Streamlining the Production Process with Phillips Opto

Discover how hands-on training, advanced automation tools, and collaboration between robotics and machining labs prepare students for workforce success.

 Modern manufacturing demands a skilled workforce fluent in both robotics and machining—yet many schools teach these disciplines in silos. At Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, a collaborative approach is bridging that gap, equipping students with the real-world skills they need to succeed.

Student Evelyn Lyons-McGuire, guided by Phillips Applications Trainer Joey Sommers, used a Haas DS-30 lathe and Universal Robot on a VersaBuilt system to save a week of production time. This hands-on experience taught her to integrate robotics with machining and prepared her for real-world manufacturing challenges.
