Customer Reviews(2)
Tom is a great Kawasaki robot programmer and was very helpful in commissioning our kit assembly at MAP. Would be happy to use him again.
Tom was a great help getting our Kawasaki robot to go home and cleaning up a few program issues. The original programmer was unavailable to return for this 2 day project but Automate America was able to get us another fill in right away. Thanks again to Tom and Automate America for the work well done.
