Automation / Assembly Platforms

Since 1985, Kirkco has been a leader in providing adhesive, sealant, and lubricant dispensing solutions for the automation and assembly industry. Our robotic systems are designed to integrate seamlessly into your production lines, delivering unparalleled precision and efficiency for a wide range of applications.

Robotic Solutions for Every Need

We offer both two/three-axis robotic systems to meet the specific demands of your assembly processes.

Our systems are designed for flexibility and cost-effectiveness, with minimal changeover time and the ability to produce perfect quality products time after time. By integrating with Kirkco’s single- or two-component pumping and metering systems, our robotic solutions provide a fully self-contained, semi-automatic cell for your assembly line.
