About Acieta
Acieta designs complete production cells around processes such as welding, press-brake tending, palletising, material removal, assembly and inspection. Each project combines the robot with tooling, fixtures, sensors, guarding, controls and interfaces to the customer’s existing machines rather than delivering an unconfigured arm.
The integration process extends from application analysis and simulation through system construction, installation, training and maintenance. Acieta also supports autonomous mobile robots and flexible automation where material must move between operations, giving manufacturers one integrator across both fixed workcells and internal logistics.
