The Multi-WorkStation System® for Automation and Integration

“Scalable, Configurable, and Easy to Integrate Solutions for Automation”

The Multi-WorkStation System by Thermal Press International is engineered to be scalable, robust and easy to integrate. The Multi-WorkStation System can be installed into any automated production line. Each WorkStation can function as a standalone work cell or function as part of a multi-operation assembly process. The Multi-WorkStation System utilizes a centralized common control cabinet.

The WorkStation concept is based upon our popular open-format C Series machine. The Multi-WorkStation System feature easy to integrate thruster-based machines with XY mounts stages for accurate alignment. Thermal Press WorkStation systems utilize all of our quick-change tooling features and can accommodate all of our standard options and accessories. These Multi-WorkStation Systems have all our standard quick-change tooling and part handling options available.
