"At PPCP, we are constantly working to provide our customers with even higher levels of quality and value," says Andrew Miller, President and CEO of PPCP. "Adding two more cutting-edge robotic dipping systems is a great example of our commitment to continuous improvement."

PPCPs new systems were fabricated and programmed by KEA Automation and utilize advanced Kawasaki robotic arms. The versatile robotic arms have been specially integrated into the system by KEA Automation to meet PPCPs specific needs and requirements. Each individual part made for PPCP customers will have its own unique program to control the robotic system.

"Our new robotic dipping systems provide streamlined, continuous operation, which enables us to deliver highly reliable castings to our customers," says Miller. "They are valuable additions to our capabilities."
