Vertical drilling and reaming of Outher Rear Spar A380

Design a tool specifically for Necking-in and End Closing of Steel and Aluminum Tubing. Creating an automated foundation that can handle both the challenges of extreme environmental conditions and work reliably in many varied work sites and conditions around the world.

Ultraseal International, manufacture Impregnation Process lines to ensure minimal scrap of cast products due to porosity problems. They needed to automate the handling of large baskets of metal components through one of its Impregnation Process lines, comprising various process tanks. The end user site was very limited in floor space and the roof height was low, therefore limiting the type of automation that could be used. The Impregnation process involved the use of Nitric Read more ...

The robot arm loads the press with sometimes hot rawlings.
After the pressing procedure, the formed parts are removed from the press and palletized.

To automatically rack stamped body panels of both Class “A” and Class “B” surfaces. The panels are produced at speeds up to 14 SPM and must be loaded into shipping racks for movement to assembly plants. This presented ergonomic and production challenges with manual operation as the size and weight of the parts makes it difficult for operators handling and racking them. Some of the parts get rotated during the racking process. To keep within production requirements, there Read more ...

Manufacturer focusing on router trimming mud flaps for the automotive/truck aftermarket required ability to produce larger parts and increase production. Serving a broad range of industries, they also work with wood and foam and wanted the capability to mill these and other materials via an automated robotic system.

Large parts that require manual racking have historically been the bottleneck on large press lines. So much so, they can actually dictate the speed by which production is run. The customer had a major problem with material handling congestion and ergonomic issues for the operators as they picked up parts from flat conveyor surfaces. The first goal of this program was to allow parts to be processed at more stations, while allowing fork truck traffic to flow smoothly. This was Read more ...

A major manufacturer of ice cream cones was planning a plant expansion, including the addition of a large warehouse space and wished to centrally build homogeneous pallets of products received at random from multiple production line ovens in this new space.

They had 8 manual palletizing points throughout the plant located near the main cone production and packaging areas and wanted to automatically feed all cased products from those multiple areas via conveyor to Read more ...

Slide for universal welding robot application.

Solve Part Transfer & Re-orientation of high value, precision product in a laminar flow (Clean Room Class 100) environment. Specification requires low volumetric profile (least added volume of air to filter in process chamber), with the additional cleanliness specification requiring the lowest possible potential for contaminating process tanks.

Loading a blast furnace and stacking ceramic pipes along a travel length of approx. 23 m.
Workpiece weight approx. 70 kg
Workpiece dimensions approx. Ø 250 x 1800 mm

Loading a blast furnace and stacking ceramic pipes over a travel distance of approx. 20 m. The extremely tight space does not permit a solution with a floor-based travel axis, which was possible with the two previously supplied sister systems.
Workpiece weight approx. 70 kg
Workpiece dimensions approx. Ø 250 x 1800 mm

Automate coating processes of large aero structure sub-assembly utilizing “C.A.O.T.S” (Commercially Available Off The Shelf) technologies.
