Teqram

What Teqram does

Teqram is a Netherlands-based industrial robotics company founded in 2016 that develops AI-driven, vision-guided robotic systems for automating metal fabrication and processing tasks. The company's core technology combines 3D vision-based part recognition with autonomous control, enabling robots to detect, pick, and process parts without manual programming or teach-in. This addresses skilled labor shortages in physically demanding surface preparation work and eliminates the robotics deployment complexity that traditionally requires specialist programming.

The product portfolio centers on the "Easy-series" of robotic solutions—EasyGrinder (surface finishing and grinding), EasyShotblaster (shot blasting), EasyDebur (through-feed deburring), EasyMillDrill (CNC machining automation), EasyFlipper (part flipping and feeding), and Bin Picking—all powered by a unified vision-guided platform with modular grippers and tools. The systems handle workpieces up to 600 kg and integrate with complementary equipment from technology partners including Arku and Rösler. Teqram serves manufacturers in metal fabrication, structural steel construction, construction machinery, ropeway/cable car manufacturing, and sheet metal processing, with deployments across Europe (Netherlands, Germany, Austria) and North America (United States).

Teqram operates as a subsidiary of Tollenaar Industries, a Dutch family-owned diversified industrial group. The company generates revenue through quote-based sales of turn-key robotic systems and integration services to enterprise customers directly via field sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and each deployment is customized to the customer's specific production requirements. The company maintains a global footprint through direct enterprise sales, supported by case study-based content marketing, a LinkedIn newsletter, and industry publication coverage.

Core offering

Teqram designs, manufactures, and sells AI-driven, vision-guided robotic systems for autonomous metal fabrication tasks. Its Easy-series products (EasyGrinder, EasyShotblaster, EasyDebur, EasyMillDrill, EasyFlipper) and Bin Picking solution use 3D vision to detect, pick, and process thermally cut, plasma-cut, and laser-cut parts without manual programming or teach-in. The company delivers these as turn-key systems with installation, integration, and R&D services to metal fabrication, steel construction, and machining customers.

Product overview

Teqram offers a portfolio of Easy-series robotic solutions powered by a unified vision-guided robotics platform. The core platform provides AI-driven 3D vision and autonomous operation without programming. The product suite includes EasyGrinder (robotic grinding/surface finishing), EasyShotblaster (shot blasting), EasyDebur (automated deburring), EasyMillDrill (machining/milling automation), EasyFlipper (part flipping/feeding), and Bin Picking (intelligent parts picking). All solutions share common technology: vision-guided control, modular tooling, and an intuitive interface for fast deployment across plate and sheet metal processing, grinding, deburring, and machine loading applications.

Products and services

• EasyGrinder Autonomous robotic system for surface finishing and grinding of thermally cut steel parts. Uses 3D vision and AI to process workpieces without programming or preloaded geometry data, handling slag removal, edge rounding, and countersinking for structural steel fabrication. Targeted at steel construction and metal fabrication manufacturers.
• EasyShotblaster
• EasyDebur Automated through-feed deburring machine that reduces operator workload. Ideal for series production and demanding workpieces, including automatic flipping of parts for one-sided deburring machines. Targeted at metal fabricators running series deburring operations.
• EasyMillDrill Automated machining and milling solution that handles workpieces up to 600 kg (1,323 lbs), including automatic part flipping, optional re-feeding, and external chip and coolant blow-off to enable unmanned shifts. Designed for CNC machining operations.
• EasyFlipper Automated part flipping, feeding, and positioning system that increases throughput and process reliability for coating, assembly, and machining operations, with clean part handling and optional air blow-off; capable of handling very heavy workpieces (deployed up to 5,000 kg).
• Bin Picking Vision-guided robotic system for intelligent picking of randomly oriented parts from bins. Automatically detects and picks parts regardless of shape or material without teaching or training, suited to high part variety and unstructured presentations.
• Vision-Guided Robotics Platform Core AI-driven robotic platform that enables autonomous detection, picking, and processing of parts without manual programming or teach-in. Features vision-guided control, modular grippers and tools, and an intuitive user interface, and powers the Easy-series robotic solutions.
