Standard Equipment and Chassis
Customers can choose from either our existing standard chassis platforms or choose to have a custom design best suited for their assembly application. Our core competencies include the design and fabrication of high-speed indexing dial assemblies, walking beam-type transfer systems, palletized transfer systems, cap closing machines, cap lining machines, and continuous motion assembly machines.
Our machines are user friendly and easily programmable. The machines feature a color display touch screen panel as the primary interface. Using the touch screen, the equipment can be programmed to run multiple jobs. Operators need only to enter a part number into the touch screen of the machine, this will access its local database to start producing the part.
We performance test, debug and install all the equipment that we build. Our skilled personnel provide on-site maintenance and servicing support.
