Robots don't fail. Cables do.

Flexing and twisting over millions of cycles is a tough job.

To provide high reliability systems, Kinemetrix engineers invest energy and proven techniques to be kind to robot cables:

*Thoughtful cell layout and End of Arm Tool design
*Proper dressout hardware
*Highest quality components
*Minimizing power and signal connections
*Creative motion programming
*And for particularly demanding applications. We go wireless.

'can't fail, if it's not there.

// We work hard so you can spend your evenings at home, not in the plant. To get this kind of equipment on your floor, contact Kinemetrix for an introduction.

🚧 Behind the Tape: A Sneak Peek at Our Newly Expanded Assembly Space

There's nothing like that "new building" smell. It conjures a sense of opportunity, productivity, efficiency, capacity. We're grateful for the hard work from our operations team, and an army of skilled trades contractors, as we turn this space over to production.

In a few weeks, this space will be packed with a 40-robot automated assembly line for Electric Vehicle powertrain electronics.

Contact our Sales and Application Engineering team to get your assembly line project in the queue.

What robots do when nobody’s watching

Kinemetrix controls engineers blowing off a little steam as we pack and ship another robotic assembly system.

[Enjoy with audio on for the full experience]

Featured here are three Fanuc M710iC robots on a single Gudel servo RTU. Heavy-duty Schunk actuators provide the gripping power and precision for this demanding EV assembly application. Engineered robot dress-out is a Kinemetrix standard for high reliability under full range of motion.

Carefully interlocked overlapping work zones allowed maximum flexibility. This was key to allowing equipment design to proceed concurrent with an evolving product development. Agile Automation comes through again.

These robots are now on our customer’s factory floor, ready to get back to work.

Kinemetrix Announces Expansion: Doubling Capacity to Empower Regional Manufacturing

Press Release:

LEXINGTON, KY – Kinemetrix, a pioneer in automated robotic manufacturing solutions, today unveils its plan for expanding its facility, team, and manufacturing capacity.

Strategic Growth and Investment
With a vision for the future, Kinemetrix announces a $3.5 million investment in facility expansion and state-of-the-art automated machining and fabrication equipment. This is the final step in a strategic plan to double capacity in all areas of the business by Q4/2024.

A Statement from Our Founder
Jim Peyton, President of Kinemetrix, shares his insights: "Since our last major expansion, we've continued quietly building strong internal teams and deep customer relationships. It's now time to move to the next level of scale. We're growing along with our market-leading customers and building additional capacity to serve the accelerating manufacturing growth in our region.“

Catalyzing Regional Manufacturing
This expansion is more than an increase in size; it's about supporting the rapidly growing manufacturing ecosystem in the Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio region. Kinemetrix is well-positioned to support manufacturers in the southeast USA and along the I-75 corridor. Clients benefit from the proximity and expanded capabilities.

A Call to Action
Kinemetrix invites manufacturers with larger projects to make contact before looking outside the region or internationally. For technical professionals seeking a dynamic career path, Kinemetrix offers an opportunity to be part of an innovative team with a unique always-learning culture. To our existing team, this expansion is a recognition of your hard work and dedication.

About Kinemetrix
Since its inception in 1995, Kinemetrix has been a leader in robotic automation and advanced manufacturing solutions, committed to innovation and lean manufacturing principles.

ROBOTS ARE GOOD GUYS.

This most recent shipment from FANUC is part of an advanced 20-robot modular assembly system. The system assembles EV drivetrain components. Our customer ordered this second assembly line as a result of market success using their first Kinemetrix Agile Assembly system.

Each of these robots have a productive future ahead. Some will go forward to dispense highly accurate adhesive beads using our integrated servo-dispense technology. There will be assemblers. Many look forward to a career in screwdriving. A few will make tens of millions of micro-welds. Some will use our Agile3D™ robot guidance technology to perform “impossible” tasks.

All of them will serve their community and contribute to making Kentucky a hub for advanced manufacturing.

Robots are good guys.

Traceability is essential to understanding your manufacturing processes. Subtle patterns in process variation can only be detected over longer time scales. To be useful, process data must be captured completely, accurately, and automatically.

Kinemetrix has been implementing its AssemblyDNA™ traceability technology for nearly two decades. Way before “Industry 4.0” became the hot new thing.

Successful traceability programs are less about flavor-of-the-week technology. You don’t need “edge Ai-computing” to gather and analyze useful data. You do, however, need field-durable, serialized marking of component parts.

Part identification is where traceability starts. Selecting the right marking method for your parts ensures that parts and assemblies can be identified through the process, the supply chain, and even into the field.

This case study describes serialized laser marking of a forged crankshaft as it begins its journey through the manufacturing process. This part was challenging to mark because of its curved geometry and rough scaled surface.

You need the best tools to compete and win. Contact Kinemetrix to get you there.

Our clever elf has re-purposed an xBot planar servo system from the Kinemetrix Applications Lab. Planar servo unlocks many exciting capabilities. Just one of the many tools our application engineers bring to fit the best technology to your application.

Our Applications Lab is where we stress test new technology. Find it’s capabilities and limitations. The way to push the limits is by testing to extremes. Breaking stuff. Understanding boundaries leads our engineering team to more robust designs for your equipment.

You want your process to be elf-proof. Contact Kinemetrix.

The clever elf here is featured with a Fanuc CRX-10iaL collaborative robot equipped with our Agile3D™ robot guidance system. Just one of the many tools our application engineers bring to provide high performance, flexible automation.

Every factory has elves. They visit the evening shift. Sometimes helpful, sometimes mischievous.

Kinemetrix builds tight, automated, mistake-proof processes for our customers. ...Bad for mischievous elves. Great for your production.

You want your process to be elf-proof. Contact Kinemetrix.

Kinemetrix engineers thrive on creating high performance manufacturing tools that our customers love to use.

Built-in poka-yokes prevent mistakes. Robust control systems handle abnormal conditions gracefully. Rich on-screen diagnostics are there to highlight machine conditions. No more propping up a laptop on a stack of pallets to see what’s going on.

Automated robot recovery gets the system back in cycle quickly after unexpected stops.

When the equipment is a joy to use, your manufacturing team is more productive. Contact us to see how well-built automation pays for itself.

The reality of building custom automation equipment is that it often means shipping the prototype. Getting the design right the first time is essential to managing technical and schedule risks. In this post, we share how Kinemetrix uses virtual reality technology in our custom machine design process to create consistently high-performance factory automation systems. Please enjoy this video on the topic:

Key Benefits:
*Optimized workspace and maintenance access points. Our machine footprints are the smallest in the industry.
*Placement of user controls, load/unload points, and safety barriers minimize wasted motion.
*Lines of sight preserved so that the operator can see important machine functions from one location, at a glance.

And our customers practicing lean principles appreciate the designed-in visual control, quick changeovers, and minimal floorspace.

Kinemetrix adopted 3D solid modelling, at its inception in the 90’s, as a design power-tool. And VR is a natural extension of 3D modelling. Our engineers and customers immerse themselves physically in the machine design, at scale, leading to human-friendly automation equipment.
