Solutions

Extol's 'Solutions' group designs and manufactures custom assembly equipment and automated systems for a variety of industries.

As one can imagine, our location in West Michigan positions us squarely in the automotive supplier region. As a result, we have naturally acquired in-depth capabilities pertaining to automotive type applications...especially 'interior trim', lighting, air-induction, and reservoir assemblies.

West Michigan is also home to a prominent list of world-class office furniture makers. The related applications have challenged us over the years in a creative manner driving home our slogan of 'Solutions in Automation'. With projects as diverse as sheet metal notching and forming to automatic fabric 'edge-folding' and bonding, by necessity our abilities have become refined and well rounded.

With a magnetic retention detail and an embedded sensor to detect clip presence this small modular assembly provides a clever solution to a stubborn assembly challenge.
