About Nicholas Switalski

Robotics, Automation & Dispensing EngineerI specialize in robotics, process automation, industrial dispensing systems, process control, and 3D bead inspection. At Coherix, my work is hands-on working with the customer to get their dispensing cell modernized and stable with quality dispense programs. I have 4+ years of experience working with the Coherix 3D for inspection and process control, leading customer demonstrations, validation testing, troubleshooting, and technical training. My demos range from on-floor technicians and engineers all the way up to CEOs. I was also sent as the sole engineer to lead the three-week installation and launch of Coherix’s first global repair station. This included set up calibration stations, a lot of data analysis, and training of my Chinese colleagues on the processes.My technical background includes working with a wide range of dispensing equipment like Graco, Nordson, Sames, SCA, Designetics, Binks, Ronice, and multiple robotic platforms such as Kawasaki, Yaskawa, Fanuc, ABB, and gantry systems.I also enjoy teaching and mentoring. I’ve instructed senior mechanical engineering students at Eastern Michigan University on robotics and dispensing fundamentals as part of their capstone project.Technical Skills:• Robotics: Fanuc, Kawasaki, Yaskawa, ABB, Kuka, Gantries• Dispensing: Graco, Nordson, Sames, SCA, Durr, Designetics, Binks, Ronice• 3D Machine Vision & Process Control (Coherix 3D)• Automation Integration, Troubleshooting & Process Optimization• Technical Training & Documentation
