SPECIAL PRECISION FORMING MACHINE

Special designed machine used to form high precision parts. Unit was transported to our facility where new controls, programming Siemens PLC and controls were installed and tested. Job completed ahead of schedule saving customer valuable production time, money and eliminated safety issues involved in hand forming parts.

CONVEYOR AUTOMATION

Customer was having safety issues on their conveyor line due to operator pushing 800lb. units. The refrigerators would enter the test area and operator would manually push the unit to the test cell, test and then manually push unit back on the exit Conveyor. The picture on the right shows the conveyor after modifications. The new process automatically brings unit to testing area. The operator selects (by pushing a button) which cell the unit advances to in order to be tested. Once test is completed, the operator pushes the exit button which automatically sends unit back to exit conveyor. Upgraded conveyor system, PLC and controls was installed over shutdown schedule and with no down time during start up.
