Technology company LMI Technologies, part of TKH Group, which specialises in automation, has bought Liberty Robotics, a provider of 3D vision guidance systems for robotic applications.
Liberty Robotics, which is headquartered in Michigan and has 32 employees, 70% of which are in research and development, had a turnover of US$7m in 2023.
The company has a strong presence in the North American market, and has specialties in automotive, materials handling, packaging, and logistics industries.
The company’s systems enable precise end-of-arm robotic guidance for applications including part handling and the application of coatings and sealers.
Mark Radford, CEO of TKH 3D Vision, said: “This acquisition marks a further milestone in TKH’s 3D vision’s strategic growth, and expands our solution-based capabilities in the automotive and packaging and logistics industries.
“Liberty Robotics brings deep expertise in robot integration as well as powerful application-level software, including its industry-leading solutions for vision-based robotic guidance. Combining Liberty Robotics’ proven technologies with our 3D vision sensor technology will set new benchmarks in factory automation, efficiency and automation.”
Innovations and achievements in 3D vision will be highlighted and celebrated at the second annual Robotics & Automation Awards on 06 November 2024 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
