How Balanced Body uses SandRob™ to Make Premium Pilates Equipment at Scale
The Challenge
Growth was accelerating but their finishing workflow wasn’t. The struggle became finding a solution that could scale with them, while maintaining the quality that customers have come to know.
The Turning Point
What changed everything was seeing SandRob™ handle the movements that define craftsmanship:
Wrist-action blending on radii
Adaptive pressure control on flat and curved surfaces
Consistent transitions without burning edges
Touch-probe locating for variable part dimensions
“When I saw the robot doing the wrist action in the software, that’s when I was convinced it could replicate what a skilled operator does.”
Harbir Singh, Engineering Manager at Balanced Body
SandRob™ now handles the demanding sanding work on Balanced Body’s wood frames, blending radii and smoothing transitions with consistent pressure. Operators perform the ergonomic final touch. Watch how SandRob™ handles the placement and sanding on Pilates equipment:

How Children’s O&P Kept Their Independence and Patient-First Mission with ORTIS™
Children’s O&P was on a mission to remain a small, patient-focused, independent practice but rising demand was taxing on their team of six. Each brace was being hand cast in plaster and took 2–3 hours. Staff often worked late, enduring cracked hands, ruined clothes, and stressful turnaround times. They needed to move away from hand cast plaster and embrace automation to keep up.
Why ORTIS™ Worked for Children’s O&P:
Cleaner Work Space:
The foam carving process is cleaner, lighter, and more precise, producing molds that fit consistently.
Streamlined Production:
With ORTIS™ their workflow now runs from scan to carve to finished mold in about 45 minutes. Previous hand casting plaster would take 2-3 hours to dry before moving on to the next steps of production.
Reliable Support:
Fast, responsive service that keeps production moving.
“Support has been phenomenal — exceptional, exceptional, exceptional.”
Brendan Rooney, President at Children’s O&P
The Breakthrough:
With the same team, they were able to triple their outputs.Automation doesn’t have to mean getting bigger. With ORTIS™, Children’s O&P transformed their workflow without compromising their mission of patient-focused production.

When Customers Asked for More, ISO Delivered, with the Support of ORTIS™
ISO Technologies was already a leader in foam profile fabrication. But when customers started asking for more complex shapes, they needed a way to say yes without overhauling their operations. With ORTIS™ by Roboticom, ISO added 7-axis flexibility to tackle the intricate geometries that used to be outsourced. Now, they create both the raw foam and the finished shape all in-house.
Why ORTIS™ Worked for ISO:
7-Axis Reach:
Access hard-to-machine angles and undercuts with precision
Open Integration:
Use your own materials, scanners, and software—no lock-in
Reliable Support:
Fast, responsive service that keeps production moving
“The first time we could finally say yes to a complex customer request—that was a big deal.”
Patrick Benton, ISO Technologies
Outcome:
ISO captured more of the value chain, retained critical customers, and stayed independent—without adding shifts, square footage, or complexity.
