Traditional robots need a programmer for every new job. Ours doesn’t. Your operator shows it what to do, we train it, and it runs. No integrator, no PO every time your parts change.
Average machinist is in their mid-50s. Nobody’s coming up behind them. You’ve got the machines, you’ve got the orders, you just don’t have the hands.
Your best guy is loading gages and sorting parts off the Citizen all day. That’s not what you hired him for. But somebody has to do it.
$75K and up for a custom cell. Weeks of downtime for install. Then your part family changes and the integrator wants another PO to reprogram it. That’s how robotics has worked for 30 years. It doesn’t have to work that way.
You run 30 different parts. Setups change constantly. A robot that can only do one thing doesn’t make sense on your floor.
With a FANUC or UR, you call an integrator every time something changes. With us, your guy demonstrates the task and we handle the rest.
We walk your floor, look at your cell, see the actual parts you’re running. No slideshow, just a real conversation.
Pick up a part, put it in the gage, sort it into the bin. Your operator runs through it a few dozen times over a couple hours. We take it from there.
Not a sales demo with cherry-picked parts. Your actual work, on your actual floor, for a full month.
If it works, you go on a monthly plan. If it doesn’t, we pick it up. New part family down the road? Same deal. Show it again.
Traditional robots are rigid. One program, one part, one setup. Change any of those and you’re writing another check. We built something that adapts to your floor.
No teach pendant. No G-code for the robot. Your guy demonstrates the task, we train the model, and it’s running.
Gage tending and part sorting. We’re not trying to do palletizing and food packaging and everything else. Machine shops are all we do.
Burrs, missing features, surface issues. The robot screens parts as it handles them, so problems don’t pile up at the end of the line.
We’re based in the Chicago northwest suburbs. If something needs attention, we drive over. You’re not calling a 1-800 number in another time zone.
The more parts it runs, the better it gets at handling variations. Fewer drops, fewer misfeeds. You don’t have to do anything for that to happen.
30 days on your parts, your floor. If it’s not pulling its weight, we come get it. No hard feelings.

We’ll come look at your floor, see what you’re running, and tell you straight whether we can help. No pitch deck, no pressure.
“Every shop owner we talk to has the same story. They priced out a FANUC, got the integrator quote, and said forget it.” — Joey, Founder
