Testimonials

Rated 5 out of 5
We are in the business of precision cutting tools and till 2020, we were importing all automations from Sweden. In 2021, we started local automation. Gripper is a main part of automation and we struggled a lot to develop the same as per our needs. VFM Automation and Machine Tools contributed to improving our existing part gripping system by identifying the root causes of earlier issues and developing a reliable solution. The new system addressed old teething problems, supported import substitution, and improved overall usability. The same solution was later successfully deployed horizontally. Their practical approach, technical understanding, and focus on long-term reliability made them a dependable engineering partner for this development.

"We recently worked with VFM for the automation of core testing equipment and the installation of high-end safety fencing in the cold rolling shop, and their performance was exceptional. Under the leadership of their founder, Mr. Saraf, the VFM team delivered heavy-duty perimeter fencing that is rugged, impact-resistant, and perfectly suited to secure our high-heat robotic zones. Additionally, their advanced automation systems integrated flawlessly with our testing equipment, leading to an immediate improvement in our plant safety metrics. Mr. Saraf and his engineering team demonstrated outstanding technical expertise, adapting seamlessly to the harsh steel mill environment and completing the installation within our strict downtime deadline. Their combination of top-tier machinery and responsive, professional service makes VFM our premier choice for heavy industry projects. "
