CUSTOM ENGINEERED MACHINERY
AND AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

All of our custom-built equipment and automation systems are designed and built in-house, in the United States. Never outsourced. That’s the way we’ve been doing it for over 35 years.

About Us

A Leading Automation Integrator Led by Engineers

rpGatta, inc. is an innovative engineering firm with decades of experience in custom designing equipment to suit our customer’s specific manufacturing needs.

We draw from our wealth of experience and expertise as System Integrators of Automation, Robotic Integration, Assembly Lines, Gauging, Machine Vision & Robotic Guidance, Custom Assembly Machines, Fastening Systems, Fixturing, Custom Conveyors, Metal Marking Systems, Material Handling, Ergonomic Assists, Deburring, Liquid Dispensing, and Headlamp Aiming Systems.

rpGatta, inc is a certified Fanuc, ABB, Motoman, Kawasaki, Kuka, and Epson System Integrator. We custom design automated equipment and robot cells for Assembly, Material Handling, Machining, and Fastening Applications, Vision Guidance, Metal Deburring, High Speed Assembly, Robotic Liquid Dispense Systems, etc.

We are accustomed to tailoring our equipment to meet our customers specific design standards.

Our electrical engineers are well versed in Allen Bradley, GE, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Toyopuc, Yaskawa, and Omron PLC controls. We design and build complete turnkey systems (electrical, controls, and mechanical) in our 56,000 sq. ft. facility, 45,000 sq. ft. of which is dedicated to welding, fabrication, painting, assembly, and testing of equipment.

There are five 5-ton capacity overhead electric traveling cranes to aid in machine assembly, and three docks for shipping and receiving. Our mechanical and electrical engineers are proficient with 3D CAD programs (AutoDesk Inventor, Unigraphics, I-Deas, other CAD programs, and AutoCAD Electrical, etc.) rpGatta inc. is ISO 9001:2015/T.E. and ISO 14001:2004 Compliant, and has been awarded Q1 by Ford Motor Company.

Our turnkey equipment is custom designed to suit our customer’s specific needs. We draw from our wealth of experience and expertise as System Integrators in the following industries:

Our Process

How We Work

80% of the equipment we design is first-of-kind (prototypes) that must go into full production upon arrival at our customer’s facilities.

We have a minimum of (7) Engineers very involved in overseeing each project: President, Vice President, Mechanical Engineering Supervisor, Electrical Engineering Supervisor, Sales Engineer/Project Manager, Project Mechanical Engineer, and Project Controls Engineer

Very often, we conceptualize the equipment from scratch with only the end purpose requirement provided by our customers.

We engineer the machine or system mechanically, electrically, pneumatically, hydraulically, and the software all in house.
