TM Robotics Partners with ASG to Sell Toshiba Robots
This deal targets complex assembly, industrial and precision fastening applications in automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, energy, and appliance work.
Posted: March 27, 2017
TM Robotics Inc. (Elk Grove Village, IL), in partnership with Toshiba Machine Co., America (Elk Grove Village, IL), announced that they have teamed up with ASG, Division of Jergens, Inc. (Cleveland, OH), a certified manufacturer, provider, and service center focused on products and automated solutions for assembly. ASG will now offer Toshiba Machine robots in both national and international markets.
With many projects that require vertical down-driving of screws, ASG was looking for a robotic partner that offered high speed, robust solutions with advanced, cost-effective functionality. This partnership will give users countless opportunities to integrate their screw feeding systems with Toshiba Machine SCARA robots.
ASG has subsidiaries in Shanghai, China, and Mumbai, India, and sales offices in Mexico and Europe. They offer a complete line of torque control screwdrivers, workstation accessories, production aides, and precision fastening equipment. In 2015, they expanded their three product groups of Assembly, Industrial and Precision Fastening to include ASG Automation for providing custom solutions to complex applications. Their target industries include automotive, aerospace, medical, electronics, energy, and appliance applications.
“We were introduced to TM Robotics through a mutual customer who selected a TH650A SCARA robot for the automation system that they were purchasing from us,” said Doug Wright, the technical services manager at ASG. “Upon doing further research, it quickly became clear that Toshiba Machine’s flexibility and adaptability would be the perfect addition to our robotic system. We’re looking forward to showing our customers the power of the SCARA series.”
In addition to being a good value for their functionality, another reason ASG partnered with TM Robotics is their customer service. By having a live person on-hand to answer questions and walk partners and users through installation, issues get solved in a timely manner. “We’re continuing the aggressive expansion of our distributor and solution provider program in the United States, with plans to double the amount of partners this year over last year,” said Nigel Smith, the founder and chief executive officer of TM Robotics. “ASG focuses on a particular niche of the market that we’ve been hoping to fill for quite some time. We’re looking forward to working with their fantastic team.”
