From robotic integration to custom assembly equipment, we develop automation systems designed to improve productivity, quality, and manufacturing efficiency.

Robotic Applications

Robotic integration for assembly, machining, material handling, and custom production systems.

Custom Assembly Equipment

Purpose-built assembly system designed around your manufacturing process.

Joining Technologies

Sonic staking, sonic knife, IR welding, ultrasonic welding, and hot-air/cold-stake welding.

Leak Test Systems

Air, gas, and liquid leak testing equipment for reliable production validation.

Lamination & Forming

Lamination equipment, fold-back machines, and application-specific manufacturing solutions.

Custom Manufacturing Equipment

Custom punch machines and specialized automation systems built for unique production requirements.

From Concept to Production Launch

Our Program Process

Every automation program follows a proven workflow that encourages collaboration, reduces handoffs, and keeps customers involved throughout the project, helping deliver systems that are ready for production.

We evaluate your manufacturing goals, production requirements, and project scope to develop the right automation solution.

Our engineering team designs the mechanical, electrical, controls, and robotic systems that bring your concept to life.

Automation equipment is manufactured, assembled, programmed, and integrated into a complete production-ready system.

The system is tested, refined, and validated through customer runoffs to ensure it meets performance requirements.

We install the system, provide training, and support production startup to help ensure a successful launch.

Industry Expertise

We Know What’s at Stake on Your Production Line.

Every production line has its own throughput targets, changeover demands, and safety requirements. CGA&F brings FANUC-certified robotic integration and precision fixture engineering to every program — so your automation is built for the pace of your floor, not just the spec sheet it was quoted from.

Automotive production lines demand high-speed, repeatable material handling across body, powertrain, and interior applications. CGAF supports these programs with FANUC-certified robotic cells and precision-engineered fixtures, integrated to hold automotive tolerances at the cycle times production schedules require.

From small appliances to everyday consumer goods, production volumes and part geometries vary widely from one program to the next. CGAF designs robotic cells and custom fixturing around each product’s specific handling and assembly needs, helping manufacturers automate reliably without re-engineering the line for every SKU.

Agricultural equipment manufacturing often involves heavy, awkward components that are difficult to handle safely and consistently by hand. CGAF builds robotic cells and rugged fixture systems sized for the weight and duty cycles agricultural production demands, keeping heavy-component handling safe and repeatable.

Recreational and sport utility products often combine large components with tight assembly tolerances. CGAF’s robotic integration and fixture engineering give manufacturers the precise, repeatable handling these complex assemblies require, whether on the line or in supporting production cells.
