Automation, Engineering & Robotics
Automation packages, controls engineering and robot integration for presses and converting lines. We design in CAD, build with a 5S lean process, audit PLC code and HMI controls, then install and train your team.
Automation & engineering services
Automation packages
Automation levels for our presses include manual push-table, single or dual automatic shuttle tables, pinch-roller feed and conveyor feed, plus feed systems, roll stands and rewinders.

Controls engineering
TO CONFIRM: Confirm 'UL 508A certification' optionHMI touchscreen and PLC customization. We audit and refine PLC code and update HMI controls during quality control, and offer upgrades that bring older machines to modern electrical standards.
Robotic cells
TO CONFIRM: Confirm capability and any reference projectsRobotic cells built around your press or converting line, from concept design and CAD layout through installation and training.
Press tending
TO CONFIRM: ConfirmRobots that load, unload and handle parts at the press so operators stay out of the point of operation.
End-of-arm tooling
TO CONFIRM: Confirm in-house design vs partnerCustom end-of-arm tooling for gripping, picking and placing your parts.
FANUC robot integration
TO CONFIRM: Confirm wording; no authorized-integrator claim is madeFANUC robot integration for press tending, palletizing and robotic cells.
Pick & place systems
Pick-and-place and ejection systems that automate stacking and packaging, reduce manual labor and minimize errors.
See pick & place →Installation & training
We install the machine, train your team and provide user manuals, backed by warranty and after-sales parts and service.
Service & support →Typical projects
- Pinch roller, conveyor and auto-shuttle feeding for presses
- Press tending: load, unload and part handling
- Pick-and-place and stacking after forming
- HMI and PLC upgrades on existing machines
- Safety and electrical upgrades to modern standards
- UL 508A control panels
Common questions
Do you work on machines you didn't build?
Yes. We offer upgrades to existing systems to improve safety, meet modern electrical standards and improve performance.
What is the typical lead time?
Lead times depend on the project. Typically 2–4 weeks for in-stock machinery, 90–120 days for simple builds, and 4–6 months for complex projects that need a full scope of work with CAD drawings for your approval. We confirm a specific timeline once we understand your needs.
Do you provide installation and training?
Yes. Delivery and installation include hands-on training, operating manuals and access to our support team for follow-up questions.

FANUC is a trademark of FANUC Corporation.
Robotics capabilities are listed as Joseph specified them (robotic cells, press tending, end-of-arm tooling, FANUC integration for press tending, palletizing and cells). Please confirm each, plus any completed robot projects we can name. No partner/authorized-integrator claim and no FANUC logo are used.
'UL 508A' appears on the series pages as an option; confirm Hammerhead builds UL 508A panels in-house or through a partner.
