Automotive

Over the last 20 years, we supplied various Robotic Manufacturing Cells to many of the leading car manufacturers in the UK. With our ability to program most robot manufacturers’ systems, we can reprogram existing robots to carry out new functions by changing the manipulators and upgrading the program. With our extensive range of motor drives, inverters and soft start devices, we can find a suitable solution to our clients’ manufacturing technical problems.

TS247 has deployed robotic manufacturing cells for welding operations, fitting window screens and paint shops. Our equipment can be found in factories like Ford, Nissan, Honda, Vauxhall, Land Rover, Jaguar and Toyota throughout the UK. We have also designed turnkey projects in the automotive supply chain, such as Guilford Europe, which manufactures interior roofs for many manufacturers. Their systems must be as automated as possible and versatile enough to change shape for different models. We design, manufacture, install and commission with our in-house engineering team using mechanical and electrical engineers and PLC programming of Allen‑Bradley, for whom we are a partner.

A similar project was undertaken for Ritter, a company that makes car carpets. The system required many of the same features as the Guilford Europe project: the ability to adjust the carpet profile to accommodate future design changes. TS247 can also offer visual component recognition systems using the latest CCD cameras and Artificial Intelligence software.
