Built to Fit Your Parts: 4-Post Frame Design

The ServoStaker is engineered around a rigid 4-post frame system, so the machine adapts to your application instead of the other way around. We customize the width, length, and height to fit your parts, tooling, and production line.

No column means no throat depth limits. Oversized panels, deep fixtures, tall assemblies, inline automation cells – if it fits your process, we build the frame around it.
