Mechanical Design
Every robot system needs tooling – from a simple end-of-arm gripper to the most complex automotive geo tools. The mechanical design process in automation extends from selecting the physical site in the factory to designing the most complex mechanical component in the line. Along the way, the mechanical design will also address the actual process development, integration of peripherals, and with Simulation, reach and cycle time analysis, safety design, and equipment placement.
Technology Description
Mechanical Processing and Design is the process involving 3D CAD software which with engineering expertise transforms an idea from conception to processing to design and finally to implementation. This activity is performed concurrently with 3D simulation, engineering processing, engineering design, control system design and our customers with a defined project management process.
Benefits
- Lean Processing utilizing state of the art processing software and techniques for both new and existing projects.
- Reduce customer capital cost by reusing current equipment.
- Reduce customer build cost by designing common and lean tooling.
- Reduce customer production cost by optimizing the quantity of tooling and operators.
- Maximize the quality of production by adhering to best design practices and standards.
- Maximize customer production throughput through concurrent engineering with 3D simulation validation.
