URC Automation Brief

URC Automation makes 6 - 9 axis robot router machining systems that do secondary operations such as material removal, deflashing, deburring and drilling on plastic and composite parts.

Blow mold and injection mold processors purchase URC equipment for these trimming operations.  End-users of the molded parts include Polaris, Arctic Cat, Satellite, Skyline, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Coleman and Peterbilt.

Our 6 axis robot router machining systems allow our customers to cut and drill virtually any shape at any angle!

URC Automation builds Robot CNC Loading cells for loading and unloading parts in machining centers.

We've designed and built robotic systems to handle large glass sheets, transmission components, engine cylinder liners, brass blanks, valve castings and screwdrivers.

Some of the end users of these components include Mueller Company, Federal Mogul, Rigid and Craftsman.

Custom machines, robot tooling and robot fixtures are another specialty.  We have designed and built automated machines for measuring taconite concentrate, unrolling paper to a precision length and bending metal at precise angles. 

Robot grippers with compliance and distance sensing, and multiple gripper head assemblies are just a few of the grippers that we have designed.

This is our 19th year in business and 11th year on the web!

Robot Routers - Machining and Drilling

URC Automation builds 6 - 9 axis CNC robot router machining systems for plastic and composite material removal.  We have a mobile platform system, several fixed station router machining systems and a 7-9 Axis router machining system for large parts or multiple stations for the secondary operations of cutting, drilling, deflashing, countersinking and trimming.  Shape Generation software is an option for easy programming of circles, slots, rectangles and other shapes.  The Off-line programming option allows for programming on a PC and then downloading the finished program to the robot.

URC Automation designs and builds the robot tooling, electrical controls and software on all of our robot machining systems.  We are a one-stop shop.  When we are done,  you have a turn-key system ready to run your part!   We can also design in SolidWorks and build fixtures for your parts.

Several configurations of two and three station router machining cells are available for your manufacturing needs!  Prices from $129K - $149K.  Call for details or tell us what you need.

Off-line programming for URC 6 - 9 Axis Robot Router Machining systems in FANUC HandlingPRO or is available depending on the robot option.  The URC 7-Axis Machining System programming was done in HandlingPRO.

Robot Machine Loading

URC Automation designs and builds Robotic CNC Machine loading systems.   Single or multi-process machining.  Let us turn-key the entire system from concept to implementation and then watch your productivity soar!

Custom Robotic Systems

Need something that's not off the shelf?  URC Automation can design custom router or robotic systems for your process.  Some robotic systems that we've done include moisture measurement, metal forming at high temperatures, vehicle wash-down, 'measured-shot' ladling, wire-basket stacker / palletizer, foam dispensing, and MIG/TIG robotic welding.

Why URC Automation for Robot Automation?

• Your profit is our goal!  Our robot cells increase productivity over manual operations by 25% or more (several projects got a 400% increase), with an increase in part quality due to the repeatability of the robot system.  Return on investment (ROI) ranges from 12  to 18 months.  Let us help you to be more profitable with your process.

• Great Service!  We absolutely believe that we need to make you 100% satisfied with what you have purchased from us.  We want your business and we want your repeat business.

• We design and build our robot cells with proven, off the shelf technology.  No proprietary, hard to get replacement parts.  No proprietary integrator software that you can't change and is clumsy to use.  As a result, our robot cells run ON DEMAND, with minimal downtime.  The result - quality, no-nonsense systems that run the way you expect them to!

• Our knowledge of optimizing robot work-cells. We fine tune the system to get the lowest cycle time possible which translates to more parts and profit for you.  Our robot systems are generally waiting on output from the machines that provide the parts to our cells. 

• Experience.  We've cut many different complex plastic parts with our robot router machining systems - parts for recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles and jet skis, sanitary products, gas tanks, air ducting and storage containers.   For robot loading cells, we have designed and built systems that handle castings, brass blanks, injection mold racks and glass.
