Automated Lean Assembly Machines
Insulator Ring-to-Stator Assembly Press Machine
S4A designed and built the Servo Press Machine, Conveyor Load/Unload and a Single Station Machine.
Jacket Servo Press Machine
S4A designed and built Machine-to-Press Bearings for a Jacket Assembly. We utilized three different Cognex cameras for barcode scanning, error proofing and post-process gauging. S4A designed a Force vs. Distance Graphing and Data Acquisition System.
Dimple Press Machine
S4A designed and built Machine-to-Press for two parts simultaneously. We utilized air-over-oil cylinders.
Friction Process Spin Welder
S4A refurbished Machine-to-Friction Weld Fittings for plastic tubing with orientation and critical process tracking that includes a graphing capability. S4A replaced Siemens with a new Omron control system.
Dial Assembly Machines
Laser Marker Dial Machine
S4A designed a Build-to-Print Laser Marking Dial Machine. It has manual load, auto unload utilizing a 4-Station Dial Assembly Machine with KEYENCE laser markers.
Robotic Dial Machine
S4A designed and built the Robotic Dial Machine. It has robotic load/unload and an 8-Station Dial Assembly Machine utilizing roll form tapping, Smart Press, screw feed & torque and Denso robots.
6-Station Dial Machine
S4A designed and built the 6-Station Dial Machine. It has manual load/unload and a 6-Station Dial Assembly Machine utilizing feeder bowls, KEYENCE gauging and air-over-oil press.
Brake Hose Fitting Assembly Dial Machine
S4A’s flood recovery rebuild of a Brake Hose Fitting Assembly Dial Machine. It has auto load/unload and an 8-Station Dial Assembly Machine utilizing feeder bowls and O-ring installation.
Assembly Systems
Robotic Door Trim Assembly Machine
S4A designed and built a Robotic Door Trim Assembly Machine. It has manual load, auto unload and an 8-Station Walking Beam Transfer utilizing Epson Robots for assembly operations.
Flying Cut-Off Machine
S4A designed and built a Flying Cut-Off Machine to continuously cut moving material off a de-reeler to a pre-programmed product length. It incorporates a Speed Compensating Laser Encoder and an Integrated Automatic Die Changing capability.
Lean Assembly Cell
S4A designed and built the Lean Assembly Cell (with rail-mounted, moveable End Station with flexibility to run from 6 to 22 Stations). It has flexible line balancing to match operators with production requirements and also incorporates smart, quick-change Fixture Pallets for multiple product platforms with RFID traceability.
Balance Machine
S4A Mechanical and Controls rebuild of a Hydraulic BEL Balance Machine providing improved cycle time and throughput and machine performance and new data acquisition capability for traceability.
