Technology
System integrity, not a list of brands.
Control, motion, robotics, vision, safety and mechanics directly affect one another in a machine. We choose technology with that interaction in mind.
Our solutions are compatible with industry-standard PLC, servo and robot platforms; the platform is chosen to suit the customer's standard and the process requirement.
T-01 · CONTROL
Control
The control architecture determines how a machine behaves and how it will be maintained. We build software that is modular, readable and documented.
Approach
- Modular software structure compatible with industry-standard PLC platforms
- Recipe management, alarm history and fault diagnostic screens
- Distributed I/O and industrial fieldbus communication
- Open interfaces to host systems (MES / data acquisition)
T-02 · MOTION
Motion
The right drive is chosen by calculating load, speed, precision and cycle profile together. Servo axes turn a mechanical adjustment into a software parameter.
Approach
- Motor and gearbox selection based on load and motion-profile calculations
- Servo axes with position, speed and torque control
- Synchronised axes and electronic cam applications
- Linear axis, ball screw and belt drive solutions
T-03 · ROBOTICS
Robotics
A robot cell succeeds less because of the robot itself than because of its gripper, fixture, reach and cycle design. We work with industry-standard robot platforms.
Approach
- Reach, collision and cycle-time simulation
- Product-specific gripper (EOAT) and fixture design
- Robot–PLC communication and cell management
- Risk assessment for collaborative applications
T-04 · VISION
Machine Vision
Machine vision tells robots where a part is and removes defective products from the line. A robust application depends as much on lighting and mechanical mounting as on the camera.
Approach
- Part localisation and robot guidance
- Presence / absence, orientation and assembly verification
- Code reading and traceability
- Lighting and field-of-view design
T-05 · SAFETY
Safety
Safety is not a fence added afterwards but a design input that starts with the risk assessment. Guards are positioned so that they never get in the operator's way.
Approach
- Risk assessment and definition of safety functions
- Circuit design with safety relays / safety PLCs
- Light curtains, area scanners and interlocked doors
- Safe speed and safe stop functions
T-06 · MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Mechanical Engineering
Precision starts with a rigid frame and correctly toleranced parts. We design mechanics with manufacturability and ease of maintenance built in.
Approach
- 3D design and manufacturing drawings
- Strength and stiffness checks
- Tolerance stack-up and assembly sequence analysis
- Selection of standard, readily available components
