Automated Production Cells

Forming machines, robots, and material handling are engineered as one cell, so parts move from blank to finished shape at a rate with fewer hands on the part.

Defense programs need more than a good part. They need the same part thousands of times, on every shift.

ADS automated production cells combine precision forming machines with robotic handling, conveyors, controls and guarding. Each cell is engineered and commissioned as a single system.

Every cell is built around your part, your volume and your floor space. You can add one to a standalone machine as a modular upgrade or get it as part of a complete turnkey production line.

  • Why Automate

    01 — Increase Quality & Productivity

    Consistent, repeatable cycles at industrial scale mean higher throughput with less variation between parts.

    02 — Eliminate Operator Injuries

    Robots take over repetitive, high-load and hazardous tasks, which improves safety across the production floor.

    03 — Reduce Floor Space

    Compact robotic cells replace larger manual workstations and free up valuable production floor space.

  • Automation Options

    Each cell is configured to meet your program's budget, speed, load and precision requirements.

    • Machine tending

    • Machine loading and unloading

    • Material handling

    • Pick and place

    • Palletizing and robotic packing

    • Assembly

    • Inspection

    • Heating

    • Custom end-of-arm tooling

Systems on this platform

  • HSTR 250

    HSTR 250 — Integrated Manufacturing Line · WF

    A fully integrated and automated manufacturing cell that combines multiple forming technologies in a single production system and is delivered as a turnkey solution. Its modular design supports both dedicated production lines and flexible manufacturing systems.

    SPT-5.50 Work Cell — Robotic Load / Unload

    An MJC tube spinning machine is delivered as a complete automated cell. A pedestal-mounted six-axis robot loads and unloads the machine between integrated in-feed and out-feed conveyors, and its dual-station end-of-arm tool removes the finished part and loads the next blank in one motion.

Robot Platforms

Cells are built by an officially recognized, preferred integrator and can use the robot brand that your plant has already standardized on.
