Inside a Precision Robotic Automation Cell at Noreside Engineering
At Noreside Engineering, robotic automation is engineered as part of a complete system, bringing robotics, fabrication and process expertise together from design through to integration. Our latest robotic automation cell is a strong example of this approach.
The system features FANUC SR-3A SCARA robots alongside an LR Mate 200iD, integrated into a robust stainless steel structure fabricated and assembled in-house by our skilled engineering team.
SCARA robots deliver faster, consistent, and reliable output – ensuring precision and efficiency for your cleanroom operations. In this cell, the FANUC SR-3A robots are used where speed, repeatability and positional accuracy are critical. Their compact footprint and high-speed motion make them ideal for pick-and-place, assembly and transfer tasks in controlled manufacturing environments.
Complementing the SCARA robots is the FANUC LR Mate 200iD, a versatile six-axis robot suited to tasks requiring greater reach and flexibility. Its ability to handle complex movements allows the cell to manage multiple process steps while maintaining accuracy and consistency throughout the cycle.
What differentiates this project is not just the robotics, but the engineering behind them. Every frame, guard, mount and interface has been precision welded and finished by our fabrication team. Stainless steel construction ensures durability, cleanliness and long-term performance, particularly important for food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications where hygiene and compliance are non-negotiable.
Our engineers work closely across disciplines, from robotic programming and mechanical design through to fabrication and installation. This integrated approach reduces risk during commissioning, improves system reliability and ensures the automation performs exactly as intended once it reaches the customer’s site.
The automation cell has been designed with maintainability and future expansion in mind. Clear access points, structured cable routing and modular design allow for easier servicing and potential upgrades as production demands evolve. This forward-thinking design philosophy helps protect long-term investment while supporting operational flexibility.
At Noreside Engineering, automation is about more than speed or throughput alone. It is about building systems that are repeatable, reliable and engineered to suit the real-world demands of regulated manufacturing environments. This robotic automation cell reflects our commitment to precision, quality and engineering excellence at every stage of the process.
