OEM Manufacturing

OEM Manufacturing

Challenge:

A local OEM manufacturer wanted to get faster cycle times and automate the production of existing parts. Different styles of parts, and complex multi step processing required several stages of work-inprocess.

Product(s) Used:

  • FANUC M16iB Toploading Robot
  • FANUC V500iA 2D Vision System
  • Nakamura-Tome STW-40 Multi-tasking CNC Turn/Mill Center
  • Simple in-feed conveyor system

Solution:

The system that we provided to this manufacturer allows flexible operation and the ability to easily add new parts to this system. The vision system, placed over the in-feed conveyor, allows many different parts to be processed without the need for special escapements or part positioning hardware. The multitasking turn/mill center allows full turning, milling, drilling, tapping, and porting in one operation on this twin spindle mill/turn center. Part quality is up, cycle time is down, and work-in-process is eliminated.
