Case studies

Blaze™ Laser Welding

AAI manufactures stainless steel parts for the foodservice industry, where weld quality and appearance are everything. By adding the Blaze™ laser welding cobot, AAI achieved cleaner, more consistent welds with less heat distortion and reduced polishing time. The result — faster throughput, flawless finishes, and simplified training for their team.

Blaze™ MIG Welding

Railex customers depend on precision and reliability, but large production runs were pushing the limits of what was sustainable. Welders often had to run jobs of 1,000 pieces or more, which created physical strain and led to inconsistent throughput. Blaze™ has been the perfect solution.​

Machine Tending

Cal-Draulics, a top tier aerospace supplier to the biggest aerospace companies utilizes 2 OB7 collaborative robots to automate their Okuma CNC machines. With OB7 and Robeka, Cal-Draulics was able to achieve lights out manufacturing.

Machine Tending

ABA Corp, a job shop serving automotive, aerospace, communications and electronics, medical devices, military and retail markets, implements six robots to automate CNC machine tending.

Laser Engraving / Inspection

Lenkbar LLC, an orthopedic device specialist that manufactures precision medical devices to 0.0001 tolerances, incorpoates an OB7 collaborative robot to laser engrave and test products.

Quality Control / Thread Inspection

Robotic thread inspection is not new, but robotic thread inspection in a job shop environment is ambitious. Treske’s goal is to automate one of the most time-consuming tasks in quality control by integrating a collaborative robot with a dedicated thread-gaging head.

CNC Machine Tending

A high mix/low volume custom engineering shop, LJB Product Solutions implements OB7 to take on higher volume work by running their cnc machine nonstop, increasing productivity and efficiency while freeing up staff to work on other tasks

CNC Machine Tending

B.I.C. Precision installs OB7 in a turning cell to load and unload parts from two lathes, reducing operator fatigue, reducing scraps by almost half, and increasing productivity by 20%.

Gluing, Assembly, Quality Control, Inspection, Packaging, & Material Handling

Action Plastics maximizes the benefit of OB7’s flexibility and 7 axis maneuverability, automating several different processes for their high mix/low to mid volume production, while also freeing up operators to focus on other tasks.

Electrical Testing

Xymox Technologies implements OB7 to collaboratively test their products, allowing assembly technician to easily use automation to help relieve physical fatigue of the testing process.

CNC Machine Tending

Swiss Productions implements 2 OB7s to tend 2 HAAS milling machines, gaining an extra 32 hours per week of machine running time on top of normal 40 hours, maximizing spindle utilization and increasing employee productivity.

CNC Machine Tending

True Precision Machining implements OB7 on wire EDM machine, doubling machine output and meeting deadlines early for their high-technology customers in the medical, aerospace and communications industries.
