Are you ready to UPDATE your Robot?
Contact us to understand how we can help.
Consider a robot replacement to:
- Ensure access to spare parts
Parts for older generations are becoming harder to get, leading to longer downtime while parts are sourced. - Increase throughput
If you’ve recently made upgrades upstream, upgrading to a faster model can improve performance up and down the line. - Meet new product handling requirements
You’ll need a heavier capacity robot to handle new, heavy products. If you’re adding a line to handle two products, upgrade the old robot to match the capability and performance of the new one. - Improve performance and reduce downtime
New robot models allow for uninterrupted remote support, software updates, and programming improvements. Is your robot not handling product as well as it used to? Improve reliability with an upgraded model.

How will this upgrade impact our current operations?
We strive to minimize disruptions during the upgrade process by working with your team to find an ideal time for the current robot to be replaced. Whether it is on a weekend, holiday, or production down-season, our team will work with you to schedule an optimal time.
How long will the upgrade process take?
The duration of the installation depends on the complexity of the upgrade. Typical installations can range from a few days to a few weeks. Our service team will work closely with your facility personnel to arrange and schedule the appropriate time for the installation.
Are their credits available for robot replacements?
If you wish to trade-in your existing robot and control cabinet, we offer credit toward your robot replacement. During the installation, our installation tech will get the robot and cabinet ready to ship back with no interruption to your operations or the new robot’s installation.
