Assembly Systems: For Your Process - For Your Industry
To manufacturers whose process involve parts handling and any size assembly or sub-assembly, The Taylor-Winfield Assembly product line offers valuable automation technology. The industries we serve range from appliance to automotive and all types of transportation, small products and hard goods to electrical and electronics. We provide general automation for mechanical or electro-mechanical assembly, as well as systems for industries with specialized processes and highly sensitive environments.
For Systems Designed and Built to Your Needs
Each Taylor-Winfield system is custom-designed and built to the requirements of the specific assembly process. System components - from new designs to selected existing solutions - are properly integrated, and their quality assures precise, reliable performance in these disciplines:
Assembly -
Robotic transfer arms are integrated for more complex, intricate operations. Joining processes such as multiple welds and the application of coatings and adhesives are common examples of their functions. All are programmable and selected for their proven dependability and ease of operation. Joining and fastening equipment for the methods you use - from welding, driving screws and rivets to adhesive bonding can also be incorporated.
Indexing -
Rotary and linear index systems are configured and integrated to move your work pieces smoothly and reliably from station to station. Parts loading and unloading equipment can be provided as part of the production line or for specific stages of the assembly process.
Diagnostics
T-W has designed custom systems with sophisticated diagnostics that assist your machine operators and maintenance technicians with the operation of the equipment. We have also utilized special software packages that include such features as Statistical Process Control (SPC), Event Detectors, Data Logger, Reporting, Trending Network and Alarming
Synchronous Systems, Rotary and Linear
We design and build the configuration that keeps your work pieces moving, work station to work station. It's a well crafted component with assured quality performance, and just part of the whole system integrity that makes T-W automation a sound, reliable decision for you.
Non Synchronous Systems
Manual stations and automatic stations can be built on linear tracks as well as cross transfers. These systems are especially suitable for the cost effective assembly of products in series production. Furthermore, it becomes possible to work in steps by adding automated cells to the assembly process at a later date. Non-synchronous systems gain an additional advantage over synchronous systems from the standpoint that all of the workstations are independent of each preceding and following stations.
Our high standards in robotic transfer arms are paramount to providing the best automated assembly systems in the industry. This is a position that we are committed to maintaining, by bringing you the valuable solutions you need, now and in the future.
Quality Control
Automatic vision systems are available for on-line inspection of parts, small assembles or assemblies. Reject parts sensors and handling equipment can also be provided to signal and/or remove problem parts from the line. Tracking systems - bar code, mechanical and software driven - for parts and assemblies are integrated as required. Self diagnostic functions can be included for monitoring and display of operating status and conditions.
System Automation
Your Taylor-Winfield system can be semi-automatic or fully automatic according to your utilization of human resources, economics, your process and product needs.
For Production Flexibility and Factory Floor Durability
Importantly, Taylor-Winfield systems offer you flexible automation - for the way you must manufacture today. Your system can be designed for efficient on-site adjustment to changing project parameters and production rates.We will integrate it into your existing lines or develop it as part of a new line, and can design it to meet our CIM requirements
A valuable advantage of all Taylor-Winfield systems and components is their ability to withstand the rigors of production and plant environment. Your system is fully tested in our manufacturing facilities and yours to make certain. Our reputation for solidly reliable equipment backs your system. And of course, direct Taylor-Winfield support and service is easily accessible and prompt.
