"The last few years have shown us that our customers want a single point of contact and complete turn-key solutions", explained Peter Jelf, Technical Director of PCS Industries.
"As a result, we've moved away from the re-seller approach and back to the company's roots as a complete solutions provider".
"The relationship with TM Robotics allows ours customers access to the company's range of SCARA and Cartesian robots, which is a major step forward".
"I have long felt that it's better to be able to offer a complete package containing a separate vision system and robot, as opposed to a robot with an integrated camera", explained Nigel Smith, Managing Director of TM Robotics.
"It gives the end user the best of all worlds - a robot designed and built by experts, software written by experts and a camera developed by experts".
"It also gives the integrator the chance to choose the right products for the job".
