Design it. Build it. Automate it.

RHG Integration designs and builds custom machines, tooling, and fixtures for manufacturers — from new equipment builds to bringing an existing machine up to modern automation standards, without the cost of a full replacement when a fix is the smarter call.

What we do

Four ways we work with you

From a single fixture to a full new machine build — or a retrofit — we scope, design, and build to what your line actually needs.

01

Design & Fabrication

Concept through built part — fixtures, dunnage, material handling carts, and process equipment engineered and fabricated in-house, drawings you can hand straight to your floor.

02

Tooling & Fixture Design

Purpose-built tooling and fixturing for forming, welding, and assembly operations, designed around how your process actually runs — not a catalog part that's close enough. That includes picking the right alloy and coating for the job, from common tool steels like 4140, P20, A2, D2, H13, and S7 to more exotic options like powder metallurgy and CPM alloys.

New Machine & Automation Builds

From a blank sheet to a running station — we design and build new automated equipment when that's genuinely the right call for the job.

Equipment Upgrades & Retrofits

Bringing older machines up to modern automation standards — new controls, sensors, and safety systems — without the cost of a full replacement, when a fix is the smarter move.

A few recent projects

Real jobs, from a retrofit off the shop floor to material handling built from scratch.

Custom automation build
Machine Automation

Custom electric press design

5 tons of press force in a 750ms cycle — a spec off-the-shelf presses from major manufacturers can't hit. Not possible with a standard ballscrew; very possible with custom automation and a clever mechanism.

AfterModernized servo automation after retrofit
Equipment Upgrade

Custom gearbox, retired

The expensive custom mechanical gearbox is gone — replaced with a flexible servo indexer at a fraction of the cost, on a short lead time, and open to rethinking how the machine runs.

Folding returnable dunnage rack CAD design
Design

Folding returnable dunnage

Fold-down rack design built to protect part quality and cut return-freight volume.

Electric lift and tilt assembly cart CAD design
Design

Lift & tilt assembly cart

Powered lift-and-tilt cart designed to bring parts to an ergonomic working angle at the line.

Quad steer material handling cart CAD design
Design

Quad-steer material cart

Four-wheel steer cart designed for tight-aisle maneuverability on the shop floor.

How it works

From problem to installed part

No account managers or hand-offs between departments.

Consult

We walk your process or inspect the machine to understand the real constraint.

Design

We model the solution in CAD, or spec the controls package, and review it with you first.

Build / Retrofit

We fabricate in-house or upgrade the equipment you already own.

Deliver

Installed and fit-checked on-site — regional turnaround.

Why RHG Integration

Built by engineers who've worked the floor.

RHG Integration was started by manufacturing engineers who care more about the right solution than the biggest invoice. We've all worked in plants ourselves, so we understand the operational problems our equipment has to solve. Our engineers bring experience across agriculture, electronics, automotive, defense, and oil & gas. Sometimes the right answer is a new machine, designed and built from a blank sheet. Just as often it's fixing what you already have — because "buy new" can mean throwing away a proven process just because it's outgrown its original mechanical adjustments or its spares have gotten hard to source.

Tell us what you need built.

Send over your prints, a photo of the part, or just a description of the problem — we'll follow up to scope it properly.
