We can build machines that perform at micron-accuracy to join, assemble, test, and inspect even the smallest of parts. Processes that were previously impossible to automate due to part size are now possible through advances in technology. From medical-grade rivets that are barely visible to the human eye to microscopic wire insertion, we have the experience to deliver highly specialized automated machines. Precision, accuracy, and repeatability are essential in this kind of application, and we have the capability to automate down to microscopic levels.
Small parts automation involves using advanced material handling systems and vision technology to enhance manufacturing processes such as assembly, dispensing, and welding. The definition of “small” varies across industries, from assembling consumer electronics to dispensing micro and nano fluids in medical applications.
Modern material handling systems are not only fast and flexible but also capable of precise positioning and manipulation. With advanced sensors and programming, these systems improve cycle rates and reduce errors by handling delicate components with accuracy.
As manufacturing shifts to micron and nanometer scales, automation ensures precision and efficiency. Key benefits include:
Automated machines make small parts manufacturing more efficient, reliable, and scalable for a wide range of industries and assembly capabilities:
