Automation for Surface Treatment Systems

Many customers rely on us to automate plasma and corona treatment systems. We integrate single or multiple treatment heads, dual conveyors for top and bottom surfaces, and automated part presentation for consistent exposure. These systems help packaging, plastics, medical manufacturers, and more achieve reliable adhesion and coating performance.

The system above corona treats 2 laboratory flasks at a time. Then the indexing table revolves for the treatment of 2 more. A robot quickly supplies and removes the flasks for treatment and packing all within a few seconds.


3DT’s team will analyze your manufacturing, material handling, shipping, or inspection lines and work with you to determine areas of improvement. Then, we’ll design, test, and install product handling and automation technology to improve your production and profitability. 

Built Around Your Production Needs

No two manufacturing lines are the same. We build systems based on your part size, material, speed, available floor space, and production goals. Prototyping and testing help confirm performance and capability.

Support, Maintenance, and Long-Term Service

After installation, we continue supporting you with training, spare parts, remote assistance, and maintenance programs. You stay productive, and your equipment stays reliable year after year.

Our Strengths: Collaboration, Innovation,
& Sophisticated Automation Solutions

From concept, to schematic, to completed project - 3DT is your partner.

Automation Technology and Capabilities

As an automation supplier, we offer a wide range of components and process technologies:

  • Robotics and Motion: From small collaborative robots to 6-axis systems, we help automate part placement, assembly, and process actions with precision and repeatable motion.
  • Conveyors and Material Flow: 3DT is also a product handling supplier offering conveyor systems, feeders, part guides, and transfer devices that move products efficiently between stages.
  • Vision and Smart Sensors: Machine vision verifies position and quality. Sensors monitor every step so products stay on track.
  • Controls Integration: We program Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and other leading PLC/HMI platforms. Your team gets intuitive controls and simple troubleshooting tools.

Every element works together as a connected solution.

Why Automate Production?

Automation makes work easier. It supports your team instead of replacing it. By automating repetitive or high-volume steps, you gain:

  • Increased output and 24/7 production
  • Faster throughput and reduced bottlenecks
  • Better consistency in quality
  • Less scrap and fewer process errors
  • Lower operating costs over the machine’s lifetime
  • Reliable performance even during staffing shortages

We help you focus on growth while automation handles the routine tasks. Contact us today and let 3DT increase your productivity and profitability.

Your Source for Turnkey Manufacturing Systems

We manage the full process so you don’t have to juggle multiple suppliers. 3DT acts as a single partner that delivers turnkey manufacturing solutions built around your product and workflow. From concept and engineering to installation and production startup, we keep communication clear and schedules on track.

You get one partner, one timeline, one reliable result.
