Custom Automation
 
Innovation is the norm at Research Automation. Our customers routinely come to us with problems that other designers couldn’t solve. Whether it’s doubling production capacity, automating a testing process or designing an effective solution to a complicated parts feeding system, we study your unique circumstance and build the solution.

Points to Consider:

  • Thirty years of experience with a wide variety of custom applications.
  • We’re flexible. If you have a design and it looks like the best solution, we’ll run with it.
  • Our design concepts often challenge accepted thinking, yet result in very practical and cost-effective solutions.
  • We work to balance new machine technologies with existing systems and processing capabilities.
  • All our machines are built to United States or European CE standards.

Some of the machines we have built:

  • Ultra High-Speed continuous motion assembly of nails and washers
