Dual robot resistance welding cell with material handling bins
ROBOT PROGRAMMING

Robot Programming

FANUC, ABB, KUKA, and Universal Robots integration for material handling, welding, fastening, and bin picking — programmed and validated in simulation before we ever touch the real robot.

WHAT WE PROGRAM

Robot Programming Across the Application

Material Handling

Pick, place, and transfer between processes — synchronized with upstream and downstream equipment.

Resistance Welding

Multi-gun resistance welding cells, including weld schedule setup and cycle time tuning.

MIG Welding

Seam tracking, weld path development, and torch angle optimization for consistent welds.

Fastener Applications

Screw driving, riveting, and clinching cycles integrated with part presence verification.

Bin Picking

Vision-guided picking from unstructured bins, including pose estimation and collision-free path planning.

End-of-Arm Tooling

EOAT design coordination and integration — grippers, weld guns, and multi-tool changers.

SIMULATION-FIRST PROGRAMMING

Validated in Simulation, Before It Costs You Floor Time

Reach, cycle time, and collision checks happen in simulation first — not during commissioning. We model the cell, run the program through its full cycle, and catch interference, timing conflicts, and unreachable points before the robot is ever powered on for real. That means less floor time spent debugging, and fewer surprises when the cell goes live.

CELL DESIGN & INTEGRATION

A Robot Program Doesn't Run on Its Own

Multi-Robot Cell Coordination

Synchronized motion and signal handshaking between robots sharing a cell, so paths and cycle times don't collide.

Safety Zoning

Light curtains, area scanners, and interlocked zones planned around real robot reach — not assumed clearance.

PLC & HMI Integration

Robot I/O, fault handling, and status reporting wired into the cell's PLC and HMI, not left as a black box.

Tooling & EOAT Integration

Robot programs developed alongside the tooling and EOAT drawings, so the program matches what's actually built.

FAQ

Common Questions

Which robot brands do you program?

FANUC, ABB, KUKA, and Universal Robots. If your cell runs a different platform, ask — most industrial robot languages translate well once we've worked in one.

Do you simulate the program before touching the real robot?

Wherever possible. Simulating reach, cycle time, and collisions ahead of time means less time spent debugging on the floor and fewer surprises at commissioning.

Can you program a cell with multiple robots working together?

Yes — synchronized multi-robot welding and material handling cells are some of our most common work. Signal handshaking and motion coordination are planned in, not bolted on after.

Do you handle the end-of-arm tooling too?

We coordinate EOAT integration and can produce the tooling drawings alongside the robot program, so what's programmed matches what's actually built.
