One platform. Every machine.
Every system in this gallery runs on the AutoBlocks platform — Control Block, AutoCode, and the AB+ ecosystem. From compact operator stations to 25-foot robotic production systems, each machine demonstrates what happens when motion control, machine logic, safety, and HMI are unified in a single architecture.
Built by AutoBlocks engineers and our Certified Integrator network.
2× productivity at delivery. And it kept getting better.
Mission-critical electronics · Commercial blasting industry · Robotics · Dual-zone architecture · Customer-extensible
A high-throughput dual-zone production cell built for a multinational manufacturer of mission-critical electronic components — products where every solder joint is life-safety critical and every batch is fully traceable. The customer’s existing single-station soldering process couldn’t keep pace with mixed-volume demand, and reconfiguring for new part variants meant engineering escalation and downtime.
The Autoblocks dual-zone architecture delivered 2× productivity against the single-station baseline, with operators loading one zone’s fixture while a Japan Unix precision soldering gantry processes the other — continuous production with zero idle time. Indexing, part-presence sensing, fume extraction, status indication, and the integrated Keyence safety architecture all run from a single Control Block. No separate PLC. No third-party safety controller. No glue code between vendors.
The part most automation platforms can’t deliver came after the cell shipped. The customer’s own engineering team added two integrated trimming stations to the cycle — pneumatically actuated, with their own part-presence sensors — and wired them straight into the existing AutoCode program. No vendor callback. No re-commissioning. The trimming stations execute as native steps inside the same cycle that drives the soldering gantry. That’s what AutoCode delivers — not a closed runtime, but a no-code operating system for the cell.
Capabilities: Multi-axis coordinated motion · Robotic iron-tip soldering (Japan Unix gantry) · Dual-zone indexing · Part-presence sensing · Integrated fume extraction · Pneumatic trimming stations (customer-added) · Keyence safety architecture · Pendant HMI · Customer-extensible via AutoCode
3× throughput. 75% less labor. And the customer keeps adding recipes.
High-precision copper-tube brazing · Custom 25-ft gantry · Robotics · Induction process control · Customer-extensible
A large-scale production system built for a manufacturer of high-precision copper-tube assemblies — products where every brazed joint is mission-critical and rejection is expensive. The customer’s manual brazing process couldn’t keep up with rising demand: hand-fixturing, manual coil positioning, and operator-managed timing pushed defect rates higher than they could accept, and three operators per shift wasn’t sustainable as volumes grew.
A custom 25-foot Cartesian gantry built on the Autoblocks Control Block, paired with an RDO Induction Heating Solutions power supply for repeatable, recipe-driven heat delivery. The gantry positions tubes and the induction head with closed-loop precision; the RDO unit handles the brazing process; the Control Block coordinates motion, induction recipes, material handling, safety, and the operator interface from a single platform. No PLC. No separate motion controller. No third-party HMI. The entire system is programmed in AutoCode.
3× throughput against the manual baseline. Labor reduced 75% — one operator now runs the system that previously required three. Process consistency improved sharply via closed-loop motion repeatability paired with recipe-driven induction control. The strongest payoff came after deployment: as the customer extended their copper-tube product line, their own engineering team added more than a dozen new recipes covering additional tube diameters and joint geometries — all directly through the Pendant, all in AutoCode, all without a vendor callback. That’s the difference between a turnkey machine and a platform.

100% the same AutoCode. An embedded Autoblocks controller — built into the RDO power supply, running the exact runtime that drives full robotic cells.
An embedded Autoblocks controller — a compact embedded variant of the platform, not the full standalone Control Block, but the same processor and 100% the same AutoCode runtime — was built into the RDO Induction power supply. A 10″ touchscreen mounted on the front of the unit replaces the standalone Pendant. Power-on sequencing, coil enable, ramp / dwell / cooldown profiles, recipe selection, fault interlocks, and per-cycle data logging all run on the embedded controller — directly inside the supply, with no external box required.
Because the runtime is identical, every AutoCode program that runs on a full Control Block runs on the embedded controller as-is. Recipe screens, data logs, and the AutoCode language are the same — operators and integrators see one platform.
100% the same AutoCode across the full Control Block (in robotic cells) and the embedded controller (inside the power supply). RDO ships a supply with operator-configurable recipes on the built-in 10″ touchscreen and audit-grade per-cycle logs (recipe, setpoints, actuals, faults, timestamp) without writing custom firmware per product class. RDO’s engineering team adds new recipes, process steps, and logged data fields the same way Autoblocks ships them to robotic-cell customers — at the touchscreen, in AutoCode, with no vendor callback. One codebase. Two completely different machine classes.

This machine was designed and built using the Turn Block 24, and the Induction Block. This simple and productive machine is manually loaded/unloaded with a PCB board and some high mass parts that are soldered together using solder paste. The Turn Block table is fitted with fixtures for highly consistent location while the Induction block has a vertical axis of motion to accurately move the heating coil in and out during indexing. The enclosure protects the operator from burning hazards, allows for fume extraction, and provides part tracking through the machine.
This machine was designed and built using the Turn Block 24, an Epson T3 Motion Block, and an ASG basic screw fastening kit. It includes a 36” aluminum table, 3D printed fixtures, and a safety enclosure with part presence sensor, light curtain, door switch, and light tower. This machine allows an operator to double productivity by allowing them to manually assembly components while the robot drives the screws. This machine is a desktop version but has the ability to be expanded to add more stations and a machine base.
These machines represent a fraction of what’s been deployed on AutoBlocks. If you’re an integrator or machine builder ready to build on the platform — or a manufacturer looking for a turnkey solution — we’re ready to talk.
