In the rapidly evolving field of automotive manufacturing, the judicious implementation of precision indexing conveyors holds the potential to revolutionize assembly processes by optimizing efficiency, precision, and consistency.
The implementation of Motion Index Drives Precision Link Conveyors in automated medical device manufacturing lines offers exceptional positioning accuracy, consistent and reliable performance, high-speed and efficient operation, seamless integration with automation systems, and versatility in handling diverse assembly processes.
BLOOMFIELD, CT—mk North America Inc. has introduced an online tool, the Conveyor Product Finder, that makes it easy for engineers to find, specify and purchase conveyors for their applications.
Selecting a conveyor for an automation project is certainly not a “one-size-fits-all” scenario. Automation applications are incredibly diverse, and the options and features available on conveyors reflect that. Some industries have specific health and safety requirements, while others are less restrictive. Some will need a certain feature for the automation application to work, while others are more flexible.
Middlesex provides conveyor technology solutions in instrument assembly, medical device assembly, injection nozzle assembly in automotive, and in numerous critical robotic assembly stations.
Despite its advanced capabilities, automation equipment used on assembly lines remains susceptible to failure. This presents manufacturers with the ongoing challenge of preventing unplanned equipment downtime, which is always disruptive and costly.
Saving a penny per part or a millisecond of cycle time might not matter to some manufacturers. But machine builder Eclipse Automation knows that even small gains can offer huge competitive advantages for its customers. Greater flexibility and uptime through predictive maintenance are also crucial.
