Robotic automation for agricultural equipment manufacturing
Agricultural equipment means large weldments, heavy parts and many model variations. ARS brings simulation, in-house builds and programming across eight robot platforms.
- Cut
- Weld
- Machine
- Coat
- Assemble
01Demands
What agriculture asks of a line
Large weldments
Frames, booms and chassis are long, heavy welded assemblies with many joints.
Seasonal build peaks
Build volumes rise ahead of planting and harvest, then fall away again.
High model and option mix
Many models and options run down one line, often in small batches.
Heavy, awkward parts
Parts are big, heavy and irregular, which makes manual handling slow and hard on people.

Where automation fits
03ARS
What ARS brings
Simulation for reach and payload
Load analysis determines machine capacity, and fully dynamic simulation covers multiple robot models before hardware is committed.
In-house build
ARS has the facilities to complete a project in house, resulting in a turn-key automation build.
8 platforms
ARS programs FANUC, ABB, KUKA, MOTOMAN, KAWASAKI, Hyundai, UR and NACHI robots, from a single robot to a full turnkey system.
Preventative maintenance
Preventative maintenance is one of the seven ARS service areas, planned so problems are found before they stop a line.
Services

04Questions
Common questions
Can reach and payload be checked before build?
Yes. Load analysis determines machine capacity, and fully dynamic simulation for multiple robot models shows robot motion before hardware is committed.
Which robots does ARS program?
ARS programs FANUC, ABB, KUKA, MOTOMAN, KAWASAKI, Hyundai, UR and NACHI robots.
Which services apply here?
Robot Programming, Integration Support, Preventative Maintenance and Production Support apply to agricultural equipment lines.
