We’ve refreshed our website to better support planning your production automation investments. On the new site, you’ll find our solutions, applications, and references presented in a clearer, more user-friendly way. The update also highlights where we bring the most value: custom-built automation solutions that remove production bottlenecks and boost efficiency.
Take a look at the new site and see how you can level up your production!
We’ve just had a great and lively event, where our stand sparked some really interesting conversations and promising starts for new partnerships. At our stand, we showcased among other things a gripper designed to handle the bundles fed into a finger-jointing line.
The Wood Fair brought together more than 150 exhibitors from ten different countries, and over the course of three days the event was visited by 4102 wood industry professionals.
In our company, we have designed and manufactured a robot-mounted gripper for handling bundles fed into a finger-jointing line. The bundle is rotated to the desired position with a servo, while throughout the entire process it remains firmly clamped with a force of 3000 N.
You can find our gripper at the Wood Fair in Jyväskylä, stand B-450 – we look forward to seeing you on September 3–5, 2025!
You are warmly welcome to visit us at the largest professional trade fair for the wood industry in the Nordic countries! Wood Fair 2025 will take place at the Jyväskylä Paviljonki from September 3rd to 5th, 2025.
You’ll find us at stand B-450. See you in Jyväskylä in September!
We’ve got a new CNC lathe up and running, which means we can now offer a wider range of machining services. The DN Solutions Puma 3100LY comes with a Y-axis and Fanuc F0TF+ / iHMI control. You’ll also find our new machinist working away at the lathe.
Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) has granted a patent (131160) for a gripper developed by our company. The invention relates to a gripper used for handling sheet-like objects, such as components of kitchen furniture, from a stack in a manner that ensures the topmost sheet is reliably detached. At the same time, the position of the pallet can be freely located within the robot’s working area.
Today we delivered a heavy-duty CNC machining center to our customer.
We delivered a new production line to our customer. The blocks manufactured for modernization were transported as large units (please watch video / Olli Pahikainen). In this way, we enabled our customer to keep the production downtime short.
Our company has started to develop the next generation Robogrind machine (RGNG). Its first generation version was in production from 2000 to 2020.
The machine grinds the insides of chemical containers. Through grinding, remnants of chemicals and corrosion damage can be removed from the interior surface of the containers. At the same time, grinding time is significantly shorter compared to grinding by hand. The use of Robogrind can considerably extend the lifespan of these containers.
The new RGNG differs from its predecessor due to its simpler structure and more advanced automation. Its usability has also better than ever.
The budget for our project is close to 400,000 euros, supplemented by funding from the EU.

We want to thank for all the visitors and our partners in cooperation!
Our company has been granted a patent (PRH 130115) for a warehouse automation solution. It is an automatically adapting storage solution, that optimizes the used storage space based on product dimensions.
Thanks to our invention, there is no need for fixed storage locations in the warehouse, such as shelves. The invention can be utilized in the storage of end products or in the creation of a buffer stock on the production line.

Expansion of our new production facilities were completed in August. Current facilities include 1,500 square meters dedicated to manufacturing and office space. Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (the ELY Centre) supported the investment by granting funding, maximum 30 %.
Last year our company applied for four patents to protect our machine inventions and solutions. A patent is an exclusive right that provides the inventor with the right to prohibit others from utilising inventions commercially. In Finland, patents are granted by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH).
