Robots & Cobots
If you are looking to increase your factory’s efficiency and output, Productivity Inc. is here to help. We provide top of the line automated production equipment — from leading brands like Fanuc Robotics, RoboFlex and RoboJOB — to help you maximize your production capabilities.
Manufacturing, assembly automation and unattended machining are the wave of the future. Instead of limiting production to work hours, extend the operation time of your business by running automation equipment over unattended nights and weekends. You will be able to take advantage of increased income revenue opportunities without overworking your in-house employees. With robot integration, your staff can devote time and energy to more specialized responsibilities.
In addition, automation productioin equipment is faster and more intelligent than ever — viable for small-batch or high-mix production. Some robots even utilize sensor technology, allowing them to operate safely alongside their human counterparts. By streamlining these operations, your factory can drive down costs while increasing productivity.

- (2) Haas SL-20C NC Turning Center
- Servo-driven Door Operators
- Part flip/re-grip station
- Quick change gripper coupler system
Solution:
This fully automated two machine turning cell cost about the same as a twin spindle, twin turret CNC turning center yet is fully automated. It needs just a few minutes per hour of operator attention to keep it fully loaded, and to maintain part quality, and machine tooling. This production cell is versatile. It can easily be changed over to run many different kinds of two operation turning jobs in the future. A quick change gripper allows end of arm tooling to be prepared in advance and changed over in a few seconds for another job.
