Pivot Robotics

Pivot Robotics builds vision guided robotic cells for industrial finishing and inspection, aimed at foundries and other metal part manufacturers. Its camera driven perception system lets a cell adapt to variation between parts instead of following a fixed toolpath, which the company presents as an answer to retiring skilled grinders and to the long programming time of traditional fixed automation. The offering has two product areas. Part processing covers grinding, cutting, sanding, machining and spraying, with the cell finishing parts end to end under the control of a camera based system. Part inspection uses computer vision to measure each part and run defect detection and gauging on the same perception stack. The company states that cells are in production at foundries in North America, delivering about 1 mm tolerance on cast iron components, and that adding a new part does not require extensive programming or fixed toolpaths. Industries named include metalcasting and foundries, and aerospace and defense, where the approach extends to aluminum, titanium and composite structures with multi axis finishing and traceable quality data. Pivot Robotics sells to manufacturers through demonstrations and sales conversations. The site publishes no prices, and the listed call to action is to schedule a demo or talk to the team.
