Listed below are some examples of the applications Robust Machine Design has implemented, often several of these examples are incorporated into a single machine, featuring several stations fed by a common transfer system such as a pallet conveyor line, rotary indexing table or walking beam.

• Pick and place mechanisms
• special purpose grippers
• automated screwdrivers
  
• riveting fixtures
• crimping mechanisms
• Mig and spot welding fixtures
• label printing and applicating machines
• blow feeding mechanism
• bowl, inline vibratory and magazine feeders
• custom air over oil presses
• functional testers of newly assembled products
• electrical and circuit board testers
• custom conveyors

We routinely complete designs for systems with hundreds of I/O, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but we can also economically solve problems with simple hand operated jigs if this fulfills the requirements of the customer.

Retrofitting existing production equipment is a growing part of our business. We have the capabilities to evaluate the machinery in question, determine the feasibility of a retrofit, develop a plan that includes full drawing packages and bills of materials and finally carry out the plan. Depending on the size of the project, we usually work in tandem with other machine shops and controls specialists.

Robust Machine Design also offers general engineering and machining services to local businesses on an ongoing basis. Our customers have found this to be a timely and cost effective way of addressing prototype and production issues.
