Machine Tending

Media

Kinemetrix robotic machine tending solutions help you to compete:

  • Quick changeover for low volume/high mix production
  • Fully integrated systems for unattended multiple shift production
  • Keep your key process outputs protected from human variation and short-staffing
  • A wide range of inline inspection techniques to confirm 100% part and process quality
  • Integration of upstream and downstream processes such as: cleaning, assembly, and functional testing

FLEXIBILITY

Robotic machine tending solutions, quick-change tooling. Anticipating future production changes is challenging. Kinemetrix robotic machine tending solutions are designed with flexibility in mind:

  • Rapid, tool-less, or completely automated changeovers. Run low volume/high mix production profitably.
  • Scalable systems expandable as production volumes increase
  • Modular robotic machine tending units on mobile docking bases allow reconfiguration of layout and production flow.
  • Machine tending solutions tailored to your application with floor-mounted, collaborative or overhead rail-mounted Fanuc robots.

PART MARKING AND TRACKING

Automated machine tending: part traceability datacode. Laser or dot-peen marking, full production data traceability. Our machine tending systems tracks your parts and using serial numbers and lot codes via technologies such as:

  • Laser Marking
  • Pin Stamping
  • Inkjet Printing
  • Print and Apply Labeling
  • Production database / MRP integration

INSPECTION & TEST

Automated vision inspection, custom machine, munitions inspectionAutomated in-process inspection is necessary to confirm quality before passing parts to the next operation. Parts are inspected  before and after each process step for extremely high reliability output. Kinemetrix has experience developing all types of inspection and test solutions. Find out more here about the variety of automated inspections that are available.

PART OUTFEED

Fanuc robot integration: Robotic packaging. Automated dunnage handling. Example application: Fanuc robotic integration in a Kentucky wheel manufacturing plant. Custom part outfeeds can be designed and integrated including:

  • Conveyors
  • Part Storage Racks
  • Packaging Lines
  • Robotic Palletizing Systems
  • Dunnage Handling

Robots equipped with twin end-of-arm-tools can pass parts from one operation to the next efficiently, minimizing floorspace and hardware costs.
