TF AUTOMATION WORKING WITH
MANUFACTURERS TO PROVIDE BESPOKE
PROCESS AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS
TF Automation design, engineer and
manufacture process automation solutions
as well as supplying pneumatic and
industrial components. Supporting a
wide range of manufacturing industries
from automotive, aerospace and
pharmaceutical, to food and beverage,
printing and packaging, we provide special
purpose machinery designed to clients’
bespoke requirements.
Our projects range from full manufacturing
units to specialist components all
engineered to integrate fully with existing
production lines. Our engineering and
design expertise is extensive and we
offer the latest technology across a wide
range of disciplines including pneumatics,
robotics, automated assembly, in-mould
labelling, pick and place and leak testing,
with process automation as our core focus.
We deliver a wide range of automation
solutions for clients, from bench-top
checking/gauging fixtures to multiple 6
Axis robotic pick & place systems. We also
have particular expertise working with
plastic components including assembly,
machining and finishing, and in-mould
labelling.
again, offering accuracy and repeatability
far superior to the same task carried out
manually, thus ensuring increased output
and efficiency.
Component assembly and testing is
a crucial part of many of our clients’
manufacturing processes. Using the latest
pneumatic and linear drive technology,
we design systems to include multiple
testing stations including vision, force and
distance with checks in place to reject non-
compliant components.
All projects are carried out in-house,
including concept design created in
Solidworks 3D CAD, CNC machining,
manufacturing (mechanical and electrical),
testing, commissioning and programming.
Where we do bring in expertise and
components, we source only the most
renowned and innovative brands, ensuring
that all materials and components meet
strict quality standards.
We work with some of the largest
manufacturers in their respective fields,
all requiring product handling and
automation solutions to support some of
the world’s leading brands particularly in
the aerospace and automotive industries.
Consistency, improved production
efficiency and precision are our clients’ key
drivers, with the majority of our projects
concentrating on improving product
handling and automating manual-
handling processes.
