When we seek Partners, we have some qualifiers. They must:

- Solve an automation or manufacturing challenge
- Offer solid, sturdy technical equipment 
- Have excellent customer service and offer warranties
- Be user friendly and quick to install

With Robotiq, we were impressed in all these areas. 

Most recently, we've appreciated their efforts on the customer education front. In these videos, Robotiq shares how to get started with their Gripper. It's well worth a few minutes to watch these, especially if you're considering acquiring one. These will show you how easy it can be to set the gripper up, then program it to your specifications.
