Custom Automation Machinery Engineering

Are you seeking custom-engineered automation services but lack the resources to get it done on spec and on time for your production line? RT Engineering specializes in the design and builds of high-throughput assembly equipment systems for a wide array of industries. Using synchronous, asynchronous pallet, and linear transfer systems, RT engineers automation equipment to precise motions and repeatable assembly that can be reconfigured to meet changing production demands.

RT industrial automation engineering features Cartesian and SCARA robots and servo-driven manipulators with optional end-of-line inspection testing or labeling.

How RT Engineering Partners with You

To start an industrial automation engineering project, RT will form a task force consisting of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, an operations coordinator, and a project management leader with extensive experience in industrial automation equipment & machinery. Collaborating with your team, engineers will design the automation equipment according to your throughput and quality requirements.

All designs are modeled in 3D software using SolidWorks to ensure the precision of your specifications. In addition, RT’s industrial automation services offer the development and programming of control systems to accompany mechanical systems. We understand process manufacturing and can address even the most challenging custom industrial control systems design requirements.

Key Advantages of Custom Automation Equipment

In its many forms, industrial automation can help to modernize production by utilizing devices and equipment that require minimal human interaction; it is an ideal method for companies that recurrently utilize repeatable operations and group technologies.

Some other benefits of automation machinery include but are not limited to:

Improve Efficiency: Streamline trouble areas that drain resources.

On-Demand Machine Shop: React quickly to demand by leveraging RT's 25,000 sq. ft. machine shop.
