We design production lines, dedicated equipment, manipulators and robotic cells around specific manufacturing tasks, available space and connections to existing equipment.
Describe the operation currently performed manually or on existing equipment and the change you need. The product, task sequence, part feeding and unloading arrangements, and available space are important inputs.
Include product variants and adjustments the equipment needs to accommodate. We use these to discuss whether dedicated equipment, a manipulator, a robotic cell or another process arrangement is appropriate.
Mechanical assemblies and controls are considered together. We agree how the equipment will connect to other systems and which data needs to be exchanged. Information systems are included according to production needs and the agreed scope.
If the project also involves new products or electronic assemblies, development can be combined with other Vialco services. Installation, operating and verification requirements are defined before implementation.
An automation project needs a clear set of requirements. Equipment tasks, interfaces, available information and the extent of design and implementation are agreed before a quotation is prepared.
An initial description, photographs or a sketch of the existing workstation can support the first discussion. Describe the intended changes precisely. Cycle-time and other targets are inputs for review, rather than confirmed equipment performance.
The scope can cover one workstation or task. Describe the process and its connections to the rest of production so we can review the options.
Photographs, dimensions, a controls description and connection or communication documentation are useful. We agree any further information after the initial review.
Enter your email and a short description. Add the material, quantity and preferred date if you have them.
Lead time and feasibility are confirmed after reviewing the documentation.
