Our customer, a leading provider of fasteners for aerospace applications wanted to automate one of their presses. This project was later on expanded to several presses. These presses, between 5 tons to 500 tons, are used to shape stainless steel slugs into various head shapes. The robot needs to interact, not just mechanically, but eclectically as well, with the press and other accessories associated with the press. The automation not only saves money and labor, but it significantly improves safety. Interacting with the press is a dangerous business. The robot takes over this function and it does it dutifully with no mistakes. Examples like this one can also reduce insurance costs. We can help you perform a cost/benefits analysis very simply. Our solutions often pay for themselves within 6 months from launch.
