Custom machines & automation
We design and build highly automated machines and specialised robots — mechanics, electronics and control — and install them across the world, engineered for robustness and years of uptime.
Custom & small-series manufacturing
Special machines.
From one piece. Now.
High-value custom and small-series manufacturing. From sheet, bar and polyamide we build factory-grade parts and complete machines — laser-welded on robots, machined on nine controlled axes, finished in Prague. From one piece, immediately.
Built with the DNA of PhotoRobot

We start where others finish.
We chase the details nobody else notices, work with a feel for the material, and push every solution a little further. Call it the Apple of the workshop floor.
An ordinary metal shop is held back by the tools on its floor. We aren't. From flat sheet we build a fully factory-grade product — crisp bends, embossings and threads formed straight into the plate. We weld it with a laser carried by a robot: minimal heat distortion, the exact path at the exact speed. We sinter production-grade polyamide parts in geometries injection moulding can't reach — and hand them over the next day. Nine controlled axes on the Mazak INTEGREX finish the most complex parts in a single clamping, with blanks cut to size on a fully automatic Kasto saw.
Behind it is the team that designs PhotoRobot's robots and installs them across the world — engineered for robustness and years of uptime. We know exactly what we're doing, and our results show it.
We just love things that are a bit better.
Capabilities
What we can make
Sheet-metal fabrication
From flat sheet to a factory-grade part — crisp bends, embossings and threads formed straight into the plate on a fully digital TRUMPF line, validated against the bend sequence before any material is cut.
Precision CNC machining
Nine controlled axes on the Mazak INTEGREX — turning, milling, drilling and tapping in a single clamping, so tolerances never accumulate. Blanks cut to size on a fully automatic Kasto saw.
Robotic laser welding
A fibre laser carried by a robot — minimal heat distortion, the exact path at the exact speed, with laser pre- and post-cleaning in the same pass.
SLS 3D printing & finishing
Production-grade selective laser sintering in PA12 — geometries injection moulding can't reach, finished to a surface you can ship, and in your hands the next day.
Design & engineering
We design what we build. CAD/CAM and robot simulation feed straight into the shop floor, with AI handling the routine so the team can create.

Things we've built
Camera columns
A trailer-mounted superstructure integrating a telescopic column with over 4 m of reach for installing AI camera systems. Drive to site, deploy, capture.
Electrochemical cleaning pistol
A handheld electrochemical cleaning tool — a compact, ergonomic device for removing weld discolouration and surface oxides from stainless steel.
PhotoRobot FRAME V6 & CUBE
The hardware behind PhotoRobot, redesigned for in-house automated production: FRAME V6 assembly down to 2.5 days / 1 worker, CUBE COMPACT down to 4 hours / 1 worker.
