Timeline

2025-09-09 - Deployment - Rapid Design actuator enters Metal Integrity machine-tending cell - Metal Integrity automated its existing Kurt workholding with a Rapid Design Solutions CNC vise actuator. The actuator replaced a pneumatic vise that could not hold the target part's required tolerances. The completed OB7 cell raised weekly output from 180… - source: imcpa.com
2025-08-01 - Product Launch - 35-pound OB7 Max 16 expands heavy-part cobot capacity - The cobot combined a 35-pound payload with a 39-inch reach. Its seven-axis design supported access around fixtures, vises and machine doors. The Max 16 retained the OB7 teach-by-touch interface with no programming required. - source: productiverobotics.com
2025-07-28 - Partnership - Productive Robotics and Miller launch Blaze Laser Cell - The cell integrated a Miller OptX laser with optional pre-weld and post-weld cleaning. Its enclosed design eliminated the need for a dedicated darkroom. Operators could use preset welding settings or teach custom paths without programming. - source: productiverobotics.com
