Mechanical Design Applications

From cell layout and conceptual tooling, to process planning and material handling, AMT can design the mechanical components of the most complex lines and cells. We provide design, layout, detail and check for complete 2D and 3D tooling packages. We work to validate concepts and verify tooling designs before they are manufactured for savings in productivity, cost and time. Some of the areas where we have significant design and process experience are:

  • Automotive Assembly Fixtures and Processing
  • Robotic Material Handling
  • Robotic Resistance Welding
  • Robotic Packaging, Palletizing
  • Flexible Vision Systems
  • Press to Press Automation Systems
  • Conveyance systems.
  • Product testing fixtures.
  • Robotic End of Arm tooling designs.
  • Custom machine design.
  • General Human Assembly Tooling and Process Design.

 

Application Examples

Multiple Part Style Fixturing Equipment Design

The following video is a complex tool that manages many part styles. There are model select slides and dumps designed into the tooling thereby reducing the number of tools required for the process. The reduction of the number of tools required saves cost not only directly with the additional tooling reduced but indirectly with the controls, programming and maintenance costs that are no longer required.

Weld Tool And Fixture Design For Multiple Models

The following video is a tool that manages multiple part styles in a typical automotive application. There are model select slides and dumps designed into the tooling thereby reducing the number of tools required for the process. The reduction of the number of tools required saves cost not only directly with the additional tooling reduced but indirectly with the controls, programming and maintenance costs that are no longer required. The two main slides index the bank of weld guns for the differences between models. Without this slide there would be three times as many weld guns.
