Temple Allen Industries (TAI) designs and manufactures Smart Automation and 100% pneumatic EMMA (Easily Manipulated Mechanical Arm) and SAM (Standup Abrading Machine) for a variety of surface preparation tasks (sanding, grinding, polishing, cleaning). We routinely collaborate with clients to solve challenges related to ergonomics, health & safety, and productivity. Our EMMA and SAM technologies wield sanding tools that are commonly utilized in industry - but we make it so that the artisan does not have to hold onto the sander, eliminating vibration exposure, high grip forces, poor operational postures, and fatigue. We also dramatically reduce exposure to toxic dust. Customers have typically found that our systems pay for themselves in less than nine months, and require minimal training and maintenance. Furthermore, eliminating repetitive-motion and vibration-induced injuries, we increase employee morale while decreasing workers compensation costs.
