Who we are
Robotics, metrology and tooling. Working together.
True Position Robotics was formed in 2018 by Chartered Engineer Roger Holden. We specialise in high-accuracy robot metrology and end-of-arm tooling, with a focus on aerospace and high-value manufacturing.
Our work brings measurement and robot motion together with the tools that carry out the process. That includes positioning the robot, drilling and countersinking, and measuring geometry during and after manufacture.
Based in Nottingham, our team draws on experience across aerospace and automotive applications, from simulation and programming to calibration, guidance and inspection.

What we do
Position. Drill. Inspect.
Three complementary technologies support the manufacturing process, with simulation and programming expertise to help connect them.
Adaptive Robot Control
Use optical metrology and adaptive control to guide robot positioning across the working volume.
Measurement & validation
Bring geometric inspection into the build, from in-process measurement to final validation and reporting.
Our ambition
More accurate processes. Less avoidable waste.
We aim to help manufacturers reduce scrap, rework and wasted effort by improving how robots are positioned and how parts are measured.
Our guidance approach uses measurement and adaptive control to support accurate positioning before the manufacturing operation begins.
Make efficient use of the system.
TPR’s approach also includes using smaller, lower-powered robots where the application allows, supporting more efficient manufacturing.
We see these practical engineering choices as part of the wider effort towards lower-impact aerospace production.
The expertise behind the technology
Experience across the whole robotic process.
Our team’s background spans advanced robotics in aerospace, automotive and other engineering sectors. That breadth helps us consider how the robot, tooling, measurement and software work together.
Simulation & offline programming
Experience with Robcad, Delmia and Process Simulate, and programming across platforms including ABB, FANUC, KUKA and Siemens 840D.
Robot metrology & calibration
Expertise in robot calibration and optical metrology, supporting the relationship between programmed position and measured performance.
Guidance & process tooling
Experience spanning aerospace drilling and fastening, plus automotive applications such as glazing, sealing, welding, riveting and handling.
Geometric inspection
3D measurement and validation experience across multiple engineering sectors, connecting process requirements with inspection.
