Continuous motion assembly machines

Very high-speed assembly machines

The continuous motion machines are doing the assembly processes and tests while the product moving. This technology mainly applies to circular parts and fragile parts such as valves, spray pumps, pushers, or rectangular but simple parts like irrigation drippers…
To feed other parts geometry then the machine will use an intermediate vehicle called “puck”. The machine tools can be also designed to accommodate product variants.

Prior to validating the machine design, Derisking (Proof of Principle) are carried out to simulate complex or difficult processes. The technical concept is then integrated entirely in the complete machine.

CONTINUOUS MOTION MACHINE STRENGTHS:

  • Robustness, reliability, repeatability, to ensure performance
  • High precision technology and very high sustainability speed
  • Long Process time (good to ensure strong US welding)
  • Low maintenance cost
  • Small machine footprint
  • Connectivity, secure interface for remote service
  • Quality check system integration

The various kinds of continuous motion machines

AUTOMATIC CONTINUOUS MOTION MACHINES

Cycle speed from 9000 to 60000 parts/hour
Production qty: 50M-400M parts/year

The parts are directed towards the Dial and introduced on the fly. Despite a high production output, the assembly process is done in the dial rotating at 25 rpm, thus allowing a relative long process time

Quality checks: all sorts of sensors and camera can be inserted in the process.

PILOT CONTINUOUS MOTION MACHINES

Small series for the purpose of devices used for clinical tests, prior to the industrial phase.

Parts are loaded automatically
Compact machine adapted to the clean room environment IS07
Limited CAPEX

The pilot machine capacity and complexity are scalable and can be done gradually

SPECIFIC MACHINES

In that category fall:

  • Tubing machines
  • Leak testing and priming testing machines
  • Assembly of aerosol pusher
  • Ultrasonic welding machines
