?

Yes. We program ABB, KUKA and FANUC. If your plant has a robot or PLC standard, we work within it.

Do you test the cell before installing it?

Yes. We build and test it in our workshop in Ortuella before shipping it. You are welcome to come and see it running.

Other services

Have you got a planned shutdown coming up?

The sooner we know about it, the more work we can do before we reach your plant. An engineer will reply.
