Upper Midwest Robotic System Integrator

The right robot for the job. Engineered to pay for itself.

CSM Robotics is the Upper Midwest's multi-brand robotic integrator. We design, build, and install turnkey automation cells using the best robot for your part and budget, backed by local, on-site support.

Robots We Integrate

Five robot platforms. One integration partner.

We are brand-agnostic by design. We specify the robot that fits your part, your cycle time, and your budget, not the one we are locked into.

CSM Robotics integration detail
Our Approach

We design the cell around your part, not around a catalog.

Most integrators sell one robot line and bend every project to fit it. We start with your part, your throughput target, and your floor, then specify the platform and tooling that actually wins on cost per part.

Mechanical design, controls, programming, and integration are all in-house. One accountable team from concept through runoff and on-site startup.

What We Build

Automation cells for the work that actually moves your line.

From single-machine tending to full end-of-line systems, we design and build turnkey robotic cells around your process.

Machine tending cell

Machine Tending

Load and unload CNCs, presses, and molders to keep them cutting around the clock.

Palletizing cell

Palletizing

End-of-line palletizing and depalletizing for bags, cases, and boxes on high-payload robots.

Robotic welding cell

Robotic Welding

Consistent, certified arc-welding cells that solve weld quality and welder shortages.

Peer AMR moving a palletized load through a facility alongside an operator

Autonomous Mobile Robots

Peer Robotics AMRs move pallets, trolleys, bins, and kits across your floor, collaboratively and with no fixed infrastructure.

Robotic assembly cell

Assembly

High-precision, high-throughput robotic assembly, fastening, and dispensing.

Packaging cell

Packaging

Case packing, pick-and-place, and end-of-line automation integrated with vision.

Vision-guided cell

Vision-Guided

Integrated vision for part location, inspection, error-proofing, and adaptive guidance.

Collaborative robot cell

Collaborative Robots

Cobot cells for flexible, operator-friendly automation in tight footprints.

Frequently asked questions

What does CSM Robotics do?

CSM Robotics is a multi-brand robotic system integrator based in Ham Lake, Minnesota, serving manufacturers across the Upper Midwest. We design, build, program, and install turnkey robotic automation cells using FANUC, Kawasaki, Universal Robots, Flexiv, and Peer Robotics AMRs, matched to your part, cycle time, and budget.

What areas does CSM Robotics serve?

We serve manufacturers throughout Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, including the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Rochester, Duluth, St. Cloud, and Mankato, plus Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Our team is based in Ham Lake, MN for fast on-site startup and support.

Which robot brands does CSM Robotics integrate?

CSM Robotics is brand-agnostic. We integrate FANUC, Kawasaki Robotics, Universal Robots, and Flexiv industrial and collaborative robots, plus Peer Robotics autonomous mobile robots. We specify the platform that fits your application instead of pushing one house brand.

What is a robotic system integrator?

A robotic system integrator designs, builds, programs, and installs a complete automation cell, including the robot, tooling, safety, controls, and software, so a manufacturer receives a working production system rather than just a robot arm. CSM Robotics handles mechanical design, controls, PLC, and robot programming in-house.

What robotic applications does CSM Robotics automate?

Machine tending, palletizing, robotic welding, material handling, assembly, packaging, machine vision, collaborative robots, and autonomous mobile robots for material movement.

Is CSM Robotics a certified robot integrator?

Yes. CSM Robotics is a Universal Robots Certified System Integrator, a FANUC Authorized System Integrator, an authorized Kawasaki Robotics dealer, and a Flexiv and Peer Robotics integration partner.

How much does a robotic automation project cost?

Cost depends on the part, cycle time, payload, and cell complexity. CSM Robotics scopes every project around cost per part and payback rather than a flat price. Send us your part and annual volume and we will tell you the robot, the cost, and the expected payback.
