Custom machines and special-purpose machinery
We design and build highly automated machines and specialised robots — mechanics, electronics and control under one roof — and install them across the world, engineered for robustness and years of uptime.
What we build
- Single-unit and small-series machines and robots
- Special-purpose machines built around one production task
- Automated assembly and handling stations
- Field hardware such as trailer-mounted camera columns
- Frames, enclosures and structural parts made on our own line
Design and manufacturing under one roof
The machine is designed by the people who make its parts. Nothing waits for a subcontractor.
Sheet metal
TRUMPF TruMatic 1000 and TruBend 5170 with ToolMaster — frames, panels and housings with threads formed straight into the plate.
Machining
Mazak INTEGREX i-100H ST — nine controlled axes, complex parts in a single clamping.
Welding & robotics
IPG LightWELD XR on FANUC CRX cobots — low-distortion welded sub-assemblies.
SLS 3D printing
EOS FORMIGA P110 Velocis in PA12 — brackets and fittings without injection-mould tooling.
Proof from our own floor
When we redesigned the PhotoRobot FRAME V6 and CUBE COMPACT for automated in-house production, FRAME V6 assembly fell from 4 days with two workers to 2.5 days with one, and CUBE COMPACT from 2 days with two workers to 4 hours with one.
How a machine project runs
- 01
Brief
You describe the task, the parts, the required output and the space available. We ask the questions that decide the concept.
- 02
Concept & design
Mechanics, electronics and controls are designed together; robot paths are simulated before any metal is cut.
- 03
Build & test
Parts are made on our own machines, then assembled and tested in Prague.
- 04
Installation & service
We install on site and keep the machine running — the same team installs PhotoRobot systems across the world.
What helps us prepare an offer
- A short description of the task and the parts to be handled
- Required output or cycle time
- Drawings, 3D models or photos of the parts
- Available space, power and interfaces to existing equipment
- Quantity — a single machine or a small series
Frequently asked questions
Do you build a single machine?
Yes. Single units and small series are our normal work — from one piece, immediately.
Who designs the machine?
Our own engineers. We design what we build — mechanics, electronics and controls — in SolidWorks, Autodesk Fusion and FANUC RoboGuide.
Do you install outside the Czech Republic?
Yes. The team behind prototype.builders designs PhotoRobot’s robots and installs them across the world.
Can you make only the parts for our own design?
Yes. Sheet-metal parts, machined parts, laser-welded assemblies and SLS parts are also available on their own.
