Alliance Automation is pleased to have the opportunity to support these Vantage programs.”

Equipment currently used in Vantage RAMTEC programs include robotic welders, Motoman and FANUC Industrial robots and simulators, CNC machines, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s), and hydraulic and pneumatic trainers.

“It is greatly appreciated that Alliance Automation decided to make this generous donation to our RAMTEC programs,” said Ted Verhoff, Vantage Trade and Industry Supervisor. “Being heavily involved in robotics, Alliance Automation understands that keeping up with current technology is of the utmost importance and this money will help Vantage continue to offer what our students need to be successful.”
