Industrial Automation Integration

Automation engineered around your process.

From standalone robot cells to fully integrated production systems, CaPa Tec develops practical automation solutions designed around your machines, components, production requirements and people.

Concept & Feasibility Application review, process definition and automation concept.
Robot Integration Industrial robots integrated around the manufacturing process.
Controls & Software PLC, CNC, robot, sensing and machine communication.
Commissioning Installation, proving, optimisation and production support.

End-to-End Integration

More than simply supplying a robot.

Successful automation requires the robot, machine, tooling, controls and production process to work together. CaPa Tec brings these technologies together to deliver systems designed for real manufacturing environments.

01

Robot Integration

Industrial robot selection, application engineering, programming and integration for new systems and retrofit projects.

02

CNC Machine Tending

Automated loading and unloading of CNC machines including machine interfaces, door control, part handling and production sequencing.

03

End-of-Arm Tooling

Mechanical and vacuum gripping solutions, tool changers and bespoke EOAT designed around the component and process.

04

PLC & Controls

PLC programming, HMI development and communication between robots, CNC controls, peripheral equipment and production systems.

05

Vision & Sensing

2D and 3D vision, part identification, inspection, sensing and intelligent process feedback.

06

Safety & Compliance

Guarding, interlocks, safety devices and risk-reduction measures considered as an integral part of the system.

Project Delivery

From production challenge to working system.

Our approach starts with understanding what needs to be manufactured and why. The automation concept is then developed around the process rather than forcing the process around the robot.

01

Discover

Understand components, cycle times, equipment, volumes and project objectives.

02

Concept

Develop the automation architecture, equipment selection and operating concept.

03

Engineer

Mechanical, electrical, controls and software engineering brought together.

04

Commission

Install, test and optimise the system against the production requirement.

05

Support

Training, handover and ongoing engineering support where required.

Robotic CNC machine tending automation

CNC Automation

CNC machine tending is more than loading a component.

Reliable CNC automation requires coordination between the robot, machine tool, workholding, component handling and production logic. CaPa Tec can engineer the complete process rather than treating each element in isolation.

Applications

Automation across manufacturing.

Robot technology can be applied far beyond a single process. We assess where automation creates genuine production value and engineer the surrounding system accordingly.

CNC Machine Tending Automated machine loading and unloading.
Material Handling Reliable movement and presentation of components.
Palletising Automated stacking, handling and end-of-line systems.
Robotic Welding Repeatable automated welding applications.
Assembly Automated component assembly and process operations.
Inspection Vision and measurement integrated into production.
Machine Loading Integration with manufacturing and process equipment.
Bespoke Automation Systems engineered around specialist applications.

Practical Engineering

Designed around production, not a showroom demonstration.

Automation only creates value when it continues to operate reliably in production. Maintainability, operator access, changeovers, recovery procedures and future requirements therefore need to be considered from the beginning.

✓ Production and cycle-time requirements considered from concept stage.
✓ Machine, robot and peripheral equipment engineered as one system.
✓ Operator access, maintenance and recovery considered during design.
✓ Training and technical support available after commissioning.
