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 designed to be scalable, robust, and seamlessly integrable into any automated production line. This system can operate either as individual standalone work cells or as part of a multi-operation assembly process, utilizing a centralized common control cabinet for efficiency and coordination.
Based on our popular open-format C-Series machine, the Multi-WorkStation System features thruster-based machines with XY mount stages for precise alignment. These systems incorporate all our quick-change tooling features and accommodate our standard options and accessories, providing versatility and ease of use.
