Robotics
Brown & Holmes Automation can provide robotic solutions for a wide spectrum of industries, for performing tasks to improve production processes and safety while increasing productivity and efficiency. They can undertake repetitive activities that keep operators from being utilised for more effective tasks, carry out loading & unloading operations to provide safer working environments for your operators, offer repeatability that minimises errors and reduces scrap and costs.
Palletising/Depalletizing
Industrial and Collaborative robot options are available from Brown & Holmes Automation for use in Palletising and Depalletising processes. Our solutions can be provided as a stand-alone cell or as an automated solution utilising conveyors to move products. Not only do these solutions provide efficiency savings but offer an increase level of health and safety for operators due to the reduction in manual handling.
CNC Machine Tending
The manual loading and unloading of a machine tool by operators for several hours at a time can lead to errors through fatigue which increases inefficiencies and scrap and ultimately costs. Using a robot solution for CNC machine tending offers many benefits such as consistent repeatability of loading and unloading, better utilisation of operators and ultimately reduced costs.
Industrial robot options are available as are Cobot options – Subject to the operating conditions the Cobot option can allow greater flexibility for operators and robots to work together.
