Richard Lessway, Founder and Chairman

Our Purpose

Arobotech Systems, Inc. was founded by Richard J. Lessway in 1982 in response to the need for improvement in workholding technology. From the beginning we have been dedicated to supplying simple, precise true-centering devices. The products we’ve developed have been awarded a number of patents with others applied for and pending. Our dedication to research and development results in continuous product improvement and innovative new technology.

Arobotech Systems Grinding AUTO REST®, Turning AUTO REST®, TRUE-GRIP® and PARA-GRIP® offer unique solutions to positioning cylindrical parts for grinding, turning and general workholding. The sliding wedge design gives all of these products strength and rigidity for extraordinary accuracy and reliability.

All of these products are equally at home in production environments or on prototype machines. The rugged construction stands up to years of use in a high volume production environment. Ease of installation and alignment make changeover fast and painless.


Our Quality

Quality is our highest priority. All components are designed, manufactured and assembled in our facility using state of the art equipment. 100% of our components are subject to detailed inspection before assembly. Our commitment to quality is evident in the final inspection each finished product receives before it ships. All critical sizes and features are measured and confirmed against engineering drawings and customer specifications. Performance is also tested and certified to ensure each steady rest meets our exacting standards before it reaches your machine.
