AMT Opens New Midwest Regional Office
AMT
is opening a new Midwest regional office located in Saint Louis,
Missouri. The new office will support the growing Midwest market as
well as AMT’s key local customers. The office will be headed by AMT
veteran Andy Jones as the company’s new regional director. AMT believes
the Midwest region, and greater St. Louis in particular, are key areas
for automation growth. Direct operations in Saint Louis will help us
support our local customers in the automotive, food and packaging
markets, as well as the growing regional automation market.
The
new office will include sales, support, engineering, training and
development departments. Initial hiring is underway now, and a new
facility will be open in early 2007. If you're a St. Louis area

Integrated Vision EOA Tool
A common problem facing
manufacturing is the need to handle multiple sizes of products within a product family, all on a common
assembly / test / pack-out line. In the past, the common approach was to build conveyors and other process
equipment that could be manually adjusted for each size in the product family. However, as manufacturing
evolves to shrinking lot sizes and shorter product life cycles, manual adjustments just won't deliver the productivity.
Robots
are inherently flexible, and are perfectly suited to support multiple
product sizes or families. But to be truly effective, that flexibility
needs to extend to the end-of-arm-tool as well. AMT has developed servo
driven tools that can be programmed as an extension of the robot to
support multiple product configurations. Let us show you how a flexible
servo driven EOAT can simplify your operations and increase the
throughput on your multi product lines.
