Engineering Services

The Application Engineers at Southwestern PTS consult, conceptualize, build, and integrate solutions based on the process and application.  Our Proof of Concept (POC) service saves time and capital when deciding if automation is the right solution.  Rapid prototyping available utilizing our 3D printers, table top CNC router, and table top water jet.

Proof of Concept and Cobots

Want to go lights out manufacturing but not quite ready to invest? Employing a cobot saves time, money, and substantially improves throughput in practically any environment. POC ideas include: sanding, pick and place, screw or bolt driving, machine tending, deburring, and polishing.

General Proof Of Concept Offerings

Wondering if automation is right for your process?  Let our team of engineers assist by proving out the idea for a small investment.  POC ideas include: moving material, machine tending, flexible conveyor, part fixtures and pucks, cycle time measurement, and ROI measurement based on metrics set forth.
