Robotic Solutions
Machine Tending
Automate the loading and unloading of CNC machines, production equipment, and other manufacturing processes. Robotic machine tending can help increase machine utilization, improve consistency, and reduce repetitive manual tasks.
Material Handling
Automate the movement of parts, materials, containers, and finished products throughout your production process. Applications can include pick-and-place, sorting, transferring, loading, unloading, and positioning.
Palletizing & Depalletizing
Robotic palletizing systems provide a flexible solution for repetitive product handling. Systems can be designed around your product sizes, production rates, pallet configurations, and facility requirements.
Welding & Assembly
Integrate robotic systems for repetitive welding, assembly, fastening, dispensing, and production operations where consistency and repeatability are critical.
Vision & Inspection
Combine robotics with machine vision and automated inspection to identify components, verify product placement, inspect finished parts, and support quality-control processes.
Custom End-of-Arm Tooling
NKC can develop application-specific end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) including grippers and other tooling required to interact with your products, equipment, and manufacturing processes.
System Integration
Robots can be integrated with PLCs, HMIs, machine vision, sensors, safety systems, conveyors, CNC equipment, and existing production machinery to create a complete automated solution.

24/7 Automation Potential
Every application is different. Our team evaluates your production requirements to determine where robotics and automation can provide the greatest value.
Our Robotic Integration Process
1. Discovery
We start by learning your production goals, existing process, equipment, cycle-time requirements, safety considerations, and automation challenges.
2. Design & Engineering
Our engineering team develops a robotic automation solution around your application, facility, equipment, and production requirements.
3. Programming & Simulation
Robot programming and simulation help establish system movements, sequences, reach, and application requirements before final implementation.
4. Integration
The robotic system is integrated with the required controls, PLCs, HMIs, safety equipment, sensors, vision systems, conveyors, and production equipment.
5. Testing & Validation
Systems are tested and validated for operation, performance, repeatability, and safety before final commissioning.
6. Training
Operator and maintenance training helps your team understand system operation, basic troubleshooting, and proper equipment procedures.
7. Support
NKC can provide ongoing robotic support, troubleshooting, maintenance, programming modifications, and system upgrades as your production requirements change.
Custom Robotic Solutions Built Around Your Operation
No two manufacturing processes are exactly alike. NKC develops custom robotic automation solutions around your equipment, products, production goals, facility layout, and existing control systems.
Our capabilities allow us to support projects ranging from a single robotic cell to larger integrated manufacturing systems.
Located in Memphis, Tennessee, NKC supports industrial and manufacturing customers throughout the Mid-South and across the United States.
