Robotic Automation Services

Meet flexible automation requirements with PAI robotics. Our robotic automation systems encompass all forms of robotics including pick & place, Cartesian, SCARA, and 4 and 6 axis robots.

PAI is an authorized system partner for KUKA, the number one PC-controlled industrial robot manufacturer in the world. PAI are official robot integrators of 4 and 6 Axis KUKA Robots, which vary in capacity from 3 kg to 500 kg loads. KUKA robots are ideal for automating applications such as palletizing, machine tending, material handling, packaging, cutting, material removal, and welding..

KUKA Robotics is the North American subsidiary of KUKA Roboter GmbH, based in Augsberg, Germany. KUKA Robotics is headquartered in Sterling Heights, Michigan. This US location offers service, communication, and parts inventory, for immediate assistance to US customers.

PAI is an authorized system partner for KUKA Robotics. KUKA robots are ahead of their time. With a superior work envelope and their characteristic jointed-arm kinematics, they make possible innovative and flexible system concepts that cannot be realized using conventional parallelogram robots. The KUKA robots can actually reach more than 360 degrees around the base and can even work overhead or reach over backwards!

KUKA robots are also highly modular in construction. This permits KUKA robotics to manufacture all the parts much more cost-effectively. This allows KUKA robotics to be competitively priced due to the interchangeability of many key components.

KUKA robots are the prefect solution for robotic welding, robotic material handling, and robotic machine tending. KUKA robots can be installed as conventional floor-mounted units or as wall-mounted units, linear units on tracks or even gantry-mounted inverted units. Flexibility and creative mounting add up to benefits for the end-user.

KUKA load ranges vary from the smallest at 6 kg up to a massive 500 kg for the largest! And, these units can handle those loads at FULL SPEED, ANYWHERE in the operating envelope.

KUKA long-range robots can reach up to 137 inches. These long-reach models are typically used for heavy loads in packaging, palletizing and material handling tasks.

KUKA robots also add to the flexibility of an assembly line. For example, if a change is made to the parts being welded or handled, the robot can be easily and quickly reprogrammed to accommodate these changes. This flexibility effectively reduces the over all cost of an assembly line change through time savings.

KUKA robots are installed in an impressive list of automotive manufacturers, including: BMW/Rover, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, Ford/Volvo, GM/Opel/Saab, PCA (Peugeot, Citroen), Porsche, Renault, Saturn and the Volkswagen Group (Audi, Seat, Skoda, VW).

If you have an interest in KUKA robots, please do not hesitate to contact us. PAI is an official KUKA robot integrator. As a KUKA Robotics System Partner, Parrish Associates offers sales, installation and service for all your robot integration needs.

Robot Integrators

Solve smaller automation requirements with Cartesian Robots, an inexpensive robotic alternative for certain applications. Cartesian robot solutions are available from a number of manufacturers.

Some applications are best served by SCARA Robots. These robots have limited range of movement, but offer high-speed and high-accuracy for small work spaces. PAI offer solutions from a number of SCARA robot manufacturers.
