Robotics - Robotics and Conveyors

YUSHIN, KAWAGUCHI, SHINWA - robotics, SAS Automation end-of-arm tooling, and MAC - conveyors are used for quality consistency, control and elimination of variation in our systems.

• High speed AUTOLOAD loaders on each press to prevent contamination from material handling.
  
  
• Highly repeatable Sumitomo presses perform true Statistical Process Control on the most critical of tolerances.
  
  
• Automated OGP Video Comparator with "Touch Probe" capabilities offers accurate and consistent measurements. Raw material is thoroughly inspected before production begins. Finished parts are produced to your standards and inspected with calibrated equipment.
  
  
• Metrology stations at each work cell captures critical dimensions and attributes.  Using Synergy 2000 system we have Real Time process/part data collection, Real Time reaction on the production floor and Automated History created for traceability. Our Customer is able to review actual WCPI data through secured Internet access and eliminate QC checks at receiving inspection
  
  
• Part Design complete to Tool Build is facilitated through our years of combined experience  and use of the latest technology. Elimination of potential errors and building a tool that produces parts to spec with the first shot saves our customer valuable time and money. Solidworks and Surfcam are the software programs we use in our design stage. We are able to receive files in Catia, Pro/Engineer, Unigraphics, and many general formats. Our Tool Makers have years of experience and have extensive training on the latest tooling technology. Some or our Tooling Equipment: 3 Axis CNC Ram EDM with 32 position tool changer, Clausing Colchester Lathe, Okamoto Fine Feed Surface Grinders, Dynapath 3 Axis Mill.
  
  
• Our greatest competitive advantage is knowledgeable well-trained people. Comprehensive 5S System, Just In Time Production Strategy, Principles of Leadership and Interactive Injection Molding Processing training, using an ISO 9001:2000 Certified System, establishes our manufacturing process core foundation.
