Manufacturing Automation Case Studies

  Customer Requirement Our carpet tile manufacturer customer needed an automated solution to load and unload a carpet tile press. These tiles are made in one large format, the master tile, and cut to size using a die and press system called a planker. There are two possible cut tile sizes made from the master…

Project Specifications Customer Requirement: Automate the load and unload of machine tools used to machine castings into bearing mounts. The Solution: MESH designed and built a robotic system using two robots to load and unload a CNC mill, a CNC drill, two CNC lathes, product ID stamping, and quality control checks. MESH's system used two…

Project Info Customer Requirement:  A robotic system to pick up, orient, and present two halves of a heat shield to a riveter for joining and to offload the finished product. Solution:  MESH designed, manufactured, and installed a customizable system that used a KUKA robot and custom end-of-arm tooling to do the following: Pick up two…

Customer Requirement An automated robotic machine that could pick up and place a shock-absorber rod with washer stack from the input dial, present it to an orbital riveter for nut retention, and load a part transfer dial for finished goods exit of the cell. The cycle rate was proven at 8 seconds per part. Performance…

Project Details MESH designed, manufactured, integrated, and started up five robotic tending cells for the fabrication and polishing of galvanized aluminum reflector domes. The material flow started with a flat sheet of aluminum, which was punched, formed, and polished. An ABB IRB4600 robot with a MESH-designed dual jaw end-of-arm tool was used to pick, place,…
