Automation
Forward Precision Equipment (FPE) has the distinction of designing and manufacturing special purpose machines specific to the exact needs of international clients throughout many industries since 1969. Each project is specially designed from concept to fit the client's specifications and developed with all the client's requirements in mind. First and foremost, FPE are welding design engineers. Allied to this specialist knowledge, most FPE machines encompass a high level of automation including loading, assembly, unloading, and robotics.
Within our main premises, we design, develop, manufacture, test, project manage, document, and program new machinery. In addition to this, we provide comprehensive service and back-up facilities and, where required, a service contract. Being able to offer a wide range of skills in house enables us to be flexible and responsive in delivering solutions. Design change and customer refinement frequently occur. With the disciplines all in house, regular project meetings keep the team on course and ensure that the client's desired goal is realised. As an O.E.M. the variety of machines that we manufacture covers a large selection of industries and technologies.

All Automation systems are designed, built and tested to FPE specifications. We have the flexibility to meet customer specific specifications during the design stage.
All automation systems are designed to fully integrate into the welding cell. We can offer control of automation through welder HMI or through a seperate control panel.
Suitable for our complete range of Friction Welders, Upsetters, resistance welders and Friction Stir Welders, automation can be utilized for:
Component Loading
Component Unloading
Component Orientation
