Founded in 2003, Turn-Key Solutions (TKS) has become a prominent system integrator specializing in robotic automation. Scott Etzel, who took full ownership six years ago, has since led the company through a period of rapid “hockey stick” growth, expanding its operations across the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and Germany, with an impressive year-over-year growth rate of 25%. TKS provides comprehensive, 360-degree service to its customers, fostering long-term relationships built on trust and reliability.
Turn-Key Solutions’ approach enables them to manage mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, robot programming, HMI, machining, painting, welding, and assembly — all in-house. This comprehensive service offering has set them apart in a competitive industry.
The challenge
One of TKS’ recent projects involved designing an automated storage and retrieval system for a customer. The application required two robots to process parts, with the need to move products vertically up to 30 feet and horizontally over 60 feet, demanding long strokes and high dynamic performance in a continuous operation. Additionally, the system needed to accommodate loads of up to 136 kg.
The project demanded not only reliable equipment that could endure such a heavy-duty schedule but also precise accuracy at 1.5 mm and speed.
Faced with this challenge, Turn-Key Solutions had to decide whether to build a custom solution in-house or purchase a pre-existing product that would meet their needs. After carefully evaluating the options, they recognized the complexity of the task and the need for a reliable, high-performance actuator.
