Keywords: Surface finishing, Quality

Established in 1993, PushCorp, Inc. builds and markets force control tooling and accessories for automated systems. With state-of-the-art robotic and surface finishing equipment, PushCorp, Inc. is able to use customers' actual parts to prove process validity and to determine how automated surface finishing can increase quality while lowering costs. Some of the sections of this Web site are currently under construction but it should be worth a visit when it has been completed. It will contain information and drawing files on their products, including force control tools, controllers and process equipment, all available online in AutoCAD .DWG and .DXF file format. Technical papers, success stories and contact information will also be available.
