CUT
Laser Automation
Storage towers, automated load/unload, robotic denesting and sorting, and AMR material flow — integrated onto the laser you already own.

Sheet-metal process automation · Baltimore, MD
The way to sheet metal automation.
Cut. Bend. Deburr. Inspect. Automatically.
DeGama Automation engineers robotic material flow around the machines you already run. We integrate storage, tending, deburring, and inspection into one controlled cell — brand-agnostic and retrofit-first, built for the way your shop actually moves metal.
Capabilities
One Continuous Flow
We automate each step of sheet-metal processing — and, just as importantly, the movement of material between them.
DEBURR
Robotic Deburring
FANUC robots running deburring and edge-finishing tools to take burrs and sharp edges off cut parts — consistently, part after part.
Explore →BEND
Press-Brake Automation
Robotic tending that turns an attended brake into a lights-out bending cell, retrofit to almost any machine you run today.
Explore →INSPECT
Automated Inspection
Cognex vision that checks sheets and finished parts for defects and dimensional accuracy, in line and without slowing the cell.

AMR Transport
The material never stops moving.
Between every station, autonomous mobile robots carry the work — lifting cut blanks off the laser, delivering them to the press brake, then ferrying finished parts on to deburring, inspection, and storage before returning to begin again. No forklifts, no manual staging, no parts stranded on a cart waiting for a free set of hands. The AMRs stitch the four stations into one continuous loop, so throughput is governed by the machines — not by how quickly someone can move material between them.
Why DeGama
Built around the machines you already run.
Most automation is sold to replace your equipment. We do the opposite: we design the storage, robotics, and material flow that wrap around your existing lasers, brakes, and machines — whatever brand they are.
We build on FANUC robotics · Otto autonomous mobile robots · Rockwell controls & FactoryTalk Optix · Cognex vision
Retrofit-first
We automate your installed base — the bare machine you bought before automation made sense is exactly where we add the most value.
Brand-agnostic
Mixed-brand shop? No single OEM tower spans your floor. Our cells do.
Engineered in-house
We design, program, and integrate ourselves — mechanical, controls, robotics, and vision under one roof.
How we work
A gated process, not a guess.
Every project runs through a defined, phase-based methodology — from on-site discovery to lifecycle support — with clear deliverables and a customer sign-off at every gate. You always know what's done, what's next, and what you're approving.
Discovery
On-site assessment of the machine, interface, parts, and floor.
Engineering
Concept, feasibility, and build-ready design.
Build & FAT
Off-site build and factory acceptance before you lose a shift.
Commissioning
Install, integrate, and validate on your floor.
Training
Operators and maintenance, fully handed over.
Lifecycle
Support, optimization, and new-part programming.
In-house
The disciplines a turnkey cell takes — on one team.
An automated cell is mechanical design, controls, robotics, vision, and field service working as one. We keep all of it in-house, so the people who design your cell are the people who program and commission it.
Mechanical & cell design
Autodesk Inventor — tooling, EOAT, layouts.
Controls engineering
Rockwell Automation & FactoryTalk Optix.
Robotics & vision
FANUC programming and Cognex inspection.
AMR integration
Otto fleet orchestration and material flow.
Field commissioning
Install, tuning, and safety validation.
Project engineering
Gated delivery from quote to handover.
