Competitive pressures and dynamic market demands have made the automotive industry the most automated in the world. But today, it's about more than just fast, repetitive, high-volume production. Collaborative robots are a fast-growing trend with automotive OEMs and Tier suppliers due to their easy setup, quick integration and safe operation.

Many companies are undergoing new reshoring efforts or moving projects between plants to gain greater control and efficiency.

As the world shifts towards high-tech solutions and products, the assembly industry is too. That’s why Beckwood developed the EVOx line of standard and custom servo-electric presses which use electric actuators in lieu of hydraulic systems to precisely control the ram.

Overhead power distribution, known as track busway systems, are quickly becoming the solution of choice in manufacturing. Busways have changed the way facilities supply electricity by forming a grid above the production floor.

This white paper takes an in-depth look at machine tending operations within today’s factories, and how cobots help machine shops free up valuable personnel, increase capacity while improving quality, and breathe new life into idle equipment.

When safety depends on light, the U.S. Armed Forces depend on Cyalume, the manufacturer and supplier of ChemLight, the go-to light stick that provides Illumination for tactical operations. But what happens if your supply chain is threatened. What do you do in the middle of a global pandemic?

There are numerous factors that influence the decision to leverage automation to solve for an application-related process or safety improvement. Today we take a closer look at what ASG Automation considers to be the main underlying factors leading our customers to implement automation programs to streamline and improve their processes.

For decades cam indexers have been used in automated lines to provide high precision location and sometimes in multiple stations in order for a process to be performed very accurately.

Identifying the best torque tooling solution for your application is paramount in your assembly process. Not all applications require the complexity and investment costs associated with DC tooling.

At six-second intervals, a highly automated line with three Stäubli robots assembles tire pressure sensors – four million units per year.
