Axiom builds force-controlled arms and autonomous mobile robots for the heaviest work on the floor — palletizing, machine tending, and material transport that runs three shifts a day with no one at the controls. Engineered to the micron, certified to the line, and held to the cycle by a controller that never drifts.
Holding the line in plants across North America and the EU
Performance measured on the floor, not in the brochure
Arms, mobile robots, vision, and safety run on a single deterministic runtime. No middleware sprawl, no vendor-by-vendor integration tax — one system that treats the whole line as one machine.
Six- and seven-axis arms with closed-loop force sensing at the wrist. They feel a fit, seat a part, and back off a jam the way a skilled operator would — not by crashing through it.
Self-navigating mobile robots that map the plant once, then move pallets, totes, and WIP between cells with no tape, no beacons, and no rewiring of the floor.
3D vision identifies, locates, and inspects parts in bins and on belts — no fixturing, no perfect presentation, no second camera vendor to certify.
Speed-and-separation monitoring and power-and-force limiting are designed into the controller, not bolted on. Workers and robots share the cell, rated and signed off.
A hard-real-time control loop runs every joint, sensor, and safety channel on one clock. Behaviour is repeatable to the cycle — same input, same motion, every time.
Every Axiom system ships pre-validated for its task, commissioned by our engineers, and rated for continuous duty. Choose the platform, define the cell, and we certify it against your parts before it leaves our floor.
The workhorse for machine tending, assembly, and pick-and-place. Force-controlled, vision-guided, and quiet enough to stand beside. Redeploys to a new task in an afternoon, not a quarter.
For die handling, casting transfer, and palletizing at the limit of what a person should ever lift. Seven axes reach around fixtures a six-axis arm cannot, with the rigidity to hold a tonne dead still.
Maps the plant from a single guided walk, then moves material between cells on its own. Sees forklifts, people, and spills — and yields without a single line of tape on the floor.
An arm, vision, safety scanning, and guarding delivered as one certified enclosure. Rolled in, bolted down, and producing parts the same week — no integrator, no surprises at sign-off.
An arm that only repeats a taught path breaks the first time reality moves. Axiom systems sense, decide, and adapt inside the safety envelope — so they keep running through the variation a real floor throws at them.
Guide the arm by hand through the motion once. It records the path, the forces, and the tolerances — then runs it faithfully, with no robotics programmer on the payroll.
Vision and force together let a gripper find, orient, and seat parts that arrive crooked, stacked, or off-centre — the conditions that stop a blind, pre-taught robot cold.
Every joint reports torque, temperature, and wear in real time. The system flags a failing bearing days out and schedules the fix into planned downtime, not a 2am line stoppage.
Tune a cell on one line and push the improvement to every identical cell across every plant. The fleet gets faster and more reliable the longer you run it.
We do not drop a crate and wish you luck. Axiom engineers own the cell from the first walk of your line to the day it runs unattended — and stay on the system for as long as it runs.
Our engineers walk your floor, time your bottleneck, and model the cell before you commit a dollar. You get a payback projection grounded in your cycle times, not ours.
We design, build, and pre-commission the full cell offsite — arm, vision, safety, and guarding — then validate it against your parts before it ships.
Installed, integrated to your PLC and MES, and run to a signed acceptance test on your floor. We hand it over only when it hits the rate we promised.
Remote monitoring, guaranteed spares, and a four-hour response SLA. Software updates land over the air; a failed unit ships before the old one is even cold.
“We put an AX-7 on the casting transfer that injured two people in five years. It has run eighteen months, three shifts, zero incidents — and throughput is up nineteen percent. I do not know how we operated without it.”
“Every robot vendor before Axiom sold us a science project. Axiom walked the floor, told us one cell was a bad fit, and only quoted the work that would pay back. That honesty is why we now run nine of their cells.”
“My maintenance team was terrified of robots. Now they teach the arms a new part themselves over a coffee break. Axiom made automation something the floor owns, not something it fears.”
We never quote a system off a brochure. An Axiom engineer audits your line, times your real bottleneck, and models the cell against your parts and cycle times. If automation is the wrong call for a station, we tell you — before you spend anything.
Yes. Arms are taught by hand-guiding them through the motion, and the runtime handles paths, forces, and safety. Most customers retrain their existing maintenance techs in a day and never hire a robotics specialist.
Speed-and-separation monitoring and power-and-force limiting are built into the controller and certified to ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066. Cells are risk-assessed and signed off before they run, so people and robots can share the floor safely.
Every system is monitored remotely and self-reports component wear before failure. If a unit does go down, our SLA guarantees a four-hour response and we ship a replacement from guaranteed spares — your line is the priority, not a ticket queue.
Median payback across deployed fleets is eleven months, driven by recovered throughput, reduced scrap, and shifts that no longer depend on hard-to-fill labour. Your line audit produces a payback figure built on your own numbers.
Book a line audit and an Axiom engineer will time your hardest station, model the cell, and show you the payback — no obligation, no science project, no crate left on the dock.
