Joseph — Automation Engineer

ABB is my highest level of expertise. I have worked for ABB as well as had a hand in designing certain new controls systems which go into the newer model robots. The calibration system to be exact. No longer does the calibration require so much work or cost. I can do anything with an ABB robot and an Allen Bradley PLC.

Certfied by SICK. I can install and design all areas with warning areas to danger areas and have the systems communicate across multiple platforms.

Absolute Expert in all aspect of Kuka. from Scratch programming Integration and install adaptation to multiple processes Advanced level programming, mechanical, and electrical skills

This is the vision system I am most versed in. Certified through Cognex for full install, calibration, and both Spreadsheet and Easy View Design of images. Very well versed in lighting and outside aspects of image capture.

Certified by Rockwell Automation I am able to install all systems from the back plane to the HMI. Then can program from scratch along with all sensors required for the process. This is where I design the process for maximum efficiency as well.

Certified through Dynamic Robotic Solutions based our of Arborn Hills, Michigan I can do all aspects of this robotic system from concrete pour to sytem process debug. This was the first Robot I learned to weld on as well has part pick and place.

Certified in Programming and Install of all aspects of this Robotic system. All PM requierments as well as full robot rebuilds.

Spending the time in this industry and touching so many different processes I have learned a lot of what "hands on" truly means. If you want a process to be automated I do not only have the book knowledge to do so but I also have the hands on knowledge to do so. If you ask for a system or process to become automated I will give you at a minimum three options. All of which include a full price breakdown, lead time for machinary to be built, cost for integration and install, full safety systems breakdown to ensure you are nothing less than one hundred percent compliant, as well as a full breakdown of how much the integration will save your company over the next six months, one year, three years, and five years. You will also get a system which will provide the maximum uptime and minimum down time. We are very thourgh in our recomendations and have the ability to consult on EVERY platform in the industry.

We utilize varying types of design software from pen and paper to advanced electronic design programs such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD LT 19.

SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE CONCERN. To make it virtually impossible for an accident to occur after we have installed and commissioned your new system. QUALITY OF OUR INSTALL IS PARAMOUNT. With the Titan name on your equipment, you can truly know that the best in the industry did not build exactly what you asked for. WE BUILT IT BETTER, STRONGER, AND MORE EFFECTIVE than you could have thought possible.

Titan offers programming accross multiple types of robotics systems. ABB, Fanuc, MotoMan, and Kuka. The company is currently working on gaining the ability for Mitsubishi Robots as well.

With multiple certifications throughout Titan we can also train your technicians, operators, and even supervision systems and processes. At the end of each training secession, each person, upon passing an exam, will receive a certificate stating his or her completion of each class. Having a Titan Certification means that your employees did not sit through a meaningless class. It means that they are experts in the field of study up to the regiment of the class.

Usign Routerware for most of these applications through the ABB platform we have cut costs in scrap by up to fifty percent in multiple industries. What did this by removing just what was needed from the parts while still maintaining one hundred percent part quality integrity. Having operators deburr would allow for mistakes to be made that would scrap the full part.

Part pick and place is route with a VERY wide range of operational requiments. With so many product designs there are a large variety of gripper styles. We have the ability to initially design the unit from picking and placeing an egg to 1300 C post molded parts that still need to be placed into a cooling process.

Mainly for use with soft materials such as wheel wells in the automotive industry. We can completly rebuild the head units as well as show ways of extending Head Unit life while ensuring the crystal are very well protected

From working on the pressurizer systems to full installs and systems programming. We understand the coiling of the tubing as well as better ways to increase tip life at the head unit.

Certified Mig, Tig, and Stick Can also program outside axiis such as trunnions, goodles, turn tables, tilts, etc.
