Lincoln Electric Automation - Columbus
US robotic systems integrator for die casting, foundry & forging; formerly Rimrock Corp (est. 1956), acquired by Lincoln Electric in 2015.
Lincoln Electric Automation – Columbus, operating under the legacy brand Rimrock Corporation, is a Columbus, Ohio-based industrial automation subsidiary of Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. The company traces its origins to 1956, when Franz Stone founded Rimrock as a supplier of spray equipment to foundries, rubber molders, and extruders. In August 2015, Lincoln Electric acquired Rimrock Holdings Corporation and consolidated it into the Lincoln Electric Automation (LEA) business unit, integrating its capabilities alongside other LEA facilities across North America.
Operating from a campus at 1700 Jetway Blvd, Columbus, Ohio 43219, the company designs, manufactures, and installs turnkey robotic systems and mechanized automation equipment primarily for the die casting, foundry, and forging industries. Its product portfolio under the Rimrock brand includes mechanized and robotic ladles (two-axis, sixth-axis, and seventh-axis variants), reciprocators, spray atomizers, spray wands, extractors, and custom finishing equipment. These products improve process consistency, reduce cycle times, and enhance worker safety in high-temperature metal-casting environments.
As an RIA (Robotic Industries Association) Certified Integrator, Lincoln Electric Automation – Columbus is proficient in integrating robotic platforms from ABB, FANUC, and Yaskawa Motoman. The company delivers complete robotic cell design, engineering, fabrication, installation, and ongoing field service. Over its history, the company and its parent LEA group have collectively deployed more than 8,500 robotic systems worldwide.
The company is a member of A3 (Association for Advancing Automation) and serves manufacturers globally. It operates under the broader Lincoln Electric Automation brand, which consolidates multiple specialized automation sites and provides customers with access to a wider range of automation solutions in welding, material handling, and industrial process automation.
