Robots and lines (Robot Automation)
Carton Box Palletizing Robot
- Industry: Food & packaging
- Challenge: Lifting cartons onto pallets at the end of the line is heavy, repetitive and hard to staff.
- What NKE built: An automatic carton palletizing robot whose stacking pattern can be changed with the product. Read more →
Press Handling Robot
- Industry: Automotive parts
- Challenge: Loading and unloading presses is repetitive and risky work for people.
- What NKE built: Robots that load and unload press machines, including tandem press lines that move parts through multi-stage presses.
Automated Assembly Line
- Industry: Automotive, appliances & compressors
- Challenge: A great deal of repeated assembly and testing every day.
- What NKE built: Assembly lines with robots, together with press-fit, screw-tightening, marking and leak-test machines.
General Handling Robot
- Industry: Appliances & components
- Challenge: Parts and sub-assemblies have to move between stations quickly and accurately.
- What NKE built: A robot pick-and-place cell, and high-speed pick & place systems.
Aluminum Pouring Robot
- Industry: Automotive casting
- Challenge: People working close to molten metal.
- What NKE built: A robot that ladles molten aluminium instead of a person, keeping people away from the heat.
CNC machines
CNC Machine Tending
- Industry: Automotive & compressor parts
- Challenge: Machines wait for an operator to load parts, especially during breaks and night shifts.
- What NKE built: Robots that load and unload CNC machines so they keep running all shift. Read more →
Turnkey CNC Machine
- Industry: Metal parts
- Challenge: A machine that actually makes the part from the day of delivery – not just a machine.
- What NKE built: A production-ready turnkey machine: machine selection, jig & fixture design and programming through to quality acceptance. Read more →
Machining Cell Customization
- Industry: Metal parts
- Challenge: A turning / milling cell has to fit the plant’s own part and process.
- What NKE built: A turning / milling cell customised to the job; NKE’s CNC work covers adding index axes, poka-yoke and safety systems.
Factory data (IoT)
Remote Auto-offset Software
- Industry: High-precision parts
- Challenge: Operators calculated and typed offsets at the machine, which is slow and error-prone.
- What NKE built: Software to adjust CNC offsets remotely. See NKE’s Auto Offset system at Auto Offset for FANUC CNC →

FAQ
Can we see detailed project results?
Yes. Our team shares more detail when we talk directly, within our agreement with each customer.
Can NKE do this for our plant?
Send the part drawing, volume, target cycle time and the problem you face. Our engineers study feasibility and run a 3D simulation before proposing a solution.
Do we have to automate the whole line at once?
No. Start with one robot or machine where the payback is best, then grow into a line.
