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.
Precision Wire Insertion Machine
This machine uses camera-based vision systems to locate the end of the wire and the position of the holes in the housing, then a robot uses offset coordinates based on vision results to make a precision move to insert the wires.
Fin Former Machine
To increase the machine’s speed, a servo-driven ball screw was used to replace the air-over-oil cylinder. Previously, this cylinder proved to be a bottleneck when pushing the machine to its limits.
High-Speed, 3-Part Home Fragrance Assembly Cell
The automated assembly machine takes a cotton fragrance wick and inserts it into a plastic holder. A small nail is then inserted to hold the assembly together. The indexing table fixture consists of a precision bore to hold the plastic sleeve, as the remainder of the assembly is built in the sleeve.
Automated Medical Device Assembly Machine
SDC designed and built an automated robotic machine that produces assemblies containing extruded medical tubing. Key components of the assembly machine include tube feeding…
Electrical Connector Assembly and Inspection Machine
SDC successfully designed and built a new type of a field-terminable plug contact assembly machine that was quicker, less-expensive, and had a smaller footprint…
Fully-Automated Home Fragrance Wall-Plug Assembly
SDC designed and built a machine to increase production capacity as the final wick assemblies were to feed a new high-speed production line.
Automated Bolt-Washer & Palletizing Machine
This automated bolt-washer assembly and palletizing machine was custom designed and built by SDC and features our proprietary SDChassis, a conveyor, and SCARA robot.
Automatic Laser Marking Cell
SDC designed, programmed and built a robotic work-cell to pick a friction disk from an incoming cart and present the disk for vision inspection,…
Shoe Insole Assembly Machine
SDC designed and built an automated custom machine to manufacture orthopedic shoe insoles in high volumes.
