TM Robotics move into the Irish Electrical Industry

TM Robotics has signed a new distribution contract with Dublin-based Automation and Robotics Ireland (A&R). The fast cycle times delivered by TM's SCARA technology are ideally suited to A&R's existing customer base which lies heavily in the packaging sector.

Further benefits of TM's SCARA technology to this sector include conveyor synchronisation capacity, a feature which fulfils the needs of the food packaging industry, and a multi-tasking ability which facilitates smooth connectivity to vision systems.

Nigel Smith, managing director of TM Robotics, said: "Thanks to our agreement with A&R, we are ideally placed to become part of the very strong electrical industry that Ireland boasts. We were attracted to A&R because of its reputation for reliability and its understanding of innovation, both of which are vital in the industry."

A&R was launched in September at the Pakex Materials Handling show in Dublin, as a consequence of its parent company, Pak Automation Ltd, diversifying further into the automation industry. Pak was established in 1983 and placed a heavy emphasis on electronic control systems, which are at the heart of every modern, automated packaging system. The company offers a complete design, manufacture, installation and after-sales service of which all TM customers will now also be able to take full advantage.
