RoboRail Increases Productivity and Opportunity in a Short Time



The RoboRail all-in-one plasma cutting machine, a collaboration between HGG Profiling Equipment, Inc. and Automated Layout Technology, has been tested successfully at SL Chasse (Hudson, NH). The full-service structural steel and miscellaneous metals fabricator was instrumental in the development of the RoboRail system, as well as its implementation into production.

"A few years ago, Steve Chasse, President of SL Chasse, came up with an idea for a machine designed for the layout of stairs and railings," said Mike Evans, Sales Director at Automated Layout Technology. "He needed something that could process various metals and shapes quickly."

Evans immediately understood what Chasse was looking for. After failing to find a machine that fit their needs on the market, he approached HGG Profiling Equipment (Houston, TX) about helping them develop something new.

Founded by engineers in the Netherlands in 1984, HGG provides many of the machines and techniques used in 3D profiling today.

"This has been an exciting collaboration," said HGG Chief Commercial Officer, Wiebe Wiersma. "After a successful test of the machine, we are pleased to continue our partnership with Automated Layout Technology to market the RoboRail across North America."

The RoboRail addresses the day-to-day production issues of miscellaneous metal fabricators. The machine is flexible and sturdy, making it capable of processing parts in a variety of sizes, shapes and metals.

Automating many processes that many miscellaneous fabricators do by hand opens up the potential for big gains in time and money.

"SL Chasse is completing some projects in almost half the time before installation of the RoboRail," said Evans. "They have also been able to accept projects they would have rejected before, so the machine paid for itself very quickly."

The RoboRail is designed to be easy to set up and use, reducing the amount of time it takes companies to get up and running.

"Ease of use was very important to everyone involved in this project," said Evans. "SL Chasse was productive from the get-go. It took two or three days to get their people trained and efficient on the machine."

RoboRail is represented exclusively in the U.S. by Automated Layout Technology.
