What PushCorp Inc does

PushCorp Inc is a Garland, Texas-based manufacturer of robotic end-of-arm tooling for industrial material removal applications, founded in 1993 and operating as a brand under WALTER Surface Technologies. The company's core technology combines two proprietary building blocks: active and passive force compliance devices (AFD Series) that maintain constant contact force independent of the robot arm by controlling only the mass on a sliding carriage, and liquid-cooled, brushless, permanent-magnet closed-loop servo spindle motors (STC Series) designed for 100% duty cycle operation across a power range of 3.8kW to 11.2kW. These components are packaged and sold as individual units, as application-focused pre-engineered kits under the XSeries platform (GrindX for grinding, SandX for sanding, FinishX for finishing), and as integrated solutions with cobot-ready validation for Universal Robots UR and FANUC CRX platforms. Approximately 95% of components are machined in-house at the Garland facility using CNC and precision-measuring equipment, supplemented by a Michigan office and an exclusive distribution agreement with ASIS GmbH for Germany and Austria signed in October 2025.

Core offering

PushCorp designs and manufactures robotic end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) for automated material removal, combining proprietary active and passive force compliance devices with liquid-cooled servo spindle motors. Its offerings span individual force compliance devices and servo spindles as well as pre-engineered application packages (XSeries: GrindX, SandX, FinishX) targeting robotic grinding, sanding, polishing, deburring, and weld removal applications for industrial manufacturers and system integrators. Approximately 95% of components are machined in-house at its Garland, Texas facility.

Product overview

PushCorp Inc offers a comprehensive portfolio of robotic tooling solutions for material removal applications. The core product line includes servo spindles (STC series) and force compliance devices (AFD series) that form the foundation of their end-of-arm tooling systems. These are complemented by the XSeries pre-configured tooling platform featuring specialized solutions: GrindX™ for grinding, SandX™ for sanding, and FinishX™ for finishing applications. Additional products include robotic belt sanders (RBS372), automated paper changers (RPC100), weld removal equipment, pneumatic tools, and floor-standing backstand equipment. The company also provides accessories including high-flex robot cables and rotary interfaces. All products are designed for industrial robotic integration, primarily with collaborative robots from Universal Robots and FANUC, targeting manufacturers automating grinding, sanding, deburring, polishing, and weld removal processes.
