Services
Assembly Stations and Systems:
An assembly station can be as simple or complex as required. We make single
operation, manually loaded work stations which provide services like automated
screw driving, part heat staking, ultrasonic welding, pressing, testing, etc.
These individual stations are covered in more detail under Individual
Ergonomic Work Stations: A typical
assembly station or cell may include: automated parts feeders, parts pick
and 
place
systems, parts identification and orientation stations, and various mechanical
assembly operations aspreviously listed above. The system may be asynchronous
or synchronous as required to achieve the desired production rates, and or
variations. Many of our system utilize industrial indexing dial tables with
multiple work stations other work cells may utilize custom pallet conveyor
systems, or robotic part handling and manipulation. Whatever your requirement
we have the experience needed to successfully implement a solution for your
application.
Barcode Inspection, Printing and Placing Systems:
We have experience in a wide variety of BARCODE specific applications, from
simple barcode print and apply stations to the more complex 2D & 3D systems
with application verification and custom development 
of
unique systems for manufacturing traceability. Also included in this category
are newer types of information and data devices such as RF Tags and reader
systems both static and programmable. We have experience in the less common
applications of ultraviolet coding for inconspicuousness, one time use or
for security purposes.
Small Parts Conveying Systems:
We specialize in handling of smaller parts which can be handled on 12"
X 12" pallets or smaller, even parts which can be handled directly on
the conveying system without pallets. These types of systems are widely used
for parts transport, feeding and assembly operations which require access
from both sides and or top and bottom of the products. Also system like this
can handle a wide variety of in plant obstacles like columns, elevations changes,
narrow work areas, and multi level work areas.
Individual Ergonomic Work Stations:
These individual stations can be as simple or complex as required. We make
single operation, manually loaded work stations which provide services like
automated screw driving, part heat staking, ultrasonic welding, pressing,
testing, etc. Typically these systems will be mounted to height adjustable,
ergonomic, work stations. The purpose of a station like this may be to accommodate
a wide variety of operator requirements: sitting / standing operations, products
which require human dexterity to handle or inspect, or in situations where
production does not require full automation, but mechanical fixturing or assistance
for the operator to complete a task. A typical example of an ergonomic work
station could be a simple two part assembly which requires pressing of the
two components, the operator could load to components into parts fixtures
and then initiate an automated pressing operation, which completes the assembly
and verifies correct press force and position are achieved.
Industrial Machine Vision Systems:
Machine vision systems are rapidly growing in industrial applications with
the newly available cost effective
cameras and accessories for this market. We have experience with many of the
available systems on the market today. The basic technology revolves around
acquiring an image of a desired feature or product with the use of a CCD array.
Once the image is acquired, tools are applied to the image to inspect for
specific criteria as developed by the integrator and customer. Typical uses
for industrial vision may includebarcode reading and verification (all types
of codes), part measurement, surface defects detection, presence or absence
of a part or feature, reading and/or verifying of printed text or images,
sorting and/or orientation of parts and robotic guidance systems. Also available
with today's rapidly changing technology are color CCD's and even new CMOS
systems, which are becoming faster and more cost effective every day. Let
us show you the possibilities of using vision in your environment.
Robotic Work Stations:
Modern robots are capable of very fast and accurate motions and have the ability
to complete very complex tasks, especially when combined with other available
automation tools like Machine Vision, Automated Screw drivers and other similar
devices. A robotic station is capable of retrieving its own parts, tooling
and processing them, and then loading completed units into packaging or trays
for further processing. A station like this may require little or no operator
intervention providing hours of uninterrupted productivity. Unlike robots
of the past, these new robots are small and cost effective to implement and
use. We will be happy to set up a demonstration for your application.
Inspection and Testing Stations:
With the high cost of achieving and maintaining quality in the work place
today, these systems are indispensable. We can provide you with a wide variety
of inspection and testing stations for your products. Whether you require
online 100% testing of parts or lot sampling we can help. We can build test
cells to provide durability testing to ANSI standards or both destructive
and non destructive testing cells as required. We have experience with Helium
Leak testing, pressure decay testing, flow testing, continuity Testing, Vision
Inspection, Eddy Current Testing and more. Tell us about your product and
its testing requirements maybe we can help you too!
