In 1980, Systems Unlimited was given an opportunity by Rockwell International to
assist one of their manufacturing plants in the integration of an industrial robot in a
machine loading and unloading production cell. From that point on, we have been in the
robotic integration business. Starting in 1984, we teamed with Cincinnati Milicron and
Clark Equipment to launch their new material handling robots. Over the last 15 years, we
have designed and built robot tooling for Cincinnati Milicron, ABB, C&D Robotics,
Adept, Motoman, Kawasaki and Fanuc.
At the same time, Systems Unlimited has installed over 60 robot systems in the
following industry applications: product palletizing, bag palletizing, slip sheet
placement, machine loading and unloading, pallet dispensing and collecting, as well as
furnace and heat-treat loading and unloading. In addition, we have designed and built
ancillary equipment used in the orientation of products for robot pick-up and special
devices to ensure proper location for repeatable robot tending. We have automated existing
equipment for robot interfacing and built special equipment to add to the process in a
robot work cell.
