R. A. Rodriguez creates new automation company
05 May 2016
Since 2011, R. A. Rodriguez has been steadily adding automation products to its portfolio. Consistent growth has now prompted the Letchworth-based company to strategically separate this division. As a result, all automation sales are now the responsibility of the newly formed RARUK Automation Limited, which is dedicated to developing a group of automation products with a unique edge.
“The creation of a separate organisation allows us to tool up for the growing demands of automation in the UK, whilst not losing sight of our traditional strengths as a supplier of the highest quality transmission components,” explained Peter Williamson, MD of both R. A. Rodriguez (UK) and RARUK Automation. “The move allows us to optimise the growth of both strands of our business.”
At present, four product ranges dominate the RARUK Automation catalogue. The first is Universal Robot, collaborative robots that effectively launched R. A. Rodriguez into the field of stand-alone automation five years ago. Only recently, the company’s position as a leading supplier of these robots in the UK was cemented by its appointment as Universal Robot’s sole UK Preferred Supplier for 2016.
These robots are now complemented by the availability of Robotiq 2- and 3-finger grippers and force torque sensors that extend application scope.
