You will frequently hear how great German or Japanese machines are. One of our motivations and what we take as a challenge is to prove that American engineering is the best in the world! The following projects are examples of the machines we have done in the past, whose accuracy and performance can’t be matched by any other competitor in the world:

ASSEMBLY AND BRAZING MACHINE: 

Another pride of American engineering! One of its kind. High precision assembly and brazing machine, making special aerospace tooling. It is a fully automated lights-out system. It successfully assembles parts within a 0.0002″ window (0.0001″ per side).

Machine capacity is 600 parts, enough for several hours of unattended run. Cycle time depends on the drill diameter. For a 1/8″ drill and quick disconnect adapter, the cycle time is 45 seconds per part. Currently, the machine runs at a 99.9% yield, which is exceptional.

In-line quality control is optional and can include: torque testing, height testing, runout testing.

This system can be utilized for female/male assemblies other than drill/adapter. The standard machine covers male parts up to 1/2″ and female parts with OD up to 3/4″.

When it comes to the joining process, we can offer: adhesive gluing, soldering, brazing, and TIG welding. Press fit can be quoted as an option.

SERVO PUNCHING PRESS: The application was to punch a custom profile into PE parts. The die set is run by a Servo Actuator, and all the tools are precision-made using D2 tool steel. Tools are interchangeable within 0.0001″. The clearance between punch and die is 0.0002″. The press worked without a single day of debugging. As soon as it was assembled and programmed, it just worked.

HYDRAULIC PUNCHING PRESS MACHINE TENDING CELL: This was a machine-tending robotic cell. The main obstacle was the tube feeder. What is characteristic of this machine is the quick swap-out of tubes in the press and an independent tube rotary mechanism. Features are punched onto the tube every 90 degrees.

STANDARD AUTOMATION SYSTEMS FOR THE ALL WEATHER MAT INDUSTRY

While we often design and build custom automation machines, do we do offer several standardize lines of product. One of them is automation for All Weather Mat Injection Molding industry.

Automation Systems we offer for this industry are:

  • IMM Automation – Placing overmold logo inserts in injection molding machine and taking finished mats out.
  • IMM Universal EOAT – Robot EOAT specifically designed to handle various floor mats without EOAT changeover. Fully adjustable.
  • IMM Robot Calibration System – Calibration system which automatically aligns robot coordinate systems with IMM tooling plate
  • Vehicle Logo Assembly Press – Semi-Automated Press that can accept any kind of tooling to assembly vehicle manufacturer logo on the floor mat.
  • Grommet Assembly Machine – Automated system that can automatically install locking grommets on the floor mat.
