Whatever you assembly, we can help you do it automatically.

Efficient, precise, and adaptable—our assembly systems are designed to meet the demands of modern manufacturing. Whether your product consists of just a few components or requires the seamless integration of 15 or more, our expertise ensures each piece is fed, positioned, and assembled with accuracy. With a collaborative engineering approach, we customize solutions that integrate the best available technology—or design entirely new components in-house when necessary. From high-speed pick-and-place to advanced welding and vision-guided assembly, our systems deliver unmatched reliability, speed, and efficiency to optimize your production process.

We have unique experience in feeding a variety of components into a centralized machine and assembling them. Whether you manufacture a product that consists of 3 different components or 15+ components, our systems can assemble them correctly and efficiently.

Our experienced engineering team takes a collaborative approach to each project, and if we can’t find the right component or system to integrate, we’ll design and engineer it in-house to meet your exact specifications. This ensures that every detail of the system is optimized for your production needs. We integrate the best available equipment, software, and technology tailored to your specific application. Our solutions are efficient and reliable, with proven results that enhance your manufacturing speed, increase productivity, and boost overall profitability.

SDC specializes in providing custom machines to automate production and improve the factory floor when compared to traditional manufacturing. High-speed automated assembly machines streamline complex manufacturing processes, combining precision, efficiency, and speed to significantly increase output while reducing human error. These machines are designed to perform repetitive tasks such as part assembly, component placement, and quality inspections at high rates, often exceeding manual capabilities.

Over the years, our team has engineered and built hundreds of machines for a wide range of industries, producing an array of products. We take a tailored approach to each project, evaluating the specific needs of the product and application to develop a unique blend of proprietary processes and equipment. This ensures that all machine specifications are met, providing a solution that improves production speed, reduces downtime, and enhances overall productivity and profitability.

Flexible Options for Your Production Needs

While all of our projects are custom-built to meet your unique needs, we understand that time and cost efficiency are critical. In many situations, we can use one of our pre-engineered machine bases as a starting point, allowing us to deliver a cost-effective solution and reduce lead time. These pre-engineered solutions are designed to be flexible and adaptable, making it easier for us to customize the final system to fit your specific assembly application.

By combining our custom engineering with pre-engineered SDC components, we streamline the design and integration process, ensuring that you get a high-performance solution built to your exact requirements, while also benefiting from reduced development time and cost savings. Whether you’re looking for a fully custom solution or an optimized combination of custom and pre-engineered components, we have the expertise to deliver exactly what you need, on time and on budget.
