Automated metal processing applications improve efficiency and precision. From weld spotting and riveting to punching and cutting, automation can improve quality and speed. Heavy or bulky metal parts need careful yet efficient handling, while small parts require precision. Automation systems can handle heavy and bulky parts, small parts, and every size in between. Not only does automating a process with robotics, vision, conveyance, and tooling reduce operator error and increase efficiency, but, in many cases, you can automate multiple operations in a single station. 

For example, JR Automation has integrated robotics and tooling to automate welding, cutting, and punching in a single cell, without the need for extensive operator setup or manual material handling. Other industrial metal fabrication automation can include:

• Marking
• Grinding
• Riveting
• Punching
• Forming
• Cutting

JR Automation has experience integrating custom material handling, laser welding, ultrasonic welding, and heat staking solutions for our customers. You can fabricate, join, or assemble their metal parts quickly and efficiently.

Automating metal processing tasks can improve your product and your bottom line. Our customers have improved precision by automating cutting, marking, and punching because robotics make fewer errors and have better repeatability than operators. These benefits enhance the quality of the part and product, reducing scrap and re-work. Each of the following benefits leads to saving money and time:

• Higher precision
• Improved repeatability and consistency
• Improved worker safety
• Improved part quality
