Pioneering is in our DNA: why we reinvented the Tower from scratch
Pioneering is in our DNA: why we reinvented the Tower from scratch
The manufacturing industry is all about innovation. Machines are becoming faster, stronger and smarter. Companies are under pressure to produce more efficiently while remaining flexible. For RoboJob, this is not a threat, but an opportunity. Ever since our foundation, we have believed that you can only remain a leader by constantly raising the bar.
Our first Tower automation – the first-generation Tower – has been a trusted player in the workshops of many manufacturers for 8 years already. It offers reliability and capacity, and thanks to this system, many companies dared to take the step towards automation. It proved to be a hit: since we presented the Tower at the EMO trade fair in 2017, no fewer than 150 have been installed! But markets change, and we noticed that new needs were gradually emerging. Operators wanted more ergonomics and ease of use. Companies wanted more capacity, but without sacrificing floor space. And robots themselves continued to evolve in terms of speed and precision.
We had two choices: to adapt the Tower bit by bit, or to have the courage to start completely from scratch. The latter is typical of RoboJob. We often dream, design and build in small steps, but we also dare to innovate radically – always with one goal in mind: to create the best solutions for our customers.
This is how the Tower EVO came into being. EVO stands for evolution, but don't be fooled: this is not just an upgrade. It is the result of years of experience, countless customer installations and years of research by our R&D team. A completely reworked concept that retains the best features of the previous generation, but at the same time makes a leap forward in just about every area.
The Tower EVO already has some striking advantages right from the start:
- A more compact footprint, yet with up to 40% more capacity.
- Smart innovations such as a transfer hatch instead of a second lift.
- A self-developed servo gripper that exponentially increases the robot's flexibility.
- And a completely new User Interface, which makes automation more accessible to every operator.
At RoboJob, innovation is never about the technology itself, but about the value it brings to the customer. The EVO is therefore not a prestige product, but a smart solution to real challenges: space, capacity, flexibility and user-friendliness.
This makes the Tower EVO much more than a product. It is proof that pioneering is in our DNA. While some cling to existing systems, RoboJob has been daring to redesign and reinvent for ten years. Not because we have to, but because we believe that the manufacturing industry can only move forward through innovation.
The Tower EVO is RoboJob's next big leap. And at the same time, it is just the beginning of our next chapter.
