Palletized Assembly Line

This palletized line has several stations with the ability to rotate the part for easier operator access. Empty pallets automatically return to the start of the line on the lower conveyor. It is able to run 2 different part versions because pallets that are not in use can be moved to the storage tier of the conveyor.

Universal Machine Base with Interchangeable Tool Packs

These example universal bases accept several different tool packs which perform various operations on different parts. They are also set up for pass-through operation with operator access from both sides of the machine.

Ergo-Tilt Machine

The lower tool platen tilts toward the operator for ergonomic loading and unloading of large parts. During the machine cycle, the platen tilts to horizontal.

Rotary Dial with Robotic Load and Auto Screwdriving

This machine uses a rotary indexer to move the parts through each station. It loads several small LED boards onto the parts with a robot and automatically drives screws. It also performs nanoSTAKE and quality inspections.

Fully Automated Hot Plate Welder

Parts come into this welder automatically. Upper parts are loaded by a robot and lower parts are introduced by a conveyor. Then a mechanism lifts and locates the lower part for consistency. After welding, parts are automatically ejected for packing. With minimal changeover, 14 different part versions run through this machine.

Rate: Over 300 parts per hour

Fully Automated Assembly, Weld, Engrave, and Leak Test

Parts are automatically fed in on stacks of trays which allows operators to walk away for over an hour. Then the machine handles 6 parts at a time performing several operations: installing components, welding, engraving, and leak testing.

Rate: Over 1300 parts per hour

Fully Automated from Molding to Pack & Ship

The parts in this cell are never touched by an operator. They are automatically loaded from the molding machine, cooled, welded, tested, and engraved. Then the parts are automatically packaged and sent out on automated guided vehicles (AGV) for shipment. Additionally, for serviceability, each primary machine can be removed from the cell and operated manually while the automated cell continues to run.
