Special Purpose Machinery (SPM) solves problems that standard equipment cannot. Design & Build for Special Purpose Machinery (SPM) equips your engineering teams to turn that requirement into a custom automation cell, assembly station, robotic workcell, or complete production line, engineered specifically for your process, not adapted from someone else’s.
Design & Build for SPM brings together machine architecture, fixture tooling, mechatronic systems and robotic cells, the elements that turn a requirement into a buildable machine. Machine architecture defines the technical concept: station sequences, motion philosophy, tooling strategy and safety envelope. Fixture tooling, mechatronic systems and robotic cells translate that concept into a machine that is operable, serviceable and installable by design.
The result: a machine built right for your process from day one, that commissions reliably and stays serviceable across its lifecycle.
Design robot cells for safe, flexible automation
Robotic Cell Design creates custom automation cells using industrial robots, cobots, gantries, AMRs/AGVs, feeders, conveyors, vision systems, EOAT and safety devices. We size robots, define reach and tooling envelopes, and design cell layouts so that handling, inspection, welding, dispensing, or assembly work can be performed reliably and repeatably within the required footprint and cycle time.
With safety and integration as core principles, we specify guarding, access, sensor logic, and machine‑to‑robot handshakes, and validate cell behaviour through simulation and control sequencing. Our approach delivers cells that are safe to operate, simple to maintain and ready for certification against applicable standards such as ISO 10218 and ISO 3691‑4.
Choose robots by payload, reach, speed, repeatability and mounting needs.
Define reach, tooling and maintenance envelopes and cell geometry.
Design EOAT, grippers, tool changers, compliance devices and utility routing.
Integrate machine vision, barcode scanning, force sensing and inspection tools.
Plan guards, doors, scanners, light curtains and enabling devices for safe access.
Specify PLC, safety PLC, HMI, conveyor and fixture handshakes.
Plan interfaces and safety for mobile robots and driverless trucks.
