Robot and vision partnership to deliver turnkey solutions

TM Robotics (Europe) Ltd, the European robot sales partner of Toshiba Machine, has announced a new machine vision partnership agreement with UK firm PCS Industries.

Robot and vision partnership to deliver turnkey solutions

The arrangement offers customers an array of vision equipment and software products as well as the integration skills of PCS.

PCS Industries is an accredited Cognex partner. "The last few years have shown us that our customers want a single point of contact and complete turnkey solutions," explained Peter Jelf, technical director of PCS Industries. "As a result, we've moved away from the re-seller approach and back to the company's roots as a complete solutions provider. The relationship with TM Robotics allows ours customers access to the company's range of SCARA and Cartesian robots, which is a major step forward."

"I have long felt that it's better to be able to offer a complete package containing a separate vision system and robot, as opposed to a robot with an integrated camera," explained Nigel Smith, managing director of TM Robotics. "It gives the end user the best of all worlds - a robot designed and built by experts, software written by experts and a camera developed by experts. It also gives the integrator the chance to choose the right products for the job."
