Affordable Automation
At ACS, we design custom machinery for both individual work
cells and larger scale assembly lines. The machines pictured here
show recent projects in several different industries.
Work Stations
The XYZ Table uses a computer program to apply adhesive
to windows for the RV industry. The Pump Vane Assembly System
uses magazines to insert 12 vanes into a common rotor. The
lattice glue machine was designed to reduce manual labor
for a plastic lattice manufacturer. This machine places
a precise amount of heated glue at each intersection of
plastic lattice strips.
Assembly Lines
The Poppet Valve Machine receives a poppet valve from the
operator and performs torque and part inspection operations
on the valve. Rejected valves are automatically discarded
and compliant valves are engraved with a part number and
placed in a bin. The Material Handling System is used to
cut, lift, and convey strips of auto door trim to the next
part of the assembly process. The Hose Cutter cuts a piece
of wire overbraided teflon hose to a precise length, then
inserts the hose through two collars and places the intermediate
assembly on one of two conveyor belts.
