Case Studies
Hose Assembly & Test Machine
The SDC team developed a comprehensive assembly and test machine with five process stations. Fed by the customer’s extruder line
Specialty Box Spotting Machines
Project Scope: Specialty Box Spotting Machines A manufacturer of paperboard boxes and long-term customer of SDC needed additional machines to perform a box-spotting assembly process.
Lens Casting Production Cell
The SDC team designed and built a casting production cell. To accommodate needed components, our team mounted a FANUC six-axis robot to the ceiling.
Electrical Connector Production
The SDC team developed an automated assembly machine with the capability to accommodate two styles of parts.
Automated Hose Leak Testing
An in-line processing machine was designed and built by SDC with two leak testing and unload stations on either side of the machine.
3D Bin Picking System
A 3D bin picking system was created using a loading system with a custom three-axis servo-driven cartesian robot. Tooled with magnetic grippers, the system picks parts off a cart and places them onto a belt conveyor.
Automated Conduit Clamp Assembly
An assembly work cell consisting of one central automated assembly machine was created to optimize the manufacturing process and increase quality with production.
Wire Inserting and Forming Assembly Machine
SDC designed and built an indexing dial assembly and test machine to manufacture a secondary bobbin assembly. This system was built on the SDChassis machine platform and provided a pre-engineered, smooth-running and cam-driven machine platform.
Semi-Automated Gas Valve Assembly
The SDC team built a custom semi-automated assembly machine. To accommodate several part sizes, a split plate fixture providing the drive torque was designed for a quick change-out with different sized plates stored below the operating area.
Continuous Motion Packing System
Within this system, we designed and built several fully automated continuous motion systems which apply a powder coating to both sides of a tape product, feed and prepare containers for the tape, load the tape into the containers and seal the containers with a lid.
