Used Ranger Automation Systems Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Ranger Automation Systems, Inc. was founded in 1988 in Massachusetts, opening its doors with the original RT series of parts-removal robots for plastics processors. Over the decades the company grew its product line while holding to its core commitment to American manufacturing, and today operates out of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, with thousands of proven robot installations across North America. The company proudly manufactures every robot that bears its name in the United States.

Ranger Automation's flagship lines are the RT and RTF series robots, which span the Performance Series and Value Series product families. Performance Series robots feature full servo motion control on the X, Y, and Z axes with a telescoping vertical arm and TeachPendant touchscreen controller, serving presses from 200 to 9,000 tons. Value Series robots offer servo or pneumatic actuation with a single-stage vertical arm and the same TeachPendant controller, covering machines from 30 to 1,000 tons. The RTF designation adds servo wrist axes — four-axis (S4) and five-axis (S5) configurations — for demanding part extraction, insert-loading, and over-molding tasks. Ranger also produces the SA Series of single and double-arm side-entry robots for low-overhead environments such as clean rooms and vertical-clamp machines.

Ranger Automation robots are used primarily by plastics processors across injection molding, blow molding, structural-foam molding, and thermoforming. End markets served include automotive components, consumer packaging, medical device manufacturing, and industrial parts production. The company also supplies in-mold labeling automation, insert-loading workcells, material-handling and palletizing systems, and complete turnkey workcells with safety guarding.

Buyers seeking used Ranger Automation Systems robots on the secondary market are drawn to the brand's reputation for rugged, straightforward mechanical construction and readily available spare parts and EOAT components. Because Ranger manufactures domestically and has supported its RT and RTF platforms for decades, replacement parts, controllers, and technical service remain accessible long after original purchase. The combination of proven servo performance, a wide tonnage range, and strong resale value makes used Ranger robots a practical choice for plastics processors looking to automate or expand capacity without the cost of new equipment.
